Security Operations Center Analyst

Castellum Labs is actively seeking Security Operations Center (SOC) Analysts, including L1 and L2 roles, for full-time, in-office positions based in Hyderabad, India. This role requires 24x7 monitoring of enterprise customers, involving vigilant observation, alert analysis, case management, incident reporting, and forensic investigation. Analysts will operate on a rotational shift basis. L1 analysts will concentrate on monitoring and incident detailing, while L2 analysts will focus on incident analysis, data collection, and report preparation.

We are looking for candidates with a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years of experience, preferably from SOC technology companies rather than service companies. Individuals with a strong background in networking and system administration who have transitioned into security are highly preferred. A demonstrable passion for cybersecurity, evidenced by projects or relevant work, is essential.

Key responsibilities include alert monitoring and analysis, establishing observables, raw log fetching and analysis, intelligence correlation, incident reporting, dashboard-based outlier monitoring, managing the incident lifecycle, and developing SOAR automation for customers. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, driven to continuously learn cybersecurity, and possess practical experience with Linux, GitHub, and Git tools. A strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals, basic knowledge of shell and Python, familiarity with various cyber attack types, and a deep comprehension of the MITRE framework and the cyber kill chain in real-time monitoring contexts are required.

This is not a 9 to 5 role and demands deep involvement without strict time constraints. A genuine intent to delve deeply into all aspects of cybersecurity across the entire spectrum is crucial. This position is specifically for SOC analysis and is not a penetration testing role.

Please note:

• Immediate joiners are preferred.
• This is a full-time position requiring in-office work only.
• Candidates should not be looking for a generic job profile, high salary, a specific designation, or a 9 to 5 schedule.

Applications will be reviewed and closed within a week. Please apply within the next three days.
