Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Job Overview

As a SecOps Analyst at Saronic, you'll be on the front line of our detection and response operations, triaging and investigating security alerts across endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and SaaS telemetry using our SIEM and XDR platforms. You'll run root cause analysis on real events, lead initial response for mid-tier incidents (contain, eradicate, recover), and tune detections to cut down on noise and sharpen what actually matters. Beyond the day-to-day, you'll join the on-call rotation, run targeted threat hunts to catch what automation misses, help build out our playbooks and runbooks, and contribute to post-incident reviews that turn gaps into real improvements. This is an early, formative role on a SecOps team being built from the ground up, so you'll have a direct hand in shaping how we operate, with room to grow across security domains rather than being boxed into one lane.

Responsibilities

Detection & Alert Operations

Monitor and triage security alerts across endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and SaaS telemetry using enterprise SIEM and XDR platforms

Perform in-depth alert investigation and root cause analysis, documenting findings with clear, structured timelines and impact assessments

Tune detections to reduce false positive noise and improve signal fidelity; contribute to detection-as-code pipelines using structured query languages

Operate across multiple detection and visibility platforms as part of a maturing, layered security monitoring ecosystem

Incident Response & Investigation

Lead initial incident response for mid-tier events: contain, eradicate, and recover across endpoint, cloud, and identity domains

Participate in the on-call incident rotation and effectively communicate status and findings to the SecOps Lead and relevant stakeholders

Conduct post-incident reviews, identifying gaps in detection, response, and containment and translating them into actionable improvements

Coordinate with Security Engineering and IT during active incidents to accelerate response and reduce dwell time

SecOps Foundation & Enablement

Support the SecOps Lead in developing and refining response playbooks, runbooks, and analyst workflow documentation

Conduct targeted threat hunting operations to identify attacker activity not surfaced by automated detections

Contribute to SecOps metrics tracking, reporting, and operational readiness reviews

Help onboard and mentor junior analysts as the team grows, serving as a technical resource and process guide

Qualifications

3+ years of hands-on experience in a Security Operations, detection engineering, or incident response role

Demonstrated experience triaging and investigating alerts across at least two of the following: endpoint, cloud, identity, network, or SaaS environments

Hands-on proficiency with enterprise SIEM platforms and their query languages; ability to write and iterate on detection logic from scratch

Experience with EDR tooling in an operational context; ability to hunt, triage, and respond using endpoint telemetry

Solid understanding of attacker TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and the ability to apply that knowledge during active investigations

Experience writing or iterating on detection logic, response playbooks, or SOC operational documentation

Scripting proficiency in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for alert enrichment, automation, or triage support

Strong understanding of network fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, firewall and proxy logs, and lateral movement patterns

Clear and structured written and verbal communication — you can brief a non-technical stakeholder and write a thorough incident report

Ownership mindset: you follow incidents through to closure and flag what needs to be fixed, not just what needs to be documented
Security Clearance eligible

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with XDR platforms and cross-domain correlated detection across endpoint, identity, and cloud

Familiarity with cloud-native security operations and log sources in AWS or Azure environments

Experience with SOAR platforms or building response automation workflows

Exposure to supply chain and CI/CD pipeline security monitoring

Familiarity with data lake-based or pipeline-driven detection architectures

Experience operating in or supporting classified, GovCloud, or FedRAMP environments

Background in defense, aerospace, robotics, or other high-assurance operational environments

Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, or CMMC

Relevant certifications: GIAC GCIH, GCIA, GCFE, BTL1/2, CySA+, OSCP, or equivalent

Active security clearance or prior clearance history is a strong differentiator

Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
Occasional standing and walking within the office
Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
