SOC Analyst

About This Role

This role is for a SOC Analyst who will be on the front line of 24x7 SOC operations, protecting enterprise clients against active threats. It is not a passive monitoring role; you will be triaging, investigating, and responding to real incidents within a high-performing global delivery team where speed, accuracy, and judgment are crucial.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and analyze security alerts from SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and other security tools to identify potential threats across client environments
• Perform timely triage, validation, and investigation of alerts in line with SLA requirements and prioritization frameworks (P1–P4)
• Execute containment, response, and remediation actions using established SOC runbooks
• Manage incidents through the full case lifecycle — accurate documentation, status updates, and closure in the case management system
• Monitor SOC communication channels and ensure timely response to inquiries, escalations, and stakeholder coordination
• Escalate high-severity and complex incidents in line with SLAs, including immediate notification for potential P1/P2 cases
• Conduct effective shift handovers, ensuring active and critical cases are transferred with full context
• Identify and report operational gaps, anomalies, or delays within the same shift to relevant leads
• Contribute to continuous improvement by surfacing gaps in detection, logging, automation, and case handling processes

Requirements

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals — threat types, attack vectors, the CIA triad, and incident response principles
• Working knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux/Unix) and networking concepts (TCP/IP, OSI model, DNS, HTTP/S)
• Hands-on experience or familiarity with SIEM/SOAR platforms, endpoint protection, firewalls, and security monitoring tools
• Ability to analyze logs, network traffic, and endpoint telemetry to identify malicious activity
• Disciplined and process-oriented — able to work effectively in a shift-based, SLA-driven environment
• Clear communicator with strong documentation habits and the ability to coordinate across internal and external stakeholders
• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework for threat identification and mapping
• Exposure to cloud security concepts across Azure, AWS, or GCP
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, BTL1, or CEH
