Job Description

Epiq is looking for a Cyber Security Analyst (SOC) to join our global Security Operations team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their cybersecurity career who wants to do more than simply monitor an alert queue. You’ll gain hands‑on experience across incident response, threat hunting, insider risk, threat intelligence, detection engineering, vulnerability testing, and security automation while working alongside an experienced, globally distributed security team. Our environment is Microsoft‑centric, and the team is actively incorporating automation and AI into how we investigate threats and improve security operations.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor, triage, investigate, and respond to security alerts and incidents.
• Analyze security data to determine severity, impact, and appropriate response or escalation.
• Work with Microsoft security tools and other security technologies.
• Conduct threat hunts using emerging threats, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and threat intelligence.
• Investigate insider risk and suspicious user activity.
• Participate in vulnerability testing, purple‑team exercises, and detection engineering.
• Help develop and improve detection rules, security playbooks, processes, and automation.
• Collaborate with Security Engineering, Identity & Access Management, and other cybersecurity and IT teams.
• Identify opportunities to use automation and emerging technologies to improve security operations.

• Strong investigative, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.
• An interest in threat hunting, detection engineering, security automation, or emerging threats.
• A willingness to learn, take ownership, and grow as the security environment evolves.

Microsoft security experience is a plus, not a prerequisite.

Experience with platforms such as Splunk, Elasticsearch, Exabeam, or other SIEM/EDR technologies can translate well to this environment.
