We bring together deep industry expertise, cutting-edge technology, and bold thinking to deliver outcomes that matter.
 

You'll be on the front line of 24x7 SOC operations protecting enterprise clients against active threats.

  • Monitor and analyze security alerts from SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and other security tools to identify potential threats across client environments

  • Perform timely triage, validation, and investigation of alerts in line with SLA requirements and prioritization frameworks (P1–P4)

  • Execute containment, response, and remediation actions using established SOC runbooks

  • Manage incidents through the full case lifecycle — accurate documentation, status updates, and closure in the case management system

  • Monitor SOC communication channels and ensure timely response to inquiries, escalations, and stakeholder coordination

  • Escalate high-severity and complex incidents in line with SLAs, including immediate notification for potential P1/P2 cases

  • Conduct effective shift handovers, ensuring active and critical cases are transferred with full context

  • Identify and report operational gaps, anomalies, or delays within the same shift to relevant leads

  • Contribute to continuous improvement by surfacing gaps in detection, logging, automation, and case handling processes

What You'll Need

  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals — threat types, attack vectors, the CIA triad, and incident response principles

  • Working knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux/Unix) and networking concepts (TCP/IP, OSI model, DNS, HTTP/S)

  • Hands-on experience or familiarity with SIEM/SOAR platforms, endpoint protection, firewalls, and security monitoring tools

  • Ability to analyze logs, network traffic, and endpoint telemetry to identify malicious activity

  • Disciplined and process-oriented — able to work effectively in a shift-based, SLA-driven environment

  • Clear communicator with strong documentation habits and the ability to coordinate across internal and external stakeholders

  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework for threat identification and mapping
