We are seeking an Information Security Analyst to support enterprise threat investigations, vulnerability remediation coordination, and security control improvements across a large distributed environment. This role combines incident response support, exception handling, documentation ownership, and cross‑team collaboration with infrastructure and development groups.

This is not a queue‑based SOC monitoring role and not a compliance‑only position. It is a hands‑on enterprise security operations role suited for someone with broad exposure across multiple security domains who can operate independently and adapt in environments where documentation may still be evolving.

• Investigate phishing activity, malware alerts, authentication anomalies, and IDS/IPS events
• Correlate activity across SIEM, endpoint, identity, and network telemetry sources
• Respond to security alerts and coordinate escalation with infrastructure and development teams
• Evaluate software allow/deny requests based on security risk and operational impact
• Review website filtering requests and make practical risk‑informed access decisions
• Support vulnerability tracking and remediation coordination across infrastructure and Azure environments
• Recommend improvements that strengthen enterprise security controls and reduce exposure
• Build working relationships with server teams, development teams, and global security contacts
• Contribute to SOP development and improve investigation documentation where processes are still maturing
• Support enterprise security posture initiatives aligned with long‑term roadmap priorities

• 3+ years of hands‑on information security experience across multiple security disciplines
• 5+ years of broader IT, infrastructure, or security operations experience
• Experience investigating alerts across SIEM, endpoint, identity, or network telemetry platforms
• Experience working in large enterprise or distributed environments
• Ability to collaborate effectively across infrastructure, development, and security teams
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce SOPs and investigation documentation
• Comfort operating in environments where processes are evolving rather than fully predefined
• Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP)
• Working knowledge of Windows server and desktop environments
• Experience supporting vulnerability remediation programs

• Exposure to SIEM platforms such as Splunk, QRadar, Securonix, Elastic, or similar
• Experience with EDR/XDR platforms such as Crowd Strike, Sentinel One, Sophos XDR, or Carbon Black
• Familiarity with identity platforms such as Active Directory, Okta, or SSO environments
• Azure security exposure
• IDS/IPS monitoring experience
  
  Exposure to NIST, ISO 27001, or CIS frameworks
• Linux familiarity
• Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, Security+, or similar

• Independently investigate and respond to security alerts
• Build working relationships with infrastructure, development, and enterprise security teams
• Evaluate software and website filtering requests using sound risk judgment
• Contribute to vulnerability remediation tracking workflows
  
  Improve documentation and help strengthen investigation procedures
• Demonstrate flexibility across multiple tools and security domains

• Has broad security exposure rather than a narrow SOC‑only or audit‑only background
• Is comfortable working across teams in a large enterprise environment
• Communicates clearly in a fully remote setting
• Can write procedures when documentation is incomplete
• Adapts quickly to changing priorities
• Values long‑term fit and growth within a security program
