YOUR PROFILE:

  • 5+ years of experience in a SOC, with a strong focus on incident response and threat hunting.
  • Proven experience investigating and mitigating threats targeting web applications and cloud infrastructure (specifically AWS).
  • Deep experience conducting analysis of data from a diverse range of data sources using a SIEM.
  • Demonstrated expertise in performing forensic investigations and root cause analyses for complex incidents.
  • Experience with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, and network traffic analysis.
  • Strong understanding of attack frameworks (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK) and the ability to apply them to threat hunting and incident response.
  • Experience creating detection rules, playbooks, and workflows to improve SOC detection and response efficiency.

Desired Experience:

  • Applying the results of previous incidents and threat hunting activities to creating new detection use cases.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS security services, such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, and IAM configurations.
  • Familiarity with securing web applications, including common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10) and mitigation techniques.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like PowerShell and Python.
  • Experience working within agile or continuous improvement environments.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to handle high-pressure situations and manage complex security incidents from start to finish.
  • Effective communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise documentation and interact effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Certifications in relevant fields, such as GCIH, GIAC, GCFA, AWS Certificated Security, CISSP, or equivalent.
