  • Experience: 1-3+ years of hands-on experience in IT security, network administration, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Basic familiarity with enterprise SIEM/EDR and monitoring tools (e.g., Splunk, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, SolarWinds).
  • Shift Flexibility: Willingness to work evening and rotational shifts (e.g., 3:00 PM-11:00 PM), including weekends and holidays.
  • Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving, sound decision-making under pressure, and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Toolset Familiarity: Exposure to Security Onion, Juniper SSR, Cisco switching, Wireshark, ServiceNow, or Jira Service Manager.
  • Advanced Certifications: CompTIA CySA+ or Network+.
  • Prior DoD/Military Experience: Previous NOC or SOC experience in a DoD, military, or cleared environment.
  • Packet Analysis: Familiarity with packet capture and protocol analysis tools.
