As a Sr. Security Analyst, you will join the security team to protect critical information from unauthorized changes, theft, and sophisticated threats targeting mission success. You will serve as a frontline responder within the Security Operations Center, where you are responsible for identifying, triaging, and remediating detections while investigating incidents from initial detection through root cause analysis. Your daily work involves collaborating with engineering teams to improve systems, building detection capabilities against advanced attacker tactics, and enhancing endpoint and network visibility. The role requires expertise in operating system internals for Linux, Windows, and macOS, as well as experience with network and host-based collection tools.

  • Investigate security incidents from initial detection through root cause analysis.
  • Collect evidence and collaborate with engineering teams to proactively secure systems against future attacks.
  • Develop detection capabilities targeting sophisticated attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures.
  • Enhance endpoint and network visibility to protect company people, missions, and assets.
  • Update and improve detection and response playbooks for the security environment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, IT, or another STEM discipline (or 7+ years of relevant experience).
  • 5+ years of information security, networking, and/or systems engineering experience.
  • Experience with operating system internals and auditing for Linux, Windows, or macOS platforms.
  • Experience with network and host-based collection tools.
  • Deep understanding of threat actor TTPs, incident response processes, and cloud infrastructure (preferred).
  • Experience with SIEMs, scripting for automation, reverse engineering, and forensics (preferred).
  • Security community contributions such as blog posts, conference talks, or tool development (preferred).
