Job Description
About the Opportunity
👉Join the Security Operations Center as a SOC Analyst, a critical frontline role responsible for protecting the organization against security threats and operational disruptions across 24×7 rotation. You'll be at the intersection of security and operations, monitoring real-time alerts, investigating suspicious activity, responding to incidents, and supporting infrastructure operations. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment where multiple security and IT issues can converge at once, and who wants to build deep expertise across both security-focused and operational-support workflows.
What You Will Do
- Monitor real-time security alerts and investigate suspicious network, endpoint, and cloud activity through SIEM queries and threat-analysis tools to detect emerging threats.
- Identify, declare, document, and escalate security incidents in line with established incident-response (IR) playbooks, ensuring rapid containment and remediation.
- Analyze and remediate email-based threats including phishing, malware, spoofing attempts, and manage endpoint device security through EDR workflows and MDM policies.
- Act as the first-line point of contact for IT requests including password resets, account unlocks, hardware provisioning, email/collaboration-platform issues, and application access problems
- Maintain accurate and timely ticket documentation, case notes, and incident summaries, contribute to runbook improvements, process documentation, and knowledge base articles to support team efficiency.
- Monitor external attack surface including brand-impersonation activity, fraudulent domain registrations, social-engineering threats, and validate honeytoken decoys to detect unauthorized lateral-movement attempts.
About You
Must-have experience and skills
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in a Security Operations Center, security monitoring, or incident-response role, demonstrated ability to triage alerts, investigate incidents, and execute incident-response procedures.
- Experience investigating data-exfiltration indicators including unusual file transfers, large data-volume anomalies, credential harvesting attempts, and unauthorized cloud-service access
- Solid understanding of IT infrastructure concepts including networks (IP, DNS, ports, protocols), endpoints (macOS), and identity systems (IAM, SSO, MFA).
- Experience with incident-response frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK), incident-command models and familiarity with ticketing systems (Jira, Linear or similar).
- Detail-oriented with strong documentation discipline. Able to write clear, concise incident summaries and shift notes, reliable follow-through on tasks and comfortable asking clarifying questions rather than making assumptions.
- Proactive problem-solver and analytical-thinker with sound judgment about when to escalate vs. when to investigate further.
Nice-to-have experience
- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science or Information Technology.
- Proficiency with Okta for SSO/authentication workflows, admin console operations, and user access management is highly preferred.
- Experience with Jamf for Apple/macOS device management
- Exposure to Google SecOps, DoControl, Code42 and Cloudflare email security.
