Job Description:

What’s the Role

As organizations expand their digital and operational technology (OT) environments, the cyber‑attack surface grows rapidly. High‑profile incidents across industries demonstrate that cyber threats are real, sophisticated, and persistent — impacting business continuity, data integrity, and brand reputation.

To stay resilient, our Detect & Respond team plays a critical role in identifying intrusions, uncovering vulnerabilities, and responding to cyber incidents across both IT and OT landscapes. We are strengthening our global detection and incident response capabilities, and we are now looking for a Senior Detect & Respond Analyst to help elevate our cyber defense posture.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your role is ideal for someone who thrives in high‑pressure environments, enjoys deep technical investigation, and wants to contribute to protecting critical infrastructure.

As a Senior Detect & Respond Analyst, you will:

• Execute end‑to‑end Detect & Incident Response processes — from initial detection through containment, eradication, and post‑incident review

• Identify, triage, and respond to real‑time cyber intrusions across IT and OT environments

• Lead detailed investigations to minimize business impact and uncover root causes

• Collaborate with security engineering, automation, threat intelligence, and other cyber capabilities to continuously enhance detection and response

• Analyze and correlate security events using industry‑leading SIEM, EDR, and network monitoring technologies (e.g., SIEM platforms, endpoint protection, IDS/IPS, network telemetry)

• Monitor the performance and effectiveness of deployed security controls

• Report vulnerabilities and drive corrective actions with stakeholders

• Conduct forensic analysis, threat hunting, and advanced investigations

• Develop and refine playbooks, standard operating procedures, and detection logic

• Provide clear communication of incident impact and remediation progress to technical and executive stakeholders

• Support wargame exercises, tabletop simulations, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Participate in a rotating on‑call schedule to support 24/7 operations during critical incidents

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone with:

• A bachelor’s degree (Master’s preferred) in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field. Certifications such as SANS, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA are a plus

• Extensive experience in Cyber Detect & Respond, SOC operations, cybersecurity investigations, or network operations

• Strong preference for OT SOC experience — including monitoring and responding to threats in industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, and critical infrastructure environments

• A solid background in one or more technical security domains, such as:

  • Ethical hacking / penetration testing

  • Red teaming / adversary simulation

  • Digital forensics

  • Threat hunting

  • Network security engineering

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to examine complex data sets and identify patterns, anomalies, and attack indicators

• Hands‑on experience with SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, firewalls, proxies, and network monitoring technologies

• Understanding of the current threat landscape, attacker TTPs, malware behavior, and incident response practices

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash), and system internals (Windows/Linux)

• Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple investigations, and coordinate effectively across teams

• Willingness to support after‑hours and on‑call responsibilities during high‑priority incidents

What we offer 

You bring your skills and experience to Shell and in return you work with talented, committed people on one of the most important challenges facing our planet. You’ll have the opportunity to develop the skills you need to grow in an environment where we value honesty, integrity, and respect for one another.

You’ll be able to balance your priorities as you become the best version of yourself. 

• Progress as a person as we work on the energy transition together

• Continuously grow the transferable skills you need to get ahead

• Work at the forefront of technology, trends, and practices

• Collaborate with experienced colleagues with unique expertise

• Achieve your balance in a value-led culture that encourages you to be the best version of yourself

• Benefit from flexible working hours, and the possibility of remote/mobile working

• Perform at your best with a competitive starting salary and annual performance related salary increase – our pay and benefits packages are considered to be among the best in the world

• Take advantage of paid parental leave, including for non-birthing parents

• Join an organisation working to become one of the most diverse and inclusive in the world. We strongly encourage applicants of all genders, ages, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, sexual orientation, and life experiences to apply

• Grow as you progress through diverse career opportunities in national and international teams

• Gain access to a wide range of training and development programmes

Company Description:

Shell in The Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of the two founding countries of the company. Here 9,380 employees (March 2024) of more than 100 nationalities jointly work to provide the country with energy for today, for tomorrow and for you.

Energy for today

The refinery at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam (Pernis) - Europe’s largest - is facing a cleaner future with less carbon emissions. Chemicals Park Moerdijk is transitioning to a circular future. Shell operates multiple wind and solar farms in the Netherlands. Both onshore and offshore, Shell is exploring for and producing oil and gas via the Nederlandsche Aardolie Maatschappij, NAM (50% Shell, 50% ExxonMobil). Shell is the market leader in transport fuels. Dutch motorists take 3 billion litres of fuel from 570 Shell retail stations (May 2024) annually, while thousands of Shell's own fast EV charge points and Shell Ubitricity normal charge points are being installed as we speak.

Energy for tomorrow

At the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA), research is conducted into low CO2 energy technologies and sustainable solutions for energy and chemicals. Near Rotterdam Shell builds Europe's biggest green hydrogen plant of the continent. From Amsterdam and The Hague, Shell Nederland leads the transition of the corporation to a more sustainable future, with 6.5 billion euros invested in solar panels, wind farms, green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, EV charging and other groundbreaking solutions for the future.

Energy for you

Even after the company HQ moved to London in January 2022, Shell's commitment to the Netherlands remains very strong. The Hague still housing the headquarters of three of Shell's business divisions, and Rotterdam stays a key trading, marketing and sales hub for Shell products. Combined Shell in the Netherlands works to bring its wide range of energy products as close as possible to you as an energy consumer. This includes a Shell Impact Fund to make the energy transition closer to people with financial challenges, this includes EV chargers on the corner of your street via our daughter company Ubitricity and this includes keeping the country warm in winter with Liquid Natural Gas.
