Job details

Overview: The client is looking for an IT security analyst for its SOC, positioned at level 2: alerts reach this person already escalated by level 1, and the person in turn acts as the technical escalation point for those analysts. The work centres on investigation: qualifying phishing, account compromise, malware or lateral movement cases, correlating events across several platforms, then enriching them with logs, indicators of compromise and threat intelligence. The person determines verdict, severity and impact, then recommends or initiates first measures according to established processes, with incident response remaining initial and carried out with other teams. The form title specifies no level, while the full set of responsibilities describes a level 2 role.

Target candidate: a QA professional with at least 10 years in IT, including 5 years in testing, who has coordinated testing within agile teams and uses JIRA, XRAY, Cypress and Playwright in recent mandates. Group insurance exposure or an integration project will set apart otherwise equal candidates.
