SOC Analyst - Hybrid/Remote in Netherlands or Germany

We are looking for a SOC Analyst - Tier 1 (f/m/x) to join our Security Operations team. In this role, you will act as the first line of defense, monitoring security alerts, identifying real threats, and ensuring that relevant incidents are escalated quickly and clearly.

This is an entry-level position designed for candidates who want to start or grow their career in cybersecurity. You will work with real-world incidents from day one, supported by experienced colleagues and a structured onboarding process.

This is a strong early-career role in cybersecurity, with a clear path to grow into more advanced roles over time.

• Monitor and analyze incoming security alerts from tools such as EDR and SIEM
• Distinguish between false positives and real security threats
• Document your findings clearly and consistently
• Perform basic enrichment to gather context around alerts
• Escalate relevant incidents to more senior analysts
• Continuously learn through real-world cases, onboarding, and collaboration with the team

• Basic understanding of IT fundamentals (networks, operating systems, IT infrastructure...)

• Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts such as alerts, logs, or incidents

• Exposure to security operations (studies, internship, or relevant work)

• Strong attention to detail and structured way of working

• Motivation to learn and grow in a hands-on cybersecurity environment

• Strong communication skills and ability to document clearly

• Fluency in English (internal working language)

• Fluency in German or Dutch (required for client communication)

• Exposure to tools such as EDR or SIEM

• Basic scripting knowledge (e.g. Python, Bash)

• Previous hands-on experience in a SOC or similar environment

• A meaningful mission: protect organizations across Europe from real-world cyber threats
• Work with top-tier professionals from national CERTs, intelligence agencies, and leading tech backgrounds
• A remote-friendly culture with quarterly meetups and annual company retreats (in Spain, Portugal, Italy…)
• Weekly lunches (NL) and Thursday socials to stay connected
• A generous time-off policy, including wellbeing and volunteering days
