System Engineer Cyber Security (m/f/d)

That's why we need you!

Because you don't just want to recognize security problems, but also solve them! As part of our Blue Team at Leuchter, you combine System Engineering with Cyber Security. You analyze security alerts in our Security Operations Center (SOC), actively participate in customer projects, and implement preventive protective measures.

We are convinced: Good security analysts must understand the systems they protect. That is why you will strengthen and expand your knowledge in the area of Prevent and in customer projects with us by configuring solutions yourself, testing protective functions, and troubleshooting errors.

In doing so, you can rely on an experienced team that shares knowledge, supports each other, and tackles challenges together. We value curiosity, reliability, and original ideas. You will receive freedom to try out new approaches and implement tasks independently.

Your tasks & your responsibility

• You investigate security alerts and suspicious activities, clarify affected systems and accounts, and assess whether an attack is present. During security incidents, you support containment and remediation, document your investigation, and explain the results and next steps to our customers.
• You plan and realize system and cyber security projects for our customers and in our datacenter. You clarify requirements, set up systems and protective functions in local, hybrid, and cloud-based environments, and test them. Documentation and acceptance are also part of it.
• You evaluate automated vulnerability scans and insecure configurations and clarify with our customers which measures must be implemented first. Together, you close security gaps, correct insecure settings or overly broad permissions, and subsequently verify the result. We particularly value your ideas and your participation in the further development of our security scans and automations.
• You operate our own security platform and analyze errors in ongoing operations. If data is missing or evaluations deliver unexpected results, you investigate the cause. You describe errors in a comprehensible manner and pass your findings and concrete suggestions for improvement directly to development.
• You develop and test detection rules with the team, investigate recurring false alarms, and supplement our playbooks with concrete investigation steps. You simplify recurring queries, data preparations, and manual work steps through automation. You use insights from incidents, customer projects, and current attack methods to continuously improve our detection and investigation processes.

What you bring with you

You do not need to know every product yet or be specialized in every security topic. Solid technical foundations, careful working, and the willingness to learn are important to us.

• You have an IT education or a comparable qualification and bring practical experience in System Engineering or Cyber Security. You are also welcome with us if you are currently undertaking part-time IT studies.
• You are familiar with Windows Server and Clients, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft 365. You understand how systems, identities, and networks interact.
• You have already gained practical experience in individual security topics. For example, you have hardened systems, worked with endpoint security solutions, investigated security alerts, or secured identities and permissions. You want to familiarize yourself with further areas.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Defender XDR or Microsoft Sentinel is particularly welcome. PowerShell for automation and KQL for analysis will help you in everyday life.
• You value direct customer contact and explain technical contexts understandably. You work in a structured and reliable manner, keep commitments, and handle customer systems and sensitive data carefully.
• You enjoy getting to the bottom of technical questions, testing solution paths, and sharing your knowledge with the team. Even under time pressure, you set priorities, address uncertainties openly, and seek support if necessary.
