• Develop and improve automation scripts, tools, and playbooks (primarily in Python) to enhance SOC efficiency and reduce manual workload.
• Participate in threat research: analyzing emerging attack vectors, malware, and vulnerabilities to strengthen detection strategies.
• Contribute to security R&D projects—experimenting with new technologies, writing proof-of-concept scripts, and implementing detection logic.
• Collaborate with senior analysts, threat hunters, and incident response on complex investigations.
• Maintain documentation of incidents, findings, and process improvements.
• Continuously upgrade skills through research, and certifications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Strong foundation in networking, operating systems, and security fundamentals (TCP/IP, logs, firewalls, SIEM, IDS/IPS).
• Hands-on coding/scripting skills – preferably in Python (PowerShell, Bash, or other scripting languages are a plus).
• Familiarity with SIEM solutions (Splunk, QRadar, Elastic, etc.) and log analysis.
• Analytical and troubleshooting ability under pressure.

• Strong willingness to work in rotational shifts (morning/afternoon/evening).

Preferred Skills

• Certifications: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, CEH, or equivalent. are a plus
• Exposure to malware analysis, threat intelligence,
• Experience in creating custom detection rules or scripts (YARA, Sigma, Snort, etc.). are plus
• Previous internship or hands-on project experience in a SOC, cybersecurity lab, or capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions.

Shift Details

• 6 Day work week, 9hour shift
• Rotating shifts (Morning/Evening/Night)
• Must be comfortable with night shifts and flexible to work weekends/holidays as part of the rotation.

Benefits

• Gain real SOC experience in a fast-paced cybersecurity environment.
• Exposure to advanced tools, frameworks, and research projects that go beyond monitoring.
• Learning and certification support for relevant cybersecurity credentials.
• Clear career growth opportunities into Mid-level SOC, Threat Hunting, or Incident Response roles.
