• Communicate security findings and remediation guidance in clear, actionable terms.
• Support security training and awareness initiatives.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in security operations, SOC operations, incident response, or infosec analysis.
• Solid knowledge of SIEM platforms, log aggregation, security monitoring tools, analysing firewall logs.
• Hands-on experience investigating security incidents and performing detailed log analysis.
• Demonstrated experience with firewall and network security tools (Palo Alto, pfSense, Nokia, OpnSense, or similar).
• Proven understanding of cloud platform security, Kubernetes, and containerized environments.
• Familiarity with NIST incident response framework and incident response procedures, vulnerability management and threat assessment methodologies.

Nice To Have

• Knowledge of datacentre operations (GPU or AL/ML infrastructure is welcome), infrastructure monitoring, or network operations.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS.
