We are looking for a seasoned Senior Security Operations Analyst to join our Security team and take ownership of our most complex security challenges – from leading major incident response and proactive threat hunting to detection engineering and digital forensics. As a senior member of the team, you will also play a key role in mentoring Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts, helping to build a stronger and more resilient security function.

Main Responsibilities:

• Major Incident Response: Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams during severe security breaches, ransomware attacks, or insider threat incidents, ensuring swift containment and effective resolution

• Digital Forensics & Malware Analysis: Conduct in-depth forensic investigations to reconstruct multi-stage intrusions and analyze malicious code, providing actionable insights to prevent future incidents.
• Mentorship: Provide ongoing guidance, coaching, and training to Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development within the security team.

What Do We Expect?

• Technical Domains: Deep architectural understanding of network protocols, operating system internals (Windows/Linux), cloud ecosystem components, and distributed endpoint telemetry.
• Tooling Expertise: Proven proficiency navigating and exploiting advanced SIEMs like Microsoft Sentinel, enterprise EDR/XDR suites like MS Defender, SOAR platforms, and deep-dive packet analysis tools like Wireshark.
• Soft Skills: Demonstrated ability to coordinate, command, and guide both technical engineering cells and business units under extreme operational pressure. Strong strategic thinking and clear executive communication.

Nice to have (big advantage):

• Advanced Incident Capabilities: Proven background executing live disk/memory forensics and parsing obfuscated malicious binaries via static and dynamic analysis.
• Elite Certifications: Advanced industry certifications such as GIAC (GCFA, GCIH), CISSP, or equivalent high-tier defensive engineering credentials.

Why Join Us?
