About The Position

Our Security Operations Center (SOC) is seeking a Senior SOC Analyst (2nd shift 3pm-11pm CST) who can quickly get up to speed and help drive operational excellence. This role is focused on eliminating inefficiencies, expanding detection coverage, and strengthening our detection, response, and threat-informed defense capabilities. It’s ideal for someone who excels in hands-on analysis and is passionate about improving how a SOC operates day-to-day. You’ll play a key role in proactive cyber defense by collaborating across InfoSec teams, enhancing monitoring platforms, tuning controls, and conducting targeted threat hunts that reduce risk, enable better detections, and elevate our overall security posture. This position goes well beyond alert triage. You’ll be expected to identify and resolve workflow inefficiencies that slow down response or create friction for analysts, expand detection gap coverage through new use cases, improved telemetry, and refined detection logic, and reduce false positives and increase detection fidelity through ongoing tuning of tools and monitoring platforms.

Requirements

Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in an operational security program.
Bachelor’s in computer science, information security, or equivalent experience/certifications.
The ability to balance security principles with business realities as part of a risk-managed program.
Hands‑on experience performing responsibilities aligned to incident response, security operations, and security initiatives.
Background in SOC operations, detection engineering, threat hunting, or cyber threat intelligence.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to provide sponsorship for this position.
Permanent U.S. work authorization required. Candidates requiring current or future visa sponsorship, including those on F‑1/OPT, CPT or H1B, are not eligible for this role. This role is not open for staffing partners or corp‑to‑corp candidates.
