Security Engineer, GIOC

Role description

Role Overview

The Security Engineer is the entry point of the GIOC incident lifecycle for the security tower. You monitor security signals, acknowledge and triage alerts within defined first-response SLAs, execute documented runbooks to investigate and contain common security events, and escalate cleanly to Senior Security when an alert falls outside L1 scope.

What You Will Do

Monitor security signals, acknowledge and triage alerts, execute documented runbooks, and escalate unresolved or out-of-scope alerts to Senior Security Engineers.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You must be comfortable working a rotational shift model — including nights, weekends, and holidays — to sustain the coverage. Success is measured by first-response SLA adherence, triage accuracy, and runbook resolution rate.

Requirements

• Graduate/Engineer in a relevant field (B.E./B.tech or equivalent)
• 3–5 years of experience in a SOC, security operations, or IT operations, including hands-on security monitoring and alert triage
• Working knowledge of security fundamentals — authentication and access, common attack types, logging, and endpoint/network telemetry
• Familiarity with SIEM and alert-triage concepts, log analysis, and basic threat investigation
• Understanding of incident-management fundamentals and severity-based triage
• Exposure to monitoring/observability tools and ticketing systems (SIEM consoles, alerting, ITSM)
• Strong written communication for accurate documentation and clean escalation handoffs; willingness and ability to work a rotational 24x7 shift model, including nights, weekends, and holidays
• Proficient in English verbal and written communication
