About the Role

Join a Company that Empowers You to Build Your Future

Responsibilities

• Lead investigations of complex, high severity security incidents from detection through containment, remediation, and recovery, coordinating across internal teams and the MDR partner.
• Act as the primary escalation point for Tier 3 alerts and incidents and perform root cause analysis with actionable remediation plans.
• Serve as the primary liaison to the MDR provider: validate and triage MDR alerts, ensure alignment on response protocols and escalation procedures, and provide tuning recommendations to improve detection fidelity.
• Develop and maintain incident response playbooks, runbooks, and workflows.
• Analyze threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and translate findings into improved defenses and detection content.
• Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts across endpoint, identity, network, and cloud telemetry, leveraging threat intelligence and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to surface threats that evade automated detection.
• Operationalize hunt findings into durable detection logic and response procedures.
• Identify recurring, manual, or manual heavy SOC processes and design automation to reduce analyst effort and accelerate response.
• Build, test, and maintain automated playbooks and response workflows in a SOAR platform (e.g., Torq, Microsoft Sentinel Automation Rules and Logic Apps) for enrichment, triage, containment, and case management.
• Develop, tune, and operationalize detection and correlation rules through automated validation and deployment.
• Measure the impact of automation against SOC performance metrics (MTTD, MTTR, alert volume, false-positive rate) and iterate based on results.
• Partner with Detection Engineering and Security Engineering to integrate tooling, close telemetry gaps, and standardize repeatable response.
• Mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts, lead knowledge-sharing, and uplevel team investigative tradecraft and tooling proficiency.
• Document incident timelines, findings, and lessons learned.
• Track, analyze, and drive improvement of core SOC performance metrics (MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false-positive rate), and use them to prioritize tuning and automation efforts.
• Generate executive-level and technical reports on SOC performance and incidents, and support compliance and audit efforts through accurate record-keeping and evidence handling.

Requirements

• Minimum 5-7 years of experience in a cybersecurity operations role, with at least 3 years in a Tier 2/Tier 3 SOC or escalation capacity.
• CompTIA Security+ or equivalent.
• Proven experience leading incident response triage, investigation, and remediation, including working directly with MDR partners.
• In-depth knowledge of security tools and technologies, including SIEM/SOAR platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel), endpoint detection and response solutions (e.g., Microsoft Defender XDR, Palo Alto Cortex XDR), and ticketing systems (e.g., ServiceNow).
• Demonstrated ability to author and tune detection content (e.g., KQL in Sentinel/Defender) and operationalize it into production.
• Experience analyzing cloud security telemetry (e.g., Azure/Entra sign-in logs, AWS CloudTrail).
• Hands-on experience building or maintaining automated playbooks and response workflows in a SOAR platform.
• Strong understanding of network security concepts, operating systems, and malware analysis techniques.
• Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and threat intelligence platforms.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work under pressure and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred

• Certifications such as CISSP, GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, CySA+, eJPT/PJPT, CEH, SC-200.
• Scripting and automation skills (Python, PowerShell) for tooling, enrichment, and analysis.
• Experience supporting an EDR platform migration (e.g., Cortex XDR to Microsoft Defender XDR).
• Experience with or strong interest in AI-assisted triage and agentic SOC tooling to augment analyst workflows.
• Broader cloud security experience across AWS, Azure, and OCI.
• Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, Proofpoint, and Palo Alto Cortex XDR.
