SecOps & IR

Security Operations Analyst (L1/L2)

The full posting

We are inviting you, a highly motivated and results-oriented Security Operations Analyst to join our team on a full-time basis.

Our team has unique expertise in research, analysis, and product development. By relying on technical insights and a data-driven approach, we create disruptive future-defining innovations of the fin-tech industry that remain our basis for success.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor prioritized security alert queues and validate whether alerts indicate genuine security risks.
  • Perform initial and in-depth investigations of security alerts and suspected incidents across endpoint, identity, authentication, network, cloud, and other relevant environments.
  • Enrich investigations by correlating endpoint, identity, authentication, network, service, asset, user, timeline, and business context from multiple data sources.
  • Classify security events, assess severity and potential impact, identify affected users and assets, and determine the scope of suspicious activity.
  • Develop investigation timelines, collect relevant evidence, identify potential attack techniques, and document findings and conclusions in the case-management system.
  • Close false positives and benign activity with appropriate justification, and execute approved low-risk response actions through established runbooks.
  • Escalate complex or high-impact incidents, privileged-account compromises, and production-impacting cases to the appropriate teams or Incident Response.
  • Conduct proactive threat hunting and investigate suspicious activity that may not have triggered existing security detections.
  • Identify recurring false positives, detection gaps, and opportunities to improve alert quality, investigation procedures, and operational efficiency.
  • Maintain clear investigation records, handover notes, and contribute to the continuous improvement of SOC processes and runbooks.

Requirements

  • At least 1+ year of hands-on experience in security operations, including security alert triage and incident investigation, with practical exposure to SIEM, EDR/XDR, and case-management platforms.
  • Ability to build searches and queries, filter security events, and correlate related activity across multiple data sources using SIEM query languages such as KQL, EQL, ES|QL, or SPL.
  • Understanding of common endpoint, identity, authentication, network, DNS, HTTP, cloud, and service audit telemetry.
  • Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, authentication mechanisms, access control, and common attack techniques.
  • Ability to distinguish true positives, false positives, and benign activity; assess preliminary severity; identify affected users and assets; and determine when further investigation or escalation is required.
  • Understanding of common attack patterns, including phishing, credential abuse, malware execution, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and suspicious account activity.
  • Basic knowledge of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), threat intelligence, reputation sources, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Ability to conduct structured investigations, build concise incident timelines, correlate evidence, and document investigation findings, actions, conclusions, and escalation notes.
  • Understanding of incident response fundamentals, including containment, eradication, and recovery, as well as the importance of following established response procedures.
  • Good analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly.

Will be a plus

  • Simple Python or PowerShell scripts for investigation and enrichment
  • Exposure to cloud, email-security, or SaaS audit logs and common phishing-investigation workflows
  • Practical cybersecurity labs or an entry-level certification such as Security+ or CySA+
  • Experience with MacOS

We offer

  • 20 paid vacation days per year
  • 10 paid sick leave days per year
  • Public holidays as per the company's approved Public holiday list
  • Medical budget
  • Opportunity to work remotely
  • Professional education budget

Other security roles worth a look

A few links on CyberJobs.cc are referral links: when one leads to a hire, a sign-up or a purchase (a lab, a course or a tool marked Partner), the company behind it may pay CyberJobs.cc a fee. You pay nothing extra, and it never changes the salary an employer offers you or which roles the board lists. Roles from partners who pay us a fee rank a little higher in this list.

Let security teams come to you

Security teams sometimes ask us directly for someone with a given specialty, clearance or certification. Join the candidate pool once and we put you forward when a brief matches, and only after you say yes. No cost to you.
