This role is designed for someone who is ready to grow beyond traditional analyst responsibilities and move deeper into security engineering, automation, cloud security, detection engineering, and AI-assisted security operations.\nYou will help build, operate, and improve a modern SOC that uses automation, agentic workflows, AI-assisted investigation, and security engineering practices to improve detection, triage, response, and overall security visibility. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, improving systems, and building security capabilities rather than only monitoring alerts.\nThe ideal candidate has 2-3 years of cybersecurity experience, a strong SOC foundation, hands-on AWS knowledge, Python proficiency, and experience working with SIEM data and log pipelines. We are looking for someone motivated, curious, and eager to grow into a stronger security engineer within a modern, engineering-driven SOC model.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nSecurity Engineering: Build, maintain, and improve security workflows, integrations, detection processes, and operational tooling within an agentic SOC.\nAgentic SOC Operations: Work with automation, AI-assisted workflows, and agent-based capabilities that support alert triage, investigation, enrichment, and response.\nSIEM Log Flow Development: Help design, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot log ingestion flows into the SIEM from AWS, applications, infrastructure, endpoint tools, and security platforms.\nDetection Engineering: Create, tune, and maintain detection rules, alert logic, dashboards, playbooks, and investigation workflows.\nPython Automation: Develop Python scripts and automations for alert enrichment, data processing, reporting, workflow improvement, and security operations support.\nCloud Security Monitoring: Support cloud security logging, monitoring, IAM reviews, and cloud detection use cases.\nSOC Operations: Review, analyze, and correlate security alerts and logs to identify suspicious activity and support investigations.\nIncident Response Support: Assist with security event investigations, escalation, containment, remediation, and post-incident improvements.\nProcess Improvement: Help improve SOC processes, playbooks, detection coverage, documentation, and response workflows.\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with security, cloud, IT, and engineering teams to improve visibility, reduce risk, and strengthen security operations.\nRequirements\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:\nExperience: 2-3 years of experience in cybersecurity, SOC operations, security engineering, cloud security, detection engineering, or incident response.\nAWS Knowledge: Working knowledge of AWS services, cloud security fundamentals, logging, monitoring, IAM, and basic cloud architecture.\nAWS Certification: AWS entry-level certification required at minimum, such as AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. AWS Solutions Architect - Associate or AWS Security Specialty is a plus.\nPython Proficiency: Hands-on proficiency with Python for scripting, automation, data processing, security tooling, or workflow development.\nSIEM Experience: Experience working with SIEM platforms, including log ingestion, parsing, alerting, dashboards, and detection logic.\nLog Pipeline Experience: Experience building, maintaining, or troubleshooting log flows from applications, infrastructure, AWS services, endpoint tools, or security platforms into a SIEM.\nSOC Foundation: Strong understanding of SOC workflows, alert triage, investigation, escalation, and incident response processes.\nDetection Knowledge: Ability to help develop, tune, and improve detections based on logs, threat behavior, and operational needs.\nAgentic SOC Familiarity: Familiarity with agentic concepts, agentic frameworks, AI-assisted workflows, autonomous or semi-autonomous agents, and practical security operations use cases.\nNICE TO HAVE:\nAgentic/AI Security Use Cases: Hands-on exposure to LLMs, AI agents, agentic workflows, or AI-assisted security operations.\nDetection Languages: Experience with Sigma, SPL, KQL, SQL, YARA, or similar detection/query languages.\nInfrastructure as Code: Familiarity with Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or similar tools.\nCOMPENSATION INFORMATION:\nCompensation Range: $120,000-$150,000.\nThe range represents total compensation, and may include incentive for sales roles, equity or benefits, as applicable.\nThis compensation range represents Cyera’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of posting, and Cyera may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range.
