The successful candidate will be responsible for the full lifecycle of security incidents, from initial triage to recovery. Beyond reactive response, this role involves tuning SIEM correlation rules and developing SOAR workflows to increase operational efficiency.
What Youll Be Doing
Incident Management: Execute the IR lifecycle (Triage, Containment, Eradication, Recovery) for complex security events.
Technical Investigation: Perform root cause analysis and forensic examination across Windows, Mac, and Linux environments.
Detection & Tuning: Collaborate with the IR team to create, test, and tune SIEM rules and dashboards to reduce false positives and improve visibility.
Automation Engineering: Build and refine SOAR playbooks and automated response actions to streamline repetitive investigation tasks.
Cloud Security: Monitor and mitigate cloud-native threats across Azure, AWS, and GCP environments.
Requirements
Experience as a SecOps/IR Analyst or Engineer with a heavy focus on active investigation.
Deep understanding of the Incident Response lifecycle (Triage, Containment, Eradication, Recovery).
Hands-on experience handling and managing security alerts, performing root cause analysis, and leading investigations.
Experience working across cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP) to identify and mitigate cloud-native threats.
Strong knowledge of operating systems (Mac, Windows, Linux) and their respective artifacts.
Proficiency with Splunk or other SIEM platforms for log analysis and threat hunting.
Experience with XSOAR or other security automation tools from an end-user/analyst perspective.
Strong knowledge of security technologies, including EDR, Mail Relay, Vulnerability Scanning, Secure Access, and MDM.
Scripting experience with Python or Bash to assist in data parsing and investigation tasks.
Nice to Have
Detection Engineering: Ability to build and improve SIEM rules, correlations, and dashboards.
Automation Development: Experience developing new SOAR workflows, automated actions, and response playbooks.
Technical Literacy: Familiarity with REST APIs and Regex for advanced querying and tool integration.
Container Security: Familiarity and experience with K8S (Kubernetes).
Consultative Skills: Ability to guide best practices in Cloud Security and SIEM operations.
