Job Description
Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a managed IT services company based in Atlanta, GA, for a Tier 2 SOC Analyst to join their around-the-clock security operations team. This is a chance to work at the front line of threat detection and response, protecting a diverse portfolio of client environments while working alongside a tight-knit, experienced security team that takes pride in catching what others miss.
Day to day, you will triage escalations from Tier 1 analysts, dig into alerts across SIEM and EDR platforms, and decide fast whether something is noise or a real incident in progress. The role suits someone who is calm under pressure, genuinely curious about attacker behavior, and comfortable owning an investigation from first alert through containment and documentation. If you like the adrenaline of active incident response paired with the structure of a mature SOC, this is a strong fit.
COMPENSATION
The salary range for this role is $70,000 - $88,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications.
Additional compensation and benefits details will be shared during the hiring process.
Responsibilities
- Monitor and triage security alerts escalated from Tier 1 analysts across multiple client environments
- Investigate potential security incidents using SIEM, EDR, and network monitoring tools
- Perform in-depth analysis of logs, network traffic, and endpoint data to determine scope and impact
- Lead initial incident response activities including containment and remediation guidance
- Document findings, timelines, and response actions in detailed incident reports
- Tune detection rules and alert thresholds to reduce false positives and improve fidelity
- Collaborate with Tier 3 analysts and engineering teams on complex or recurring threats
- Track emerging threats and vulnerabilities relevant to client industries
- Participate in an on-call rotation supporting 24x7 SOC coverage
- Mentor Tier 1 analysts on triage and investigation best practices
