• Prepare clear and concise incident documentation and summaries for operational tracking and reporting
• Participate in After Action Reviews (AARs) and contribute to response and process improvements
• Follow and maintain standard operating procedures, playbooks, and escalation paths
• Support 24x7 operations, including nights, weekends, or on-call rotations as required

Position Expectations

• Operate effectively in a high-volume incident handling environment
• Demonstrate independent ownership of incident lifecycle from intake through closure
• Maintain consistent SLA adherence, documentation quality, and case accuracy
• Apply analytical judgment to distinguish between benign, false positive, and true positive activity
• Perform enrichment and basic correlation without direct supervision
• Recognize and escalate incidents that exceed role scope or complexity

Basic Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in cybersecurity, Security Operations Center (SOC), or incident response
• Experience monitoring and responding to security alerts in a production environment
• Familiarity with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and related security tools
