Job description

Somewhere right now, a bot is quietly probing a firewall for a weak spot. That's the world this Network Security Operations Analyst role lives in - remote, hands-on, and never quite predictable. Naukri Mitra has openings on both full-time and part-time tracks, so whether you want this as your main gig or something that fits around other commitments, there's a lane for you. This isn't a passive monitoring seat where alerts pile up, and someone else deals with them. You're the one triaging what's noise and what's a genuine threat, then acting on it before it turns into a bigger mess.

The Shape of a Typical Week Search "network security analyst work from home," and you'll find plenty of listings that are vague about actual duties. This one isn't. Here's what fills your days:

• Watching network traffic in real time and flagging anomalies before they elevate
• Running vulnerability assessments across systems and prioritizing what needs fixing first
• Configuring and tuning firewalls so they're actually stopping what they're supposed to stop
• Responding to security incidents - containing, investigating, and documenting as you go
• Applying cybersecurity frameworks consistently rather than improvising each time
• Working alongside a distributed team to close gaps and harden defenses over time
• Adjusting quickly when new attack patterns or threat types show up

What You'll Need to Bring

• Hands-on experience with network monitoring and cybersecurity tools
• A working grasp of common security frameworks and how incident response actually plays out
• Sharp analytical instincts - the ability to separate a false alarm from a real breach quickly
• Comfort configuring and troubleshooting firewalls and related network defenses
• Strong problem-solving skills paired with genuine attention to detail
• The independence to manage your own workload in a fully virtual setup, plus the collaboration skills to loop in your team when something bigger surfaces

Bonus Points If You Have These

• Exposure to a recognized cybersecurity certification or framework-specific training
• Experience working security operations for a remote or distributed organization
• Familiarity with SIEM tools or similar threat-detection platforms
• A track record of handling live incident response, not just theoretical scenarios

Support You Can Actually Count On

Naukri Mitra puts real effort into pairing candidates with roles where they can genuinely grow, and that shows up here in the form of ongoing guidance rather than just handing them a login and leaving them to figure things out. The team communicates constantly, even remotely - shared incident logs, quick check-ins when something's live, and a culture where flagging a concern early is treated as a strength, not a nuisance.

Pay and Schedule

• Full-time pays $39,000 per year.
• Part-time hours are also open right now, with compensation adjusted to match - same expectations around quality, just fewer hours on the clock.
• Full-time hires receive comprehensive benefits alongside their salary.

Where This Leads

Security operations experience opens doors - toward incident response leadership, threat intelligence, or broader infrastructure security roles later on. The tools and frameworks you'll work with here are the same ones referenced across much of the industry, so what you build now travels well.
