Remote Information Security Analyst – Nationwide – Protect Critical Assets

Join a forward‑thinking security team that safeguards enterprise data across cloud, network, and endpoint environments. This fully remote role empowers you to design, monitor, and improve defensive strategies while collaborating with a distributed group of engineers and compliance experts.

About the Role

As an Information Security Analyst, you will be the first line of defense against evolving cyber threats. You will analyze security events, conduct vulnerability assessments, and help shape the organization’s security posture. The position offers autonomy to research emerging attack vectors and the support of a seasoned leadership team that values continuous learning.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor SIEM alerts and investigate anomalies across hybrid cloud and on‑premise infrastructures.
• Perform regular vulnerability scans, prioritize remediation, and track patch deployment.
• Develop and maintain incident response playbooks; lead tabletop exercises quarterly.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps to embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines.
• Prepare compliance evidence for frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.
• Conduct threat intelligence research and disseminate actionable advisories to stakeholders.

Requirements

Must‑Have Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years hands‑on experience in a SOC, threat hunting, or vulnerability management role.
• Proficiency with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Elastic, or Microsoft Sentinel) and endpoint detection tools (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne).
• Strong scripting ability in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation.
• Current certification such as CompTIA Security+, (ISC)² CISSP, or GIAC GCIH.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cloud security posture management (AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender, GCP SCC).
• Knowledge of zero‑trust architecture and micro‑segmentation strategies.
• Active participation in bug‑bounty programs or open‑source security projects.

Salary Range

$95,000 – $130,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience and certifications.

Benefits

• 100 % remote work with a $1,200 annual home‑office stipend.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents.
• 401(k) match up to 5 % plus profit‑sharing.
• Unlimited PTO and a mandatory “recharge” week each year.
• Annual training budget of $3,000 for certifications, conferences, and courses.
• Wellness allowance, mental‑health resources, and ergonomic equipment reimbursement.

Culture & Values

Our team thrives on transparency, blameless postmortems, and a shared commitment to “security as an enabler.” We celebrate diverse perspectives, encourage open dialogue in async channels, and invest heavily in mentorship programs that accelerate career growth.

How to Succeed in This Role

• Stay curious: allocate time each week to read threat reports and experiment with new detection logic.
• Communicate clearly: translate technical findings into risk language for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Automate relentlessly: turn repetitive investigations into playbooks that reduce mean‑time‑to‑respond.
• Build relationships: partner with developers, ops, and compliance early to embed security by design.
