• Monitor and manage security platforms including Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) and SIEM solutions to identify and mitigate anomalies in real-time.

• Develop, tune, and optimize SIEM correlation rules and alerting mechanisms to stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape in the healthcare sector.

• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to provide rapid response to high-priority security incidents and escalations, including weekends and after-hours.

• Collaborate across cross-functional teams including IT, compliance, and clinical stakeholders to remediate vulnerabilities and perform healthcare-specific threat hunting.

What You'll Need

• 3+ years of professional experience in a SOC, Incident Response, or Health IT Security environment.

• Proven technical expertise with EDR tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) and SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, LogRhythm) is essential.

• Strong understanding of HIPAA regulations, PHI protection, and healthcare risk management frameworks.

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or IT (or 5+ years of relevant security experience in lieu of a degree).

• Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or GCIH are highly preferred.

What's On Offer

• Competitive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and a 401k/403B with employer match.

• Industry-leading family support: up to $10,000 for adoption/fertility/surrogacy and paid parental leave.

• Exceptional career growth: $5,250 annual tuition assistance, $10,000 student debt pay down, and reimbursement for professional certifications.
