Senior SOC Analyst

Job Title: 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.

Browse our curated collection of remote jobs across all categories and industries, featuring positions from top companies worldwide.

• 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.
