SOC Analyst
Sydney | Melbourne | Brisbane | Hybrid Work Model | Competitive base + super + benefits
Some SOC roles keep you on one platform, working the same queue every day. This one puts you across SIEM, XDR, EDR, Microsoft security and Linux, on customer environments that are never the same twice. We are looking for a SOC Analyst to join our Security Operations Centre, working across detection, response and continuous improvement.
You will analyse complex events, lead incident response, hunt for emerging threats and shape the detections that keep our customers protected, while mentoring junior analysts and lifting capability across the team. If you are ready to take on more, not just more of the same, this is the role.

What You’ll Be Doing
You will sit inside our Security Operations Centre, working across daily operations, threat analysis and proactive defence for a broad customer base. Your work moves between the immediate and the strategic, triaging and resolving live events one moment, then improving the detections that catch the next one. You will work closely with your SOC peers to strengthen detection capability and deliver outcomes customers can see. There is real scope here to shape how we detect, not just how we respond.
Investigate SIEM events, track emerging threats and uncover intrusion attempts
Own incident response from triage through escalation to resolution
Analyse phishing activity, suspicious domains and IP addresses to identify genuine risk quickly
Lead threat hunting and vulnerability assessments across customer environments
Build high fidelity detections through alert tuning, rule creation and system improvements
Mentor junior analysts and lift capability across the wider SOC
What You’ll Bring
The Essentials
3+ years working with modern detection and response tooling including SIEM, XDR and EDR
Solid grounding in Microsoft security technologies, with confidence working across Linux or Unix environments
Background in enterprise scale security operations, with exposure to incident response and digital forensics
Working knowledge of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST and ISO 27000
A clear communicator who can translate technical detail for any audience
Bonus Points
Broad understanding of cloud, networking and firewall technologies
Experience with vulnerability management tooling such as Rapid7, Tenable or Qualys
Familiarity with ITSM platforms and processes
Even if you don’t tick every box, don’t let that hold you back as we have a number of positions at varying levels. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d genuinely love to hear from you!
