Job description

Banyan Cloud is providing the next generation of Cybersecurity-as-a-Service, combining SOC operations, cloud security, On-Premises IT security, identity governance, data security, and compliance into a unified control plane.

Our platform enables organizations to move from alert-driven monitoring to automated, policy-driven security operations—leveraging SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, and CNAPP capabilities.

About the Role

This is opening on our Information Security team, and the level you're brought in at depends on your experience:

• 0 – 2 years of relevant experience (including freshers with strong fundamentals)

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor security alerts, logs, and dashboards (SIEM/SOC tooling) to identify and triage potential threats or anomalies.
• Support vulnerability assessment and management — scanning, tracking, and following up on remediation with engineering teams.
• Assist in security incident response: initial investigation, evidence collection, and documentation.
• Help maintain and review security policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and playbooks.
• Support internal and customer-facing security audits and compliance efforts (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR).
• Assist with cloud security posture reviews across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, aligned with CSPM/KSPM/DSPM best practices.
• Track and report on security metrics, open findings, and audit action items.
• Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry security trends.

Additional Responsibilities

• Own configuration, tuning, and health of SIEM/SOC tooling, alert rules, and detection use cases.
• Lead incident response for moderate-severity incidents, including root cause analysis and remediation planning.
• Design and implement security controls across cloud infrastructure, applications, and endpoints.
• Partner with engineering teams on shift-left security — secure coding practices, IaC scanning, and secrets management.
• Automate repetitive security tasks and reporting using scripting (e.g., Python, Bash).
• Mentor and review the work of Information Security Analysts.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of core security concepts: networking fundamentals, OS security, encryption, authentication/authorization, and common attack techniques.
• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards such as OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or ISO 27001.
• Basic exposure to SOC/SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, or the ELK stack) is a plus — hands‑on SOC experience is not mandatory.
• Good analytical thinking, attention to detail, and clear written communication for documenting findings and reports.
• Willingness to learn and work in a fast‑paced, cloud‑native security product environment.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud security concepts.
• Familiarity with containers/Kubernetes security.
• Scripting/automation experience (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, or CySA+ (or actively pursuing one).
• Work on a fast-growing, AI‑powered cybersecurity platform used by enterprise customers across multiple industries.
• Hands‑on exposure to modern cloud security domains — CSPM, DSPM, KSPM, CIEM — alongside core SOC and infosec fundamentals.
• Direct mentorship and a clear growth path from Analyst to Engineer and beyond.
• Collaborative, security‑first culture in a company built entirely around protecting cloud environments.
