** Position Summary
** PIMCO's Cybersecurity organization is seeking an entry-level Graduate Analyst to support the Cyber Incident Response Team and Security Operations Center (SOC) in Austin, Texas. This role is designed to build a strong foundation in security operations, giving the analyst hands-on exposure to threat detection, incident response, and enterprise security tooling.  The Operations team gives analysts access to powerful AI models purpose-built for cyber work — tools that accelerate investigation, surface relevant context, and compress the learning curve for new analysts.

Candidates should expect to use AI tooling from day one as a core part of how the team investigates, learns, and responds, not as an optional add-on.

The ideal candidate is curious, detail-oriented, and eager to build technical depth across cybersecurity platforms, policies, and procedures. They will learn to assess evidence, triage alerts, and escalate significant events to Engineers and Incident Responders, while progressively taking on greater ownership of the incident lifecycle.  Beyond incident response, the analyst will rotate through a variety of SOC workflows — event monitoring, correlation, and behavioral analysis — gaining broad exposure that supports growth into more senior analyst or engineering roles.  

##
** Key Responsibilities*
* ** Incident Response & Threat Detection*
* * Respond to Cyber incidents with increasing independence, applying documented playbooks and escalation procedures.
* Investigate and triage security alerts, correlating data across multiple tools to determine scope and severity.
* Use AI-assisted investigation tools to accelerate triage, enrich context, and identify patterns across incidents.
* Escalate significant or ambiguous events to senior Engineers and Incident Responders with clear, well-documented findings.  
** AI-Accelerated…
