Security Analyst I-Seattle, Washington

ABC Legal Services•Seattle, WA

13h•$90,000 - $105,000•Hybrid

About The Position

ABC Legal Services is adding a Security Analyst I to its IT team. This is an early career role for someone who already has security work under their belt and wants to own more of it. You will work directly with the IT Manager and the System Administrator team on the day to day security operations that keep the company safe: alert triage, access reviews, endpoint compliance, vulnerability remediation, and audit evidence. You will not be expected to arrive knowing our environment. You will be expected to already know how to work an alert. We are a small team, so you will see the whole picture rather than one narrow slice of it.

Requirements

2 or more years in IT, including at least 1 year of hands on security work. That security year can be a dedicated security role or security responsibilities carried inside a broader IT job
Direct experience with an EDR platform. CrowdStrike Falcon preferred, and experience with Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, or similar transfers
Practical experience triaging security alerts and working an investigation to a conclusion
Working familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration
Careful, methodical habits. Security work rewards people who check twice
Clear writing, and the patience to explain a risk to someone who does not work in IT

Nice To Haves

CompTIA Security+, SC-200, AZ-500, or a CrowdStrike certification, or active progress toward one
Any PowerShell scripting
macOS management exposure (Iru, Kandji, or Jamf)
Familiarity with SOC 2, NIST CSF, or CIS Controls
Experience in legal, financial, or another regulated industry

Responsibilities

Triage detections in CrowdStrike Falcon, escalating what needs a second set of eyes
Work in the Falcon console daily: detections, host containment, policy and sensor health, and detection tuning as you ramp
Review Entra ID sign in and audit logs for suspicious authentication activity
Investigate user reported phishing and take action on malicious mail
Work the vulnerability queue: track findings, chase remediation, report on progress
Run recurring access reviews across Microsoft Entra ID and flag anything that looks wrong
Partner with the System Administrator team on Conditional Access and MFA policy
Monitor device compliance and encryption status in Intune (Windows) and Iru (macOS)
Help remediate configuration and patch drift across the fleet
Collect and organize evidence for audits and client security requirements
Help complete security questionnaires
Document procedures in Confluence and track your work in Jira
Help run phishing simulations and security awareness training
Be an approachable point of contact when someone is not sure whether something is safe
