  • Escalate complex, high-impact, evidence-sensitive, or ambiguous incidents to SOC Analyst 3, SOC leadership, Forensics, Threat Hunter, Threat Intelligence Analyst, or other specialized roles as appropriate.
  • Maintain accurate incident status, action tracking, and communications during investigation and response activities.

Detection, Tuning & Process Improvement Input
  • Analyze recurring alerts, false positives, attack patterns, threat intelligence, vulnerabilities, and emerging tactics to identify opportunities to improve detection and response.
  • Recommend updates to correlation rules, alert logic, dashboards, use cases, response playbooks, and triage procedures based on investigation outcomes.
  • Operationalize threat intelligence in triage and investigation workflows by applying relevant indicators, adversary behaviors, vulnerabilities, and contextual reporting.
  • Provide operational requirements and validation feedback to SOC Analyst 3, SOC Threat Hunter, Senior Splunk Engineer, Splunk Architect/Lead, Security Engineer, and SOC Technical Writer as appropriate.

Reporting & Documentation
  • Document investigation activities, evidence, decisions, response actions, and outcomes clearly and accurately.
  • Prepare incident summaries, ticket updates, timelines, shift handoff notes, and supporting information for after-action documentation.
  • Communicate technical findings in clear operational, business, and risk language for SOC leadership and affected stakeholders.
  • Provide evidence summaries and analysis notes that can be used by Forensics or specialized teams when deeper analysis is required.

Mentorship & Continuous Improvement
  • Provide escalation guidance, quality feedback, and informal mentoring to SOC Analyst 1 personnel.
  • Participate in lessons-learned activities, tabletop exercises, detection reviews, and SOC process improvement efforts.
  • Stay current with evolving cyber threats, vulnerabilities, detection techniques, and security operations best practices.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of SOC workflows, investigation checklists, documentation practices, and escalation procedures.

  • U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DOE "L" clearance after start.
  • 3-5 years of experience in SOC operations, incident response, security monitoring, threat monitoring, or related technical cybersecurity roles.
  • Experience triaging escalated alerts and investigating security events using SIEM, EDR, ticketing, case management, and log analysis tools.
  • Intermediate knowledge of Windows, Linux, networking, cloud, identity, endpoint, and application security concepts.
  • Working knowledge of common attack techniques, incident response lifecycle activities, escalation procedures, playbooks, and evidence-handling practices.
  • Ability to correlate evidence across multiple tools, develop incident timelines, and determine recommended response actions.
  • Strong analytical, written documentation, communication, and collaboration skills, including the ability to guide SOC Analyst 1 personnel.
