  • Define and oversee configuration standards for SIEM, SOAR, and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) platforms
  • Support and lead SOC readiness reviews, validation exercises, and operational assessments to ensure effectiveness of processes and tooling
  • Develop and execute transition plans from implementation to steady-state SOC operations, ensuring operational continuity
  • Collaborate with Security Engineers, Threat Detection teams, and Compliance stakeholders to align SOC processes with enterprise security requirements
  • Ensure all SOC processes and tooling configurations align with applicable security frameworks and operational standards

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 6–9+ years of experience in Security Operations, SOC Engineering, or Security Administration, with demonstrated leadership responsibilities
  • Experience designing and implementing SOC processes, workflows, and operational models
  • Hands-on knowledge of SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms, including configuration and operational standards
  • Experience defining alert triage, incident investigation, and response procedures
  • Familiarity with security operations frameworks and best practices in detection and response
  • Experience supporting SOC stand-up, transformation, or maturity initiatives is highly desirable
  • Strong documentation and process development skills, with the ability to create structured operational content
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen and eligible to support federal contracting environments
