Senior Security Operations Analyst

Job description

You'll lead detection and response across endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and SaaS telemetry, owning the complex and ambiguous investigations end-to-end, partnering closely with Detection Engineering to turn what you see on the front line into better detections, and turning post-incident lessons into durable improvements to our playbooks and runbooks. You'll be a trusted escalation point on the on-call rotation, lead the threat hunts that catch what automation misses, and mentor the engineers around you. This is a formative, high-autonomy role on a SecOps team being built from the ground up, where you'll set the technical bar and help shape how Saronic operates across security domains.
