Our Security Operations Center (SOC) is expanding, and we’re seeking a Senior SOC Analyst to support a weekend schedule ( Wednesday – Sunday OR Saturday – Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CT) who can quickly get up to speed and help drive operational excellence. This role is focused on eliminating inefficiencies, expanding detection coverage, and strengthening our detection, response, and threat-informed defense capabilities. It’s ideal for someone who excels in hands-on analysis and is passionate about improving how a SOC operates day-to-day.

You’ll play a key role in proactive cyber defense by collaborating across InfoSec teams, enhancing monitoring platforms, tuning controls, and conducting targeted threat hunts that reduce risk, enable better detections, and elevate our overall security posture.

What “Driving Operations” Means in This Role

This position goes well beyond alert triage. You’ll be expected to:

• Identify and resolve workflow inefficiencies that slow down response or create friction for analysts.
• Expand detection gap coverage through new use cases, improved telemetry, and refined detection logic.
• Reduce false positives and increase detection fidelity through ongoing tuning of tools and monitoring platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Threat-Informed Defense & Detection Engineering

• Use internal and external threat intelligence, risk insights, and adversary behavior research to guide proactive defensive actions.
• Develop, tune, and optimize SIEM/SOAR, EDR, NDR, and log analytics platforms to improve detection quality and reduce noise.
• Engineer, test, and deploy new detection logic, alerting mechanisms, behavioral analytics, and ATT&CK-aligned use cases.
• Identify control gaps and collaborate with platform owners to implement both preventive and detective enhancements.

SOC Operations Maturity & Operational Excellence (Efficiency, Coverage & Continuous Improvement)

• Partner with SOC leadership to refine responsibilities, skill requirements, and operational targets.
• Improve SOC operational effectiveness by spotting opportunities to streamline execution and remove process friction.
• Translate observed detection gaps into measurable improvements through new detections, automation, or enhanced processes.

Threat Hunting

• Conduct hypothesis and intelligence driven threat hunts to uncover malicious activity, suspicious behavior, or weaknesses not visible through standard monitoring.
• Document findings and collaborate with SOC leadership and partner teams on remediation and follow-up actions.
• Continuously evolve hunting methodologies, techniques, and automation in response to a changing threat landscape.

Incident Response & Security Event Handling

• Support the management and resolution of security events and incidents.
• Work independently and collaboratively to identify, assess, report, and recover from security incidents.
• Participate in after-hours response when needed.

__________________________________________

Qualifications

• Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in an operational security program.
• Bachelor’s in computer science, information security, or equivalent experience/certifications.
• The ability to balance security principles with business realities as part of a risk-managed program.
• Hands‑on experience performing responsibilities aligned to incident response, security operations, and security initiatives.
• Background in SOC operations, detection engineering, threat hunting, or cyber threat intelligence.
• Must be comfortable supporting a weekend schedule. ( Wednesday – Sunday OR Saturday – Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CT) Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to provide sponsorship for this position.

Success Looks Like

• Enhancing detection fidelity and reducing noise through thoughtful tuning and optimized detection logic.
• Closing detection gaps with ATT&CK aligned analytics and proactive threat hunts.
• Driving operational improvements by resolving inefficiencies and enabling the SOC to execute with greater speed, consistency, and confidence.
