Description
About Rowden 

We’re building the next UK-headquartered engineering powerhouse.  

There is a gulf between the needs of mission-focused organisations and the development and delivery of the critical technology they rely on. The consequences of this are felt acutely by underserved frontline operators, demanding a new breed of engineering enterprise to bridge this divide. 

Rowden exists to meet this need. We design and build systems, infrastructure, and applications to deliver mission advantage to those working to protect the security of the UK and its allies. Rowden is setting a new standard in government technology provision: hyper-efficient engineering, better customer relationships, and rapid assimilation of commercial technology.

The role: Senior Data Engineer – Cyber Threat Intelligence 

The Senior Data Engineer plays a vital role in enhancing the organisation's cybersecurity capabilities by building and maintaining data pipelines that ingest, process, and visualise cyber threat intelligence (CTI) data. The focus of the role involves the setup and maintenance of the OpenCTI Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), managing data ingestion into Elastic for visualisation and analysis purposes, and integrating threat intelligence feeds with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems.  

This position will enable seamless data flow from internal and external CTI feeds into OpenCTI, Elastic for threat intelligence visualisation, and SIEM systems to support threat detection, analysis, and incident response.  

Your initial deployment is anticipated to be on-site in the West Midlands for approximately two years, working within a hybrid team of contractors and military personnel for a government organisation. While this role offers hybrid working options, it requires a minimum of 4 days per week on-site. Candidates must be willing to obtain a UKNSV security clearance with SC being essential, and DV clearance desirable. You do not have to have worked on customer sites or in a consultancy role previously.

More information about security clearance is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels

Key areas of responsibility

  • Lead the deployment, configuration, and customisation of the OpenCTI Threat Intelligence Platform, integrating external and internal CTI feeds. 
  • Build and optimise data pipelines to ingest CTI data into Elastic for real-time analysis and visualization. 
  • Collaborate with CTI and SOC teams to design visualisations and dashboards that support incident detection and strategic decision-making. 
  • Automate data ingestion and transformation processes across OpenCTI, Elastic, and SIEM systems. 
  • Continuously optimise data pipelines to ensure low-latency processing and minimal downtime. 
  • Monitor and troubleshoot data ingestion processes, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery of threat intelligence. 
  • Maintain documentation of platform configurations, data ingestion pipelines, and integrations. 
  • Provide training and support for teams on the use of OpenCTI and Elastic. 
  • Ensure compliance with internal security policies and regulatory requirements, including GDPR.
