SOC Analyst

You will be the only SOC analyst based in Israel, while the rest of the analyst team operates from the Philippines. You will act as the SOCs local anchor - the on-site technical counterpart for the Israel-based Cyber Security, IT, Operations, and R&D teams, and the escalation and knowledge bridge between them and the offshore shifts. The role calls for ownership, independence, and the appetite to build and improve, not only to operate.

Responsibilities

Monitoring and Detection: Continuously monitor SIEM, endpoint protection (EDR), IPS, mail security, CASB, cloud, and identity security solutions to identify potential threats.
Incident Response: Serve as one of the first levels of escalation for security incidents - investigate, contain, and drive resolution before escalating to the senior SecOps members, in accordance with defined procedures and SLAs.
Incident Coordination: Lead coordination of major incidents until ownership is transferred to the relevant SecOps, IT, Operations, or R&D team; ensure clear communication, escalation, and tracking of action items.
Threat Analysis: Analyze logs, network traffic, endpoint telemetry, and native (in-tool) alerts to determine root cause, scope, impact, and remediation steps.
SIEM and Detection Engineering: Own day-to-day operation of the SIEM - data onboarding and ingest pipelines, field mapping and data quality, dashboards and platform health - and write, tune, and maintain detection rules while measuring their effectiveness.
Exclusion and Exception Management: Own the exclusion and exception lifecycle across the security stack: review requests, assess risk, apply scoped, time-bound exclusions, and revalidate them periodically.
Automation and AI-Assisted Operations: Build and maintain automations across the SOC toolchain (enrichment, containment, ticketing, reporting), and design, implement, and validate AI/LLM-based workflows for alert triage, investigation support, and documentation - including guardrails and quality control of AI output.
Investigation Documentation: Create and maintain detailed incident tickets, including investigation audit trail, action items, and timelines.
Technical Leadership: Act as the senior operational reference for the analyst team: help prioritize workload, assure investigation quality, maintain consistent handling of incidents, escalations, and shift handovers, and mentor analysts on tooling and methodology.
Collaboration: Work closely with the Cyber Security team, IT, Operations, and R&D locally, and with the offshore SOC team across time zones.
Continuous Improvement: Drive improvements to detection logic, automation, operational runbooks, and shift handover documentation based on lessons learned from incidents.
Compliance and Reporting: Support reporting for compliance audits, management reviews, and threat intelligence updates.
