Job Details
As an IT Security Analyst, you will play a key role in the strategic and hands-on protection of our enterprise systems. This is not a purely monitoring or compliance role - you will actively deploy, configure, and secure systems in complex on-premises environments where automation is central to our operations.
You will be responsible for hardening infrastructure, integrating security systems into deployments, and directly supporting the secure configuration of enterprise applications while managing SIEM operations, incident response, and vulnerability reviews. Your work will also include building automation pipelines, performing system audits, and collaborating with infrastructure teams to enforce security standards from the ground up. We encourage fresh ideas and value your input on how security should be implemented, giving you the opportunity to shape our security program.
Responsibilities:
- Technical Security Operations: Deploy, configure, and harden Linux systems and applications with a security-first approach, ensuring on-premises installations follow best practices. Build, maintain, and secure pipelines using automation and scripting languages.
- Security Incident and Event Management: Design, implement and maintain automated processes within the SIEM environment to enhance threat detection, incident response and log management. Develop and maintain automated responses to common security incidents.
- Technical Security Analysis: Monitor SIEM alerts and investigate security incidents to determine the root cause and appropriate remediation actions. Prioritize and remediate identified vulnerabilities in collaboration with system owners and IT teams.
- Operational Security Prime: Collaborate with Risk and Compliance personnel to gather evidence for Compliance requirements (SOC II, ISO 27001, PCI, NIST 800-53, etc.).
- Collaboration and Communication: Communicate security risks and findings to technical and non-technical audiences effectively.
Education and Knowledge:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or similar) or an equivalent combination or relevant education and additional relevant work experience. Knowledge of Linux administration, configuration management and automation tools, log management and/or SIEM systems, and Cloud (Azure).
Experience:
3+ years in Systems Administration or similar role. 1+ year in an IT security related position is preferred.
Technical Environment:
Cloud Technologies: Azure, Sentinel, Defender for Cloud. Automation Languages: Python, Ruby, Bash, PowerShell. OS/Command Line: Linux, Windows. Security Technologies: IAM/RBAC, Conditional Access, MFA, H/NIDS, Traditional Perimeter and Endpoint security.
