Remote Information Security Analyst – Work from Anywhere – Join Our Cyber Team!

Ready to protect critical data from the comfort of your home office? We’re seeking a detail‑oriented Information Security Analyst to strengthen our defenses, respond to incidents, and keep our clients’ information safe. If you thrive on solving complex security puzzles and love the flexibility of a fully remote role, this is your next career move.

Salary Range

$78,000 – $105,000 USD per year (based on experience, certifications, and market benchmarks for 2024).

About the Role

As a Remote Information Security Analyst, you will be the front line of our cyber‑defense strategy. Working collaboratively with engineers, auditors, and senior leadership, you’ll monitor threats, conduct risk assessments, and implement controls that align with industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will include:

• Analyzing security alerts from SIEM, IDS/IPS, and endpoint tools.
• Investigating incidents, documenting findings, and coordinating remediation.
• Performing vulnerability scans, patch validation, and remediation tracking.
• Creating and updating security policies, procedures, and awareness training.
• Collaborating with developers to embed secure coding practices into the SDLC.
• Reporting metrics and trends to senior management and clients.

Why This Position Is 100% Remote

All tools, platforms, and communications are cloud‑based, allowing you to work from any location with a reliable internet connection. We provide a secure VPN, a home‑office stipend, and a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to keep your work environment safe and compliant.

Key Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in information security, incident response, or a similar role.
• Professional certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CISSP, CEH, or GSEC are highly preferred.
• Proficiency with SIEM tools (Splunk, QRadar, or LogRhythm) and vulnerability management platforms (Qualys, Tenable, or Rapid7).
• Strong understanding of network protocols, firewalls, and cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Self‑motivated, able to manage priorities independently while thriving in a collaborative remote team.

Benefits & Perks

• Fully remote work with flexible hours to accommodate different time zones.
• Competitive salary with annual performance bonuses.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Generous paid time off, sick leave, and holidays.
• Home‑office equipment allowance (monitor, ergonomic chair, headset).
• Professional development budget for certifications, conferences, and online courses.
• Monthly virtual team‑building events and a supportive, inclusive culture.

What Success Looks Like

In the first 90 days, you’ll master our security stack, complete a full incident response drill, and deliver a risk assessment report for a key client. Within the first year, you’ll lead at least two major remediation projects, mentor junior analysts, and help shape our evolving security roadmap.

How to Stand Out

Showcase real‑world examples of incidents you’ve resolved, include metrics (e.g., reduced mean time to detect by 30%), and highlight any automation scripts or playbooks you’ve built. Demonstrating a proactive mindset and a passion for continuous learning will set you apart.

Company Culture

We are a fast‑growing, security‑first organization that values transparency, agility, and employee well‑being. Our remote‑first philosophy means we invest in the tools and processes that keep our distributed workforce connected, productive, and secure.
