Job Overview

As a SOC Analyst II, you’ll be on the front line of cybersecurity — monitoring, investigating, and responding to real-world threats across a distributed manufacturing environment spanning both traditional IT and OT/ICS networks. You’ll be a hands-on contributor within the Security Operations Center, working a high-volume alert queue, triaging suspicious activity, and driving incidents toward resolution with speed and precision.

Responsibilities

• Monitor, triage, and document security events across endpoint, network, cloud, and OT/ICS telemetry in a 24x7 operational environment.
• Operate, optimize, and tune detection rules, correlating alerts across multiple platforms to maintain unified visibility and platform health.
• Build, maintain, and improve automation and orchestration workflows that streamline alert triage, response actions, and cross-tool integrations to reduce analyst toil and improve response time.
• Develop and tune MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection use cases, translating detection gaps into new logic, automation, or process improvements.
• Support incident response on escalated events, including triage, remediation, root cause analysis, and post-incident documentation.
• Conduct threat hunting across event data alongside the security engineering and advanced threats teams to surface activity missed by standard monitoring.
• Adhere to SLAs, metrics, and ticket-handling obligations while contributing to runbook, playbook, and procedure development.
• Support HR- and Legal-driven security actions, including emergency account terminations and evidence preservation for legal holds, executed with strict chain-of-custody discipline and discretion.

Requirements

• Must be a US Citizen for this position
• 3+ years of information security monitoring, response, or related experience
• Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR/XDR, and threat intelligence platforms, including alert management and detection tuning
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining production automation or SOAR workflows
• Proficiency in Python and/or Bash scripting in a security context
• Working knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and its practical application to detection and response

Core Competencies

• Communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adapting messaging to the audience
• Applies an analytical, problem-solving mindset, approaching investigations with curiosity and rigor
• Stays organized and efficient while managing multiple priorities under pressure
• Exercises sound judgment and makes clear decisions in complex, fast-moving situations
• Maintains a high degree of integrity and discretion when handling sensitive matters

Preferences

• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or OT/ICS environment
• Proficiency with KQL for detection and investigation
• Relevant certifications such as SANS GCIH, GCIA, or GDAT (CISSP a plus); actively pursuing a relevant certification is acceptable in lieu of an existing credential
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, PCI, SOX, or HIPAA
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information assurance, cybersecurity, MIS, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
