  • You will monitor, analyze, investigate, and respond to threats across hybrid cloud and on-prem environments.
  • This role is ideal for analysts with a strong investigative mindset, technical depth, and a passion for continuous learning.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Perform advanced EDR analysis, including alert triage, threat detection, behavioral rule tuning, IOC investigation, and endpoint telemetry enrichment.
  • Support EDR platform administration by managing agent health and deployment, maintaining integration with SIEM and other telemetry pipelines, coordinating policy updates, and partnering with SysAdmins to troubleshoot endpoint and infrastructure-level issues affecting EDR visibility.
  • Conduct digital forensics during incident response by acquiring, preserving, and analyzing endpoint artifacts (e.g., memory, disk, registry, logs); assist with root cause analysis and ensure forensic evidence in accordance with legal and procedural requirements.
  • Provide engineering-focused support on SOC architecture improvements to increase visibility, data fidelity, and detection capabilities across hybrid environments.

  • Conduct initial incident response and assist with investigations into malware, phishing, lateral movement, privilege misuse, and data exfiltration.
  • Apply threat intelligence to enrich alerts and uncover TTPs using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Document investigative steps and evidence in the case management system and escalate incidents per SOPs.
  • Participate in threat hunting missions based on hypotheses, intel feeds, and environmental knowledge.
  • Collaborate with engineering, system administrators, and cyber stakeholders to contain and remediate threats.
  • Support compliance efforts by ensuring audit trails, access logs, and investigative artifacts are collected and preserved.
  • Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and TTPs targeting cloud and hybrid infrastructures.
  • Maintain situational awareness through active monitoring of CTI sources, advisories, and vulnerability disclosures.

  • Solid understanding of Windows and Linux operating system internals and log analysis.
  • Strong grasp of network protocols, TCP/IP, and common attack vectors.
  • Familiarity with scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash) and automation workflows.
  • Experience with threat hunting, IOC analysis, or MITRE ATT&CK-based detection.
  • Understanding of identity and access management (IAM) risks in cloud environments.
  • Experience improving SOC processes, detection logic, architecture, or playbooks.
  • Ability to communicate findings clearly—verbally and in writing—to technical and non-technical audiences.
