You’ll be joining a modern Security Operations (SecOps) team, where the focus is on deep-dive security investigations and active incident response.

What you’ll bring:

• A team player: We’re looking for someone who collaborates well but is also perfectly comfortable working independently when the situation calls for it.
• Flexibility: Our SOC team runs 24/7, so you’ll need to be open to a shift rotation (including weekends or staggered hours).
• Solid foundations: You deeply understand networking, operating systems, and log analysis.
• A keen eye: You care about quality and have the critical thinking skills to spot those tiny anomalies that others might miss.
• Great at juggling: You can comfortably handle and prioritize multiple moving parts, keeping your cool when things get busy.

Nice-to-haves :
