Job Description

As a SOC Analyst (Level 2), you are the escalation point for complex investigations and active incidents. You’ll take ownership of high-severity alerts, lead technical triage through containment, and coordinate with Incident Response, Cloud/Platform, Identity, and Engineering teams. You’ll also improve SOC quality by tuning detections, refining playbooks, mentoring Level 1 analysts, and driving post-incident learnings into better controls.

Job Responsibility

  • Advanced detection and investigation
  • Incident response and containment
  • Threat intelligence and adversary tradecraft
  • Detection engineering and SOC improvement
  • Operational leadership

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)

Nice to have

  • Detection engineering experience: correlation rules, Sigma/KQL/SPL, alert pipelines, SOAR automation
  • DFIR fundamentals: triage acquisition, volatile vs. non-volatile evidence, endpoint artifact analysis
  • Container/Kubernetes logging and runtime security exposure
  • Practical scripting (Python/Bash) for analysis and automation
  • Digital-asset ecosystem exposure and 24/7 trading operations familiarity
  • Certifications (optional): GCIH, GCIA, GCED, SC-200, AWS Security Specialty, or equivalent
