Are you a vigilant problem-solver passionate about outsmarting cyber threats? We are seeking a talented Information Security Analyst to join our fully distributed security team. In this critical remote role, you will monitor, analyze, and fortify our digital assets, ensuring business continuity and data integrity for a global client base, all from the comfort of your home office.

About the Role

As a Remote Information Security Analyst, you will be the cornerstone of our security operations. You will work within our Security Operations Center (SOC) to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents in real-time. Your daily mission involves analyzing logs, managing alerts from our SIEM platform, and proactively hunting for threats that bypass automated defenses. This isn’t just about reacting to alerts; it’s about understanding attacker tactics, improving our detection rules, and contributing to a culture of security awareness. You will collaborate with IT, DevOps, and engineering teams to embed security into every phase of our product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• 24/7 shift-based monitoring of security events using SIEM (Splunk, QRadar, or similar) and EDR tools.
• Conduct in-depth threat analysis, triage incidents, and lead initial response efforts to contain and eradicate threats.
• Perform vulnerability management: scan with tools like Nessus or Qualys, prioritize findings, and track remediation.
• Develop and refine correlation rules, dashboards, and reports to improve detection efficacy and reduce false positives.
• Participate in threat intelligence analysis to anticipate emerging risks and adjust defensive postures.
• Document incidents thoroughly for post-mortem analysis and compliance reporting (SOX, ISO 27001).
• Assist in security audits and assessments, providing evidence and supporting documentation.

Requirements & Qualifications

We need a detail-oriented analyst with a hacker mindset and a passion for defense. The ideal candidate is a clear communicator who can explain technical risks to non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in a security operations center (SOC), incident response, or IT security role.
• Proven proficiency with SIEM platforms, IDS/IPS, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
• Strong understanding of the cyber kill chain, MITRE ATT&CK framework, and common attack vectors (phishing, malware, ransomware, DDoS).
• Experience with network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S), Windows/Linux system administration, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Familiarity with scripting for automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash) is a major plus.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work under pressure during security incidents.
• Must be located in a major time zone overlapping with US business hours (EST/PST) for shift coverage.

Preferred Certifications

• CompTIA Security+ or CySA+
• GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) or GIAC Security Analyst (GSA)
• Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
• SANS FOR508 or other SANS incident response certifications.
