Security Operations Center Analyst

Job Title: Senior SOC Analyst (L2/L3) Location: Fully Remote (UK Based) Salary: Up to £65,000 + Performance Bonus + Benefits Employment Type: Full-Time The Opportunity We are representing a global leader in Data Security and Insider Risk to find a high-calibre SOC Analyst to join their internal security operations. This isn't your typical "ticket-churning" MSP role. You will be part of a sophisticated, data-centric security team focused on protecting critical infrastructure and high-value data assets.

If you are a security professional who loves hunting through logs, identifying complex lateral movement, and automating responses rather than just staring at a dashboard—this is for you. Key Responsibilities Incident Response: Lead the detection, triage, and remediation of security events across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Threat Hunting: Proactively search for undetected threats using SIEM, EDR, and specialized Data Security Platforms.

Alert Optimization: Work closely with the engineering team to tune detection logic, reducing "noise" and improving True Positive rates. Forensics & Analysis: Conduct deep-dive analysis into malicious files, suspicious emails, and anomalous user behaviour. Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, concise briefings to technical and non-technical leadership during high-priority incidents.

Your Technical Profile We are looking for a candidate who is "curious by nature" and possesses: Experience: 3+ years in a dedicated SOC or Incident Response role. The "Data" Mindset: Strong understanding of Data Security Platforms (DSPM) or File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is highly desirable. Technical Stack: Proficiency with modern SIEMs (e.g., Sentinel, Splunk) and EDR tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne).

Networking & OS: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, Active Directory, and Windows/Linux internals. Cloud Proficiency: Comfortable investigating incidents within AWS, Azure, or M365 environments. Certifications (Bonus): GCIH, GCIA, SC-200, or equivalent industry-recognized credentials.

Why Join This Team? Competitive Package: Up to £65k base plus a rewarding bonus structure. Advanced Tooling: You will have access to enterprise-grade, cutting-edge security proprietary tools that most analysts only dream of using.

Growth Path: Clear progression into Senior SOC, Incident Response Lead, or Security Engineering.
