Responsibilities

  • Lead end‑to‑end investigation, containment, and remediation of high‑severity and complex security incidents, acting as the highest technical escalation point within the SOC.

  • Own real‑time incident triage governance (queue health, escalation decisions, and handover quality) to ensure timely resolution and consistent execution of the agreed incident management process.

  • Apply advanced threat intelligence, threat hunting, and trend analysis to proactively identify emerging threats and strengthen detection and response capabilities.

  • Drive continuous SOC maturity through quality assurance of investigations, refinement of detection use cases, and improvement of playbooks, tooling, and response processes.

  • Set investigation standards and provide authoritative technical direction to L1/L2 analysts during incidents and escalations to improve consistency and rigor of outcomes.

  • Coach and develop SOC analysts through case reviews, technical mentoring, and knowledge sharing to strengthen team capability and reduce repeat errors.

  • Manage and deliver complex client engagements, ensuring consistent service quality, timely outcomes, and measurable value realization.

  • Engage directly with client stakeholders during escalations to communicate findings, root cause, impact, and remediation guidance in a clear and actionable manner.

  • Prepare and deliver operational, incident, and trend‑based reports and governance inputs (including KPI/SLA performance and recurring issues) for client and internal stakeholders.

Qualifications

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Cyber Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Demonstrated senior‑level experience in a Security Operations Center (SOC), detection and response, or incident response function, including acting as a technical escalation point for high‑severity incidents.

  • Strong technical understanding of cybersecurity principles, attack techniques, defensive controls, and incident response concepts.

  • Hands‑on experience applying frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, NIST, or equivalent frameworks during investigations and threat analysis.

  • Proven investigation and security analysis skills, including log analysis, correlation of diverse data sources, and investigation of endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry.

  • Practical experience with SIEM platforms, including investigation workflows and detection use cases.

  • Working knowledge of networking and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud), including common security risks and investigation considerations.

  • Experience in client‑facing incident handling and troubleshooting, including clear communication of investigation outcomes, root cause, and remediation guidance to stakeholders.

  • Security‑related certifications are a plus.
