Job summary

Knox Systems is seeking a senior security operations leader to own the evening shift (14:00–22:00) and set escalation criteria, run root cause analysis, and maintain runbooks for containment incidents. You will develop Tier 1/2 analysts and represent the team in incident reviews and FedRAMP evidence work.

The role emphasizes building a high-performing team, establishing standards, and ensuring quick, reliable responses to security events in a federal-scale environment.

Qualifications

• Five or more years in security operations, including time as the senior person on a floor.
• A track record of developing people, not only of resolving incidents.
• A strong grounding in cloud security monitoring, detection engineering and incident response.
• The confidence to set a standard and hold the team to it.

Responsibilities

• Lead the evening shift as the senior person on the floor from 14:00 to 22:00.
• Set the escalation criteria — what wakes a manager, what waits, and what the team handles alone.
• Run root cause on anything that reached containment, and update the runbook so it doesn’t recur.
• Set and hold the standard for shift logs, handovers and queue health across all shifts.
• Develop the Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts. Their readiness for promotion is part of your job.
• Represent the team in incident reviews and FedRAMP evidence work.
