Remote Cybersecurity Specialist – Protect What Matters Most, From Your Home Office

Are you a digital guardian ready to combat evolving threats without being tied to a desk? We are seeking a proactive Cybersecurity Specialist to join our fully distributed security operations center. In this critical role, you will monitor, analyze, and neutralize cyber threats for our global client base, all from the comfort and safety of your own home office. If you thrive on intellectual challenge and want a career with genuine impact, this is your mission.

About the Role & Your Mission

You will be on the front lines of our defense strategy. As a key member of our Security Operations Center (SOC), your primary mission is to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents with speed and precision. You will work in a high-energy, tech-driven environment where your actions directly protect our clients’ data, reputation, and operations. This is not a passive monitoring role; it’s an active hunt for adversaries in a constantly shifting landscape.

Core Responsibilities

• Monitor security alerts from SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) platforms 24/7 in a rotating shift model.
• Conduct in-depth threat analysis, triage incidents, and determine severity and scope of breaches.
• Lead incident response efforts, including containment, eradication, and recovery, while documenting all actions meticulously.
• Develop and refine detection rules, playbooks, and automated response workflows to improve our security posture.
• Collaborate with IT, engineering, and legal teams during investigations and for post-incident reporting.
• Stay ahead of the curve by researching new threats, vulnerabilities, and attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
• Participate in regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing support activities.

Who You Are: Requirements & Qualifications

We need a sharp, analytical mind with a hacker’s curiosity and a defender’s discipline. You must be self-motivated, an excellent communicator (written and verbal), and capable of making critical decisions under pressure in a remote setting.

Essential Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or cybersecurity analyst role.
• Proven proficiency with SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, QRadar, ELK Stack) and EDR solutions (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender).
• Solid understanding of network protocols, Windows/Linux system internals, and common attack vectors (phishing, malware, ransomware, DDoS).
• Experience with the MITRE ATT&CK framework for adversary emulation and defense mapping.
• Strong knowledge of scripting/automation basics (Python, PowerShell, Bash) to enhance workflow efficiency.
• Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or GIAC GCIA/GSEC are highly valued.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States and reside in a U.S. time zone for shift coverage.

The Total Package: Compensation & Benefits

We believe in fair, transparent compensation for critical work. Your salary reflects your experience and the value you bring to our mission of security.

Salary Range

$85,000 – $125,000 USD per year (based on experience, certifications, and proven analytical ability). This role is eligible for an annual performance-based bonus.

Why Our Remote-First Culture Wins

• True Flexibility: Design your workday around peak productivity. No commute, no office logistics. Work from wherever you have a secure, dedicated internet connection.
• Top-Tier Equipment: We provide a generous home office stipend and supply you with the latest high-performance laptop, monitors, and security hardware you need.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance (90% employer-paid). Generous PTO, sick days, and mental health days.
• Growth Fund: $2,500 annual professional development budget for certifications, conferences, and courses. We invest in your expertise.
• Retirement Security: 401(k) with a 4% company match to help you build long-term wealth.
• Connect & Belong: Quarterly virtual team-building events, an annual all-company retreat (location varies), and a supportive, collaborative Slack community.

How We Work: The Remote Specialist’s Toolkit

Success in this role hinges on clear communication and disciplined self-management. You will use a secure, cloud-based suite of collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Jira, Confluence) to stay connected with your team and stakeholders. We operate on core hours (10 AM – 4 PM Eastern) for real-time collaboration, with flexibility outside that window. We measure output, not hours logged. You own your schedule and your results.
