Are you a seasoned security operations professional ready to take ownership of mission-critical security initiatives? We're seeking an experienced SOC Analyst Level 3 to join a dynamic team dedicated to defending client environments from sophisticated cyber threats. As a key leader in the SOC, you'll spearhead complex investigations, craft proactive threat hunts, and ensure the highest standards of case quality and client service. This role offers a unique opportunity to leverage your expertise across diverse security domains while mentoring junior analysts and shaping incident response strategies.

What You Will Do:

• Lead and drive complex, escalated investigations, ensuring swift containment and remediation of threats.
• Analyze cyber incidents to determine root cause, scope, and impact, producing detailed incident reports for clients.
• Manage client communication during active incidents through calls, emails, and video interactions, providing expert guidance and updates.
• Design and execute targeted threat hunts across varied environments, delivering comprehensive reports to inform client security posture.
• Oversee case quality reviews, identify systemic issues, and coordinate improvements across the analyst team.
• Maintain and update alert playbook documentation, flag detection gaps for engineering teams, and ensure alignment with customer-specific procedures.
• Review system and security data regularly to identify vulnerabilities, recommend remediation, and enhance detection coverage.
• Lead AI case reviews, analyze security metrics, and generate insightful weekly and monthly reports.
• Serve as the senior point of contact during shifts, providing guidance and decision-making support for the team.
• Conduct structured handoffs at shift boundaries to ensure continuity and clarity.

Required Skills:

• 3 to 5+ years of SOC or security operations experience, with proven leadership in incident investigations.
• Deep expertise in at least one core area: malware analysis, cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP), identity and access management (Entra ID, Okta), or network forensics.
• Strong ability to lead investigations from detection to resolution, including root cause analysis and client communication.
• Hands-on experience designing and executing threat hunts, not just executing predefined ones.
• Proficiency in writing complex queries using KQL, EQL, or similar languages.
• Excellent incident report writing skills that set industry standards.
• Experience communicating with clients during high-pressure security incidents.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Certification in relevant security disciplines (e.g., CISSP, GIAC, CEH).
• Familiarity with SIEM and EDR tools.
• Knowledge of scripting or automation to improve detection and investigation processes.
• Experience with security frameworks and compliance standards.
• Ability to analyze security metrics and contribute to strategic improvement initiatives.

Preferred Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or related field.
• 3+ years in a SOC environment with hands-on incident response and threat hunting experience.
• Demonstrated leadership in managing complex security investigations and mentoring team members.

Other Requirements:

• Availability to provide phone coverage and support during escalated incidents on designated shifts.
• Ability to operate independently, take initiative, and surface problems proactively.
• Willingness to participate in ongoing training and certification to stay current with evolving threats.
