Tier 1 Reactive SOC Analyst

Job Description

Our client is looking for Tier 1 Reactive SOC Analyst to operate within a fast‑paced MSSP environment supporting approximately 50 customer organizations, each with unique systems, tools, and security postures. Analysts are responsible for processing a steady flow of tickets, evaluating alerts to determine whether activity represents a legitimate cybersecurity threat, and deciding appropriate next steps, including escalation when necessary. Success in this role requires flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to operate independently in a dynamic, minimally structured environment without constant oversight.

The team is highly collaborative, and analysts are expected to contribute to shared standards, communicate clearly with teammates and customers, and participate in a 24/7 on‑call rotation (one week every seven weeks).
