If you're ready to grow, lead and make a difference, come join our team and help shape the future of convenience. Job Summary: We are a state-of-the-art Security Operations Center (SOC) loaded with multiple industry standard and competitive security toolsets in our arsenal. We are looking for tenacious candidates who possess a strong aptitude and attitude to join our SOC team. This position revolves more around in-depth analysis rather than following the usual defined process. We are more interested in aptitude and attitude than experience with specific security tools. Let us know your history, but of more interest is your grasp of technical concepts, not specific user interfaces or tools-based knowledge. We want team members who will take ownership of issues and drive them to resolution, not simply perform tasks as assigned. You will work with detailed direction from senior team members on at least one specialization within the Security Operations domain. You will participate in investigations into security incidents and violations, and will thus be responsible for sensitive information relevant to employees, contractors, vendors, etc. of 7-11. As such, you will be expected to have the ability to pass a detailed background investigation, and maintain impeccable standards of confidentiality, morality, and ethics. You must have a passion for learning new technologies, not simply working with what you already know. You will be provided with the tools to produce your own career success, but are expected to seize them and create that success. You will be challenged in a fast-paced environment, but success in handling these challenges will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.
