About the role
- Take escalations from L1 and independently investigate complex, multi-signal alerts (identity compromise, cloud control-plane abuse, endpoint persistence, lateral movement, suspicious automation, data exfiltration).
- Perform deep log/telemetry analysis across SIEM, EDR, cloud logs, IAM signals, network telemetry, email security, and SaaS audit trails.
- Build and validate hypotheses, pivot across data sources, and produce clear incident timelines and scope assessments.
- Serve as technical incident lead for defined incident types/severities (or co-lead with IR), driving containment and eradication steps within authorized bounds.
- Execute and improve response playbooks for key scenarios (phishing/BEC, credential theft, token/key compromise, suspicious API activity, ransomware indicators, insider risk signals).
Requirements
- 2–5+ years of SOC / incident response / security operations experience (or equivalent hands-on experience in a fast-paced production environment).
- Strong ability to investigate across cloud security operations, endpoint security, identity, and core network fundamentals.
- Proficiency with at least one SIEM and common SOC tooling (e.g., Splunk/Elastic/Sentinel; CrowdStrike/Defender; Jira/ServiceNow).
- Ability to write clear incident documentation: timelines, scope, impact, containment actions, and recommended remediations.
- Comfort operating in an on-call or shift environment (depending on coverage model).
Benefits
- Remote work options
- Professional development opportunities
