What You'll Do
As a Tier 1 SOC Analyst, you’ll play a key role in identifying and assessing potential security threats. You’ll monitor alerts generated by endpoint detection and response (EDR) and security information and event management (SIEM) systems, evaluating each for legitimacy and urgency.
You’ll differentiate between routine noise and genuine incidents, enriching cases with relevant context and maintaining clear, consistent documentation. When necessary, you’ll escalate findings to senior team members, ensuring timely response.
This role offers hands-on exposure to real cybersecurity operations, supported by structured onboarding and close collaboration within a skilled, international team.
Requirements
We’re looking for candidates with a foundational grasp of IT systems, including networks, operating systems, and infrastructure. You should have a basic understanding of cybersecurity terminology—such as logs, alerts, and incident handling—and some exposure to security operations through academic work, internships, or prior roles.
Attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks are essential. You must be able to communicate clearly and document your work effectively in English, which is the primary language of internal communication. Fluency in German or Dutch is required to support client interactions.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with EDR or SIEM platforms is an advantage. Familiarity with scripting languages like Python or Bash can help in automating basic tasks. Any prior hands-on work in a SOC or related environment will strengthen your application.
Benefits
You’ll contribute to a mission focused on strengthening cybersecurity across Europe, working alongside professionals from national CERTs, intelligence backgrounds, and advanced technical fields. The team operates in a remote-friendly model, with quarterly in-person meetups and an annual company retreat held in locations across Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
Regular social events, including weekly lunches in the Netherlands and Thursday gatherings, help maintain strong team connections. The organization offers a flexible time-off policy that includes dedicated days for wellbeing and community service.
Work Environment
This is a hybrid role, with team members based in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Work is primarily remote, supported by regular collaboration and structured flexibility. The culture emphasizes learning, real-world impact, and inclusive teamwork across diverse professional and geographic backgrounds.
