Descripción de la vacante

Echelon Risk + Cyber is seeking a seasoned SOC Analyst, Consultant to lead MDR/SOC investigations across client environments in a remote Mexico setting.

You will own Tier 2/3 investigations, tune detections across SIEM/EDR, and develop playbooks to mature the service. Strong telemetry, cloud and identity protection experience is preferred, with English communication required. This role offers exposure to cutting-edge security operations and opportunities to mentor analysts.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Responsabilidades

• Own Tier 2 and Tier 3 investigations escalated from frontline triage: establish scope and root cause, identify affected hosts, users, and identities, and drive containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Perform hands-on endpoint investigation and response in EDR/MDR platforms - process and telemetry analysis, remote host triage, artifact collection, host isolation, and analysis of malicious binaries and scripts.
• Investigate identity and cloud detections across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Active Directory, AWS, and Azure, including business email compromise, token and session theft, MFA abuse, and privilege escalation.
• Triage and investigate email security alerts - phishing and BEC analysis, header, URL, and attachment inspection, tenant-wide message trace and remediation, and mail flow and policy recommendations.
• Review vulnerability scanning and exposure management output, validate findings, and help clients prioritize remediation based on exploitability, exposure, and business context.
• Write, test, and tune detection content across SIEM and EDR - correlation rules, custom detections, exclusions, and suppression logic - and track the effect on alert quality and false positive rates.
• Build and maintain automation and SOAR playbooks that take repetitive work out of the triage queue.
• Run threat hunts using threat intelligence, IoC data, and adversary TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and convert hunt findings into durable detections.
• Document the full incident lifecycle, including root cause analysis and actions taken, and produce clear reports and recommendations for both technical and executive audiences.
• Serve as the escalation point for confirmed incidents, coordinating with client IT and security teams, Echelon's incident response and offensive security practices, and third parties through to resolution.
• Support the growth of the Managed SOC/MDR service - standard operating procedures and runbooks, client and platform onboarding, configuration and tuning, quality review of frontline work, and mentoring and training analysts.
• Participate in after-hours and on-call rotations for SOC alert escalation and response requirements.
