Job Description

• Own Tier 2 escalations across endpoints, identity & access, collaboration tools, and core services—balancing fast resolution with long-term quality. • Investigate root causes of recurring issues and design durable fixes that prevent repeat incidents (vs. one-off workarounds). • Develop secure configuration standards and baselines spanning endpoints, GenAI, orchestration, and SaaS/cloud infrastructure, and iterate on them to support scale and reliability. • Shape incident/problem/change practices by proposing safe changes with clear rollback plans and improving how the team learns from incidents. • Create operational documentation (knowledge base articles, runbooks, reusable patterns) that reduces escalations and uplevels the service desk. • Triage and investigate security alerts in EDR/SIEM/SOAR, escalate effectively, and coordinate containment to recovery using playbooks with clear timelines. • Build and improve automations + analytics (GenAI/ML workflows, scripts/APIs, dashboards) to streamline tasks like alert enrichment, ticket routing, lifecycle changes, remediation flows, and ongoing operational reporting. • Partner on vulnerability and patch management by prioritizing issues, tracking remediation to SLAs, and verifying closure in measurable ways.

Job Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience with Python (or similar scripting languages) and APIs.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across endpoints, identity/access, and collaboration platforms; owning issues through to resolution.
  • Hands-on SecOps exposure using tools like EDR/SIEM/SOAR for alert triage, investigation, and incident handling (or closely related experience with the ability to ramp fast).
  • Data and analytics mindset with comfort pulling, cleaning, and analyzing operational data (tickets, alerts, logs) to guide decisions.
  • Automation capability using scripting (Python or similar), APIs, and/or orchestration—building safe, auditable workflows that may leverage GenAI/ML for enrichment or decision support.
  • Clear communicator who stays calm under pressure, comfortable navigating ambiguity and proposing structured solutions.
  • Demonstrated curiosity and learning agility, with interest in growing across IT, security, and data/automation.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development opportunities
