About the role:
As an Intermediate Security Analyst within our SOC team, you'll actively monitor, investigate, and respond to security incidents across our web2 and web3 environments. You'll leverage our security tooling ecosystem, comprising both 3rd party solutions and custom-built tools, to detect and analyze threats in traditional and blockchain environments. You'll apply established incident response playbooks while contributing improvements based on your experience. Your skills in threat detection will enable you to identify suspicious patterns, correlate security events, and conduct first and second-level investigations. You'll utilize our SOAR platform to manage response actions and work with machine learning detection systems to identify anomalies. You'll also help implement LLM integrations to enhance security operations efficiency. With a solid foundation in security principles, you'll expand your expertise in blockchain security and contribute to the team's threat intelligence and detection capabilities.
