Job description

Somewhere on your dashboard right now, an alert is waiting. Most of them turn out to be nothing. A few won't be. Telling the difference — fast, and without second-guessing yourself — is the core of this job. We're hiring a Remote Cloud Security Operations Analyst to sit at that line, watching for traffic spikes or login patterns that don't quite fit, and acting before they turn into something bigger. The role runs fully remote. Threats don't check a calendar, so the work isn't strictly nine-to-five, but you won't be handling it solo—this is a team that answers pings fast and shows up when an incident escalates. The position pays $133,500 per year.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Monitoring cloud environments for suspicious activity and flagging anomalies early
• Running vulnerability management processes to close security gaps before they're exploited
• Managing identity and access controls (IAM) to keep systems and networks locked down
• Leading or supporting incident response when something real is unfolding
• Keeping operations aligned with cloud compliance frameworks and audit requirements
• Conducting risk assessments and recommending stronger defenses based on findings
• Building security automation scripts and workflows to cut down on manual, repetitive work

What We're Looking For

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years working in cybersecurity, SOC, or a closely related security operations role
• Education: Bachelor's degree, minimum requirement
• Working knowledge of SIEM platforms, firewalls, and data loss prevention tools
• The ability to stay level-headed and think clearly when something's actively going wrong
• Comfort explaining technical risk to people who don't have a security background
• A track record of adapting quickly, since the threat landscape rarely holds still
• Nice-to-Haves: Exposure to digital forensics or post-incident investigation work
• Hands-on experience with endpoint protection platforms
• Familiarity with cloud compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar
• Scripting ability for building or maintaining security automation

Tools You'll Actually Use

• SIEM dashboards for anomaly detection
• IDS/IPS systems to detect and block malicious traffic
• Endpoint protection tools that keep individual devices secure
• Data loss prevention software to prevent sensitive information from quietly walking out the door
• Forensics resources to figure out exactly what happened and why when something escalates

Remote, But Not Isolated

Working remotely means no commute and more control over your day—but security work can get intense, and isolation doesn't help anyone think clearly during a live incident. That's why the team keeps regular touchpoints: weekly syncs, quick check-ins after a tough incident, and space to actually talk through what happened instead of just closing the ticket. Many candidates researching openings on Naukri Mitra ask whether "remote" really means supported—as here, it does, in practice, not just on paper.

Where This Role Can Take You

This isn't a dead-end monitoring seat. Analysts on this team have moved into SOC leadership, specialized in vulnerability management or compliance, or shifted toward security architecture roles, designing defenses from the ground up. Training budgets, mentorship, and internal mobility are all part of how that happens — the path is there if you want to take it.

Benefits

• Fully remote work with a flexible schedule structure
• Health coverage for you and eligible dependents
• Paid time off and standard company holidays
• Budget for security certifications, courses, and ongoing training
• Performance-based bonus eligibility

Who You'll Be Working Alongside

Expect regular contact with engineers, IT staff, compliance officers, and occasionally leadership—translating a technical risk into something a non-technical exec can act on is as much a part of this job as reading logs. You'll also work closely with other analysts, verifying each other's findings before anything gets escalated further.
