About The Opportunity

Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a major international organization for a Security Operations Analyst specializing in SIEM and Threat Detection.

You’ll join a global Cybersecurity Operations team focused on building, operating, and continuously improving the security monitoring capabilities protecting international organizations and their technology environments.

Unlike a traditional SOC monitoring role, this position has a strong focus on SIEM administration, detection engineering, security content, data-source onboarding, use‑case lifecycle management, and detection optimization.

What You’ll Do

• Develop, implement, validate, tune, and maintain security monitoring and detection capabilities.
• Administer and optimize SIEM platforms across multiple customer environments.
• Manage security detection rules and use cases throughout their lifecycle.
• Onboard, integrate, test, and validate new security data sources and telemetry feeds.
• Review and improve detection logic, security content, and monitoring configurations.
• Collaborate with Threat Intelligence and Incident Response teams to translate threats into actionable detection capabilities.
• Support cybersecurity architecture reviews and provide recommendations to improve security monitoring.
• Build and maintain security metrics, dashboards, KPIs, and service-performance reports.
• Evaluate detection effectiveness and identify opportunities to reduce false positives.
• Contribute to quality assurance, process reviews, control validation, and corrective actions.
• Maintain SOC procedures, standards, documentation, knowledge bases, and operational guidance.
• Prepare technical reports, findings, and recommendations for internal and external stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of relevant IT/cybersecurity experience.
• Proven hands-on experience administering a SIEM platform, ideally Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel.
• Strong experience with SIEM/EDR environments and technical security analysis.
• Deep knowledge of Microsoft Security technologies.
• Strong cloud security knowledge across Azure, AWS, and/or GCP.
• Experience with platforms such as Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight, Microsoft Sentinel, or ELK.
• Experience with at least one EDR platform such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or CrowdStrike.
• Knowledge of email security, network monitoring, and incident response.
• Strong Linux, macOS, and Windows knowledge.
• Fluent English with excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing SIEM architecture from initial design through implementation.
• Experience building data-ingestion pipelines for diverse cloud and on-premise log sources.
• AWS security monitoring experience.
• Scripting experience with Python, PowerShell, Bash, Ruby, or similar.
• Security certifications such as SC-200, GCIH, CEH, GCFA, GIAC, CCNA, or MCSE.
• Experience working across multiple customer environments.

Why Join

• Work beyond traditional SOC monitoring and contribute to the engineering and optimization of security detection capabilities.
• Gain exposure to large-scale SIEM, EDR, cloud, and threat‑detection environments.
• Work directly with Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, and Cybersecurity Operations teams.
• Help shape detection use cases, monitoring architecture, and operational processes.
• Work on cybersecurity services supporting multiple international organizations.
