## Description

We're looking for a cybersecurity analyst who can take a security event from first alert to confirmed fix. You will investigate and remediate threats across hundreds of customer environments, own the security configuration of the systems you're responsible for, and help build the playbooks our team runs on. You'll work alongside senior engineers and be trusted to make decisions and talk directly with customers.

What You'll Do

 * Lead security incident response from detection through containment, remediation and close-out
 * Investigate suspicious sign-ins, malware detections, phishing campaigns and firewall events, and determine root cause
 * Own security configuration on customer firewalls, endpoints and cloud identity platforms
 * Write and tune detection rules to cut alert noise and catch real threats
 * Build and maintain runbooks so the team handles common incidents consistently
 * Audit customer environments to confirm security tools are deployed, licensed and reporting
 * Review and mentor junior analysts' investigations and documentation
 * Explain incidents and remediation plans clearly to customers, technical and non-technical alike
 * Support security awareness and phishing simulation programs
