We are seeking a Principal SOC Operations Lead to join our Center of Excellence in Bengaluru. This is a senior operational role focused on analyst tradecraft, intelligence rigor, and consistent decision-making within a high-velocity SOC environment. As detection methods, data volume, and automation evolve, this role ensures that analyst reasoning, intelligence workflows, and escalation decisions remain structured, defensible, and aligned with best practices. The position works in close partnership with India-based leadership and global stakeholders including Product Management, Customer Success, Support, and Intelligence Services, serving as a senior practitioner who strengthens how intelligence is assessed, reasoned about, and acted upon at scale. This role is not about throughput. It is about how analysts think, how decisions are formed, and how tradecraft evolves without degradation as tooling and AI capabilities expand.

Partner with training and documentation teams to reinforce analytical tradecraft, improve how intelligence reasoning is taught and evaluated
Collect and analyze operational and analytical data to distinguish skill gaps vs system limitations, noise vs meaningful signal
Develop clear, evidence-based narratives that inform leadership, product, and engineering decisions
Partner with engineering and product teams to identify opportunities for ML/AI implementation
Serve as a senior operational reference during complex or ambiguous escalation scenarios
Monitor the operational ticketing and case-management systems to identify critical escalations, recurring themes, or emerging risks, and to ensure that support teams are equipped with clear guidance, documentation, and escalation paths to address customer and internal requests effectively
Maintain regular working-hour overlap with global stakeholders
flexibility outside standard hours may be required during periods of urgency
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience

Experience working in scaled, high-volume SOC environments with diverse analyst populations
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, product, and training teams across time zones

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in explaining analytical reasoning
Strong data literacy with the ability to interpret analytical and operational metrics meaningfully
