Security Operations Analyst
enterprise mssp | ai-augmented soc | detection engineering focus
Location:
Remote Costa Rica or Argentina (u.s. time zone alignment required)
Who we are:
We operate a next-generation, ai-augmented security operations center supporting enterprise clients across multiple industries. This is not a traditional alert-triage soc role.
Our analysts investigate sophisticated threats, engineer high-fidelity detections, leverage ai to accelerate analysis, and continuously improve how security operations are executed across multiple client environments.
If you are looking to simply manage a queue, this is not the role.
If you want ownership over investigation quality, detection precision, and automation impact…keep reading.
What you will own
enterprise-grade investigations
- lead structured investigations across siem, edr, email security, and cloud telemetry
- determine root cause and blast radius — not just close alerts
- correlate telemetry with threat intelligence to assess impact
- deliver clear, executive-ready findings tailored to enterprise stakeholders
- support containment, eradication, and recovery efforts
detection engineering & threat hunting
- develop and tune siem detection rules across multiple environments
- create and refine yara rules for malware detection
- engineer new detection use cases aligned to emerging threats
- conduct hypothesis-driven threat hunts
- reduce false positives through precision tuning
- map detections to mitre attack where appropriate
you will influence detection quality directly, not just consume alerts.
ai-augmented analysis & automation
- leverage ai tooling to accelerate log analysis and enrichment
- validate ai outputs and refine workflows
- identify repetitive investigative tasks suitable for automation
- collaborate on operationalizing ai-assisted playbooks
- increase efficiency without sacrificing analytical rigor
ai is an accelerator, not a substitute for judgement.
continuous improvement
- conduct post-incident detection gap reviews
- translate lessons learned into measurable detection improvements
- contribute to knowledge base and investigation standards
- track and improve operational performance metrics
Required Technical Experience
- hands-on experience with at least one major siem platform (splunk, sentinel, elastic, google secops, qradar, etc.)
- experience with edr/xdr platforms (crowdstrike, sentinelone, defender, etc.)
- detection rule creation or tuning experience
- experience writing or modifying yara rules
- understanding of windows, linux, and cloud telemetry
- threat intelligence and ioc handling experience
- incident response lifecycle familiarity
- scripting capability (python, powershell, or similar)
- strong written english for client-facing reporting
It would be great if you have
- mssp or multi-tenant enterprise experience
- soar exposure
- mitre att&ck mapping experience
- cloud security investigation (aws/azure/gcp)
- experience reducing false positives at scale
- experience using ai tools in investigation workflows
- malware analysis fundamentals
we value
- ownership over outcomes
- analytical discipline
- technical curiosity
- clear business communication
- calm under pressure
- comfort operating across multiple enterprise environments
If you want to grow beyond traditional soc boundaries and help shape modern security operations, we want to meet you.
