Simulation & Detection Engineer



Job description

We’re hiring: Simulation & Detection Engineer (BAS / SIEM / EDR / XDR)

Hack in Hire is recruiting for a cybersecurity consulting and services company (Barcelona-based, international scope) that has been protecting organizations for years across incident response, digital forensics, managed services, threat intelligence, and Red & Purple Team engagements.

The team is growing its Security Control Validation + Detection Engineering capability and is looking for someone who enjoys turning realistic adversary simulations into high-signal detections and clear improvement plans for customers.

About the role


As a Simulation & Detection Engineer, you’ll combine offensive and defensive thinking to evaluate and improve customer security controls.

You’ll operate and refine Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) tooling, design attack scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, analyze simulation outcomes, and translate gaps into detection rules, mitigations, and actionable reporting for technical and executive stakeholders.


What you’ll do

  • Operate, tune, and administer BAS / attack simulation tools to validate security controls in realistic scenarios
  • Select and replicate adversary tactics and techniques aligned with MITRE ATT&CK
  • Analyze simulation results to identify detection/control gaps and improvement opportunities
  • Define threat detection and mitigation strategies based on findings
  • Design, develop, and fine-tune detection rules across SIEM / EDR / XDR platforms
  • Configure and manage lab environments to execute attack simulations safely and repeatably
  • Automate evaluation and reporting workflows by building scripts/tools (e.G., Python, PowerShell, Bash)
  • Produce technical and executive reports communicating risks, evidence, and recommendations clearly to customers


What we’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering / Cybersecurity (or equivalent proven professional experience)
  • 2–3 years of experience in one or more of the following:
  • Adversary simulation / BAS platforms (e.G., AttackIQ, Caldera, Cymulate, Pentera, SafeBreach, or similar)
  • Detection engineering / SOC work creating and optimizing alerts in SIEM and/or EDR
  • Strong understanding of Windows telemetry/logs and events for proactive detection
  • Solid grasp of adversary TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Experience with SIEM/EDR tools such as CrowdStrike, Cortex, Splunk, Elastic (ELK), LogRhythm, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, Chronicle, Wazuh (or comparable)
  • Scripting skills (Bash, Python, PowerShell) for automation and tooling
  • Systems administration knowledge across Windows and UNIX/Linux
  • Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, core protocols)
  • “Purple mindset”: think like an adversary while strengthening defenses
  • Ability to communicate clearly in English in technical and international environments
  • Certifications and/or a Master’s degree in cybersecurity are a plus


What’s offered

  • Salary range: €28k–€38k (depending on experience and capability)
  • Barcelona or remote (telework) flexibility, with access to comfortable offices
  • Join an international, young, dynamic team with a great working environment
  • Close collaboration with Red Team and Blue Team, with exposure to multiple detection technologies and real-world scenarios
  • Continuous training (internal + external), including certifications and annual conference attendance
  • Personalized career development plan aligned with your growth
  • Work-life balance support + summer intensive schedule
  • Flexible compensation plan (meals, transport, childcare, training)
  • Private health insurance
