We are looking for candidates with proven experience in a hands-on SOC Analyst role within an enterprise environment. You should have a strong understanding of security operations, threat detection, and incident response workflows. Strong expertise in at least two of the following areas is essential:
- Microsoft Security Stack, including triaging and managing alerts from the Microsoft Security Centre / Microsoft Defender portal
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) with advanced operational expertise in investigations, threat hunting, and response
- Trellix (ePO) with hands-on experience in configuration, policy management, agent deployment, and alert handling
- SentinelOne, focusing on tuning, alert triage, threat investigation, and incident response
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative SOC team.
Responsibilities:
- Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts across multiple platforms, including Microsoft and endpoint security tools
- Conduct in-depth investigations of security events, escalating and containing incidents as required
- Optimize and tune detection rules, policies, and alerting mechanisms to improve SOC efficiency
- Collaborate with internal teams to support security operations, threat analysis, and incident recovery
- Produce clear incident documentation, reports, and recommendations for continuous improvement
- Contribute to maintaining and enhancing SOC processes, runbooks, and operational workflows
While we require strong technical expertise, we also appreciate desirable skills such as experience with incident documentation and reporting, familiarity with security frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, ISO 27001), and the ability to adapt quickly to new tools, threats, and operational priorities. Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, CySA+, Microsoft SC-series, GIAC) are also a plus.
We look forward to welcoming passionate SOC Analysts who are ready to make an impact in our security operations team.
