About the role
We are inviting you, a highly motivated and results-oriented Security Operations Analyst to join our team on a full-time basis.
Our team has unique expertise in research, analysis, and product development. By relying on technical insights and a data-driven approach, we create disruptive future-defining innovations of the fin-tech industry that remain our basis for success.
Responsibilities
- Monitor prioritized alert queues and validate whether alerts indicate real risk
- Enrich cases and correlate relevant endpoint, identity, authentication, network, service, asset, user, timeline, and business context
- Perform initial investigations, classify alerts, assess preliminary severity and scope, and document the evidence and reasoning in the case-management system
- Close false positives and execute approved low-risk actions only through defined runbooks
- Escalate suspected incidents, privileged-account issues, and high-impact or production-impact cases to L2, the manager, or Incident Response
- Maintain clear handover notes and support improvements to case quality and runbooks
Requirements
- 1+ year of commercial hands-on experience in security alert triage, utilizing at least one SIEM platform, with working knowledge of EDR/XDR and case-management workflows.
- Ability to build basic searches or queries, filter security events, and correlate related activity across more than one data source (Experience with basic SIEM query languages such as KQL, EQL)
- Ability to interpret common endpoint, identity, authentication, network, DNS, HTTP, and service or cloud audit telemetry at an initial-investigation level
- Working fundamentals of Windows and Linux, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, authentication, access control, and common attack patterns such as phishing, credential abuse, malware execution, and suspicious account activity
- Ability to distinguish true positives, false positives, and benign activity; assign a preliminary severity; identify affected users or assets; and recognize when scope or impact is uncertain
- Basic use of indicators of compromise, reputation sources, and threat-intelligence context, with awareness of the MITRE ATT&CK framework
- Ability to create a concise investigation timeline and document evidence, actions, conclusions, and handover or escalation notes in a case-management system
- Ability to follow approved runbooks, perform only authorized low-risk actions, recognize the limits of L1 authority, and escalate suspected incidents correctly
Will be a plus
- Simple Python or PowerShell scripts for investigation and enrichment
- Exposure to cloud, email-security, or SaaS audit logs and common phishing-investigation workflows
