About the Role  

We are looking for a senior, self-directed SOC Analyst to join our lean global security operations team based in Pune. As the sole security operations resource during non-US business hours, you will own the full spectrum of alert triage, incident investigation, and response for your shift. This role requires someone who can function as both an L2 investigator and an L3 responder depending on the situation, without relying on a senior analyst to hand off to.  

Responsibilities  

Incident Investigation & Response  

Own the full incident lifecycle during non-US hours — from initial triage through containment, remediation, and documentation  

Conduct in-depth investigation of security events across SIEM, EDR, email security, network, identity, and cloud platforms  

Perform root cause analysis on confirmed incidents and produce clear, actionable incident reports  

Escalate incidents to the Director of Security Operations with a clear situation summary and recommended course of action  

Provide detailed shift handoff notes to the US-based security analyst at transition, ensuring full continuity of open investigations  

Process & Documentation  

Develop, maintain, and improve incident response playbooks and SOC runbooks  

Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation across all active and closed incidents  

Contribute to weekly and monthly SOC metrics, trend analysis, and reporting for the Director of Security Operations  

Identify opportunities to improve SOC processes, tooling, and automation and bring recommendations to the team  

Collaboration  

Work closely with the US-based security analyst and Director of Security Operations during shift overlap windows to align on priorities, open incidents, and ongoing investigations  

Serve as the primary security operations contact for any India-based stakeholders or teams during non-US hours  

Qualifications  

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or a related field (B.E. / B.Tech / BCA / B.Sc. IT preferred)   

4–6 years of experience in SOC or cybersecurity operations, with demonstrated experience performing both L2 investigation and L3 response duties   

Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, or similar)   

Strong experience with EDR tools (CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, or similar)   

Advanced log analysis skills across Windows, Linux, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), and identity platforms (Active Directory, Azure AD)   

Strong working knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework   

Demonstrated ability to work independently, make sound decisions under pressure, and manage incidents end-to-end without real-time senior support   

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English — including the ability to write clear incident reports, escalation summaries, and shift handoff notes for a global team   

Comfortable working non-US business hours  

Nice to Have  

Certifications: CompTIA CySA+, GCIH, GCFE, GCFA, SC-200, or equivalent  

Experience with SOAR platforms and alert automation or basic scripting (Python, PowerShell) for SOC workflow improvement  

Exposure to cloud security monitoring (AWS GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Sentinel, etc.)  

Experience operating in a small or lean security team with broad individual ownership  

Familiarity with GRC concepts and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) to support cross-team collaboration  

Salary Range: ₹24,00,000 to ₹32,00,000 plus 10% bonus As a learning company we believe in the potential of everyone; if you don't have experience in all the details mentioned in this job post, then we still encourage you to apply and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
