• Collaborate with IT, application owners, and other internal stakeholders during incidents to ensure rapid response and recovery.
• Conduct root cause analysis, document findings, and follow up on mitigation and remediation actions.
• Monitor and assess SOC service quality, detection effectiveness, and escalate gaps or performance issues with the MSSP.
• Organize and lead post-incident reviews, producing actionable insights and continuous improvement recommendations.
• Stay up to date with the threat landscape, TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and emerging risks to enhance detection logic.
• Generate periodic incident metrics and reports for leadership, highlighting trends, gaps, and recommendations.

The fuel needed to go further with us:

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–5+ years in security operations, incident response, or SOC roles, with demonstrable hands-on experience.
• Strong understanding and practical experience with XDR platforms (e.g., Microsoft Defender, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, etc.).
• Proficiency with SIEM platforms, endpoint/EDR tools, network traffic analysis, and log correlation.
• Experience with detection frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, and threat modeling techniques.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a high level of attention to detail.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, OSCP, CISSP) are preferred.
