San Francisco, United States Unreal Gigs Full time

Introduction:

Are you passionate about protecting systems, networks, and data from ever-evolving cyber threats? Do you have the analytical skills to detect vulnerabilities before they become risks, and the technical know-how to respond to incidents with precision and speed? If you're driven by the challenge of staying one step ahead of cybercriminals, then our client has an exciting opportunity for you. We're seeking a Cybersecurity Analyst (aka The Digital Defender) to join our team and help secure our digital assets.

Imagine being on the front lines of cybersecurity, where your expertise is crucial to safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of our information. As a Cybersecurity Analyst at our client, you will monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents, ensuring our systems remain secure and compliant. This role isn’t just about monitoring—it's about being a proactive protector who identifies vulnerabilities, mitigates risks, and strengthens our defenses.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Security Monitoring and Incident Response:
  • Continuously monitor network activity, system logs, and security alerts to detect and respond to potential security incidents. You'll be the first line of defense in identifying and mitigating threats.
Vulnerability Management:
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments and security audits to identify potential weaknesses in our infrastructure. You’ll work closely with IT and engineering teams to implement patches and mitigation strategies to keep our systems secure.
Threat Analysis and Intelligence:
  • Stay up-to-date on the latest cyber threats, attack methods, and security trends. You’ll analyze threat intelligence and recommend proactive security measures to prevent potential attacks.
Incident Investigation and Reporting:
  • Investigate security incidents to determine the root cause, scope, and impact. You’ll document incidents, provide detailed reports to management, and recommend corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.
Security Policy Enforcement:
  • Ensure compliance with internal security policies and external regulations (such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS). You’ll help enforce security policies and best practices across the organization to maintain a secure environment.
Security Awareness and Training:
  • Assist in developing and delivering cybersecurity awareness training for employees. You’ll help educate teams on security risks and best practices to minimize human error as a vulnerability.
Tool Management and Automation:
  • Use security tools such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, and firewalls to detect and prevent security breaches. You’ll also work on automating repetitive security tasks to improve efficiency in detecting and responding to threats.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Cybersecurity Expertise: Solid understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals, including network security, endpoint protection, threat detection, and incident response. You’re familiar with the common tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to think critically and quickly assess complex situations. You’re comfortable diving deep into system logs, network traffic, and threat intelligence reports to uncover hidden risks.
  • Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience with cybersecurity tools such as firewalls, SIEM systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and endpoint security software. You should be familiar with scripting and automation to streamline security processes.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly report security incidents, vulnerabilities, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You keep everyone informed and help translate complex issues into actionable steps.
  • Adaptability: Ability to stay calm under pressure and respond quickly to evolving threats. You can switch between multiple tasks and prioritize effectively in high-stress situations.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because even in cybersecurity, we believe in keeping the atmosphere light. If you can stay cool under pressure and crack a smile while solving tough security challenges, you're a great fit.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field. Equivalent experience in cybersecurity roles with a proven track record is also valued.
  • Industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), or similar are highly desirable. If you’ve contributed to security research or open-source security projects, that’s a bonus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in cybersecurity roles, with a focus on security monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management. You’ve worked on identifying and mitigating cyber threats in real-time.
  • Proven experience using security monitoring tools (such as Splunk, AlienVault, or LogRhythm), firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
  • Experience working in industries that require strict compliance, such as finance, healthcare, or e-commerce, is a plus.

Benefits

Benefits:

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
  • Recognition Programs: Employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements and milestones.
