About Mjolnir Security

Mjolnir Security is a Canadian MSSP and DFIR firm with deep expertise in Microsoft 365 security, endpoint detection and response, threat intelligence, and digital forensics. We operate a proprietary AI-augmented security operations platform and serve enterprise clients in banking, automotive, education, and regulated sectors. All operations are Canadian-data-resident by design.

The Role

We're hiring a Security Analyst to join our security operations and DFIR practice. You'll support threat monitoring, incident triage, log analysis, M365 security investigations, and endpoint forensics across a portfolio of enterprise clients. You'll work alongside senior DFIR and M365 specialists and be expected to grow fast — this is a hands-on role from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Monitor client environments for security events, anomalies, and indicators of compromise using SIEM, EDR, and proprietary tooling

  • Triage and investigate alerts, escalating confirmed incidents per established playbooks

  • Conduct M365 log analysis including Unified Audit Log, Entra ID sign-in logs, and Exchange/Teams telemetry

  • Support DFIR engagements: evidence acquisition, chain-of-custody documentation, timeline reconstruction, and report contribution

  • Write and refine detection rules, Suricata signatures, and threat hunting queries

  • Contribute to threat intelligence briefs (BLUF format): IOC enrichment, OSINT research, and context development

  • Assist with client vulnerability assessments and security posture reviews

  • Document findings clearly for both technical audiences and executive summaries

  • Support the deployment and tuning of security controls including DLP policies, conditional access, and endpoint agents

What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of experience in a SOC, MSSP, IT security, or DFIR-adjacent role

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 security: Defender for Endpoint/Identity/O365, Entra ID, Purview

  • Familiarity with SIEM concepts and log analysis (Sumo Logic, Sentinel, or similar)

  • Understanding of common attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK), phishing chains, and ransomware tradecraft

  • Exposure to network-level security: Suricata, Zeek, firewall log analysis, or packet capture

  • Strong written communication — you can write a coherent incident summary under pressure

  • Security certifications (SC-200, Security+, CySA+, BTL1, or equivalent) are an asset

  • Hands-on experience with forensic tools (Magnet AXIOM, Velociraptor, or similar) is a strong advantage

  • Python or PowerShell scripting for automation or log parsing is a plus

Why Join Us

  • Work real DFIR cases and live SOC operations — not a training lab
  • Exposure to a proprietary AI-augmented SOC platform and 90+ internal security tools
  • Mentorship from senior DFIR and M365 specialists with 17+ years of enterprise experience
  • Clear path to Senior Analyst or DFIR Specialist with hands-on case ownership
  • Competitive compensation, hybrid flexibility, and the pace of a firm that builds and ships
