SOC Analyst
BugSec SOC Analyst
About the Role
You will be at the center of our detection and response operations - investigating real threats across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud environments.
This is a tierless role - you own your cases end-to-end, from first alert through containment and documentation, across multiple client environments simultaneously.
What You'll Do
- Investigate alerts across multiple EDR platforms (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint).
- Conduct end-to-end investigations correlating data across firewall, DC, email security, EDR, and cloud audit logs.
- Investigate threats across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) - including identity abuse, misconfigurations, and cloud-native attack techniques.
- Monitor and triage alerts; determine scope, severity, and escalation path.
- Classify, document, and track cases through their full lifecycle using ticketing and case management systems.
- Contribute to detection rule tuning across SIEM and EDR platforms to reduce false positives and close coverage gaps.
- Maintain shift handover documentation and contribute to IR runbooks and playbooks.
- Share knowledge through peer walkthroughs, ticket reviews, and internal sessions that raise the team's level.
What You'll Bring
- Solid grasp of network protocols, attack patterns, and core security controls (firewall, IDS/IPS, proxy, WAF).
- Hands-on familiarity with at least one EDR platform and SIEM environment.
- Understanding of Windows/Linux internals relevant to attacker techniques (persistence, lateral movement, credential access).
- Foundational knowledge of cloud environments - IAM, logging, and common attack surfaces.
- Fluent written and spoken English.
- Availability for 9-hour rotating shifts, including nights and weekends (Sun–Sat).
- A drive to keep learning - you are always in a cycle of improving your skills, deepening your knowledge, and raising your own bar.
- Self-motivated and independent - you take ownership, dig deep into every investigation, and push yourself to find the full answer.
