Here’s what you can expect: Competitive base Flexible work model: hybrid, remote, or in-office Real growth opportunities and leadership visibility Inclusive, respectful culture that blends U.S. innovation with Colombian heart A company that listens, invests in you, and celebrates wins together   The Tier 2 SOC Analyst is a senior escalation point and operational leader within the security operations team, serving a US higher-education client . You take what Tier 1 escalates, scope the incident, execute containment within your authority, and make the critical call on when to wake a client's dedicated security engineer . Moving beyond simply processing a queue, you will actively tune detection rules to eliminate noise, ensuring the queue is trusted and accurate . This role offers protected time to improve detection content and serves as a natural progression path toward a dedicated client-facing engineering role . What you will do: Incident Escalation & Containment Own escalations from Tier 1, taking responsibility for scoping, enrichment, and deciding if an event constitutes a true incident . Execute containment actions (host isolation, account disablement, edge blocking) following client rules of engagement, balancing swift action with the judgment to not break production environments . Manage the handover process and make the decision to wake the client's dedicated engineer when necessary . Produce incident write-ups that are clear and accessible enough for a client CIO to read without a translator . Detection Engineering & Mentorship Improve detection content by tuning rules, cutting false positives, and proposing new analytics to close visibility gaps . Coach and mentor Tier 1 analysts, treating their escalation quality as a direct reflection of your output . Tools & Technologies: SIEM: Microsoft Sentinel in depth, including writing and tuning analytics rules in KQL . Cloud Security: Entra ID and identity attack paths (OAuth consent abuse, token theft, privilege escalation) . Automation (Bonus): SOAR playbooks, Logic Apps, Python . What you bring: Experience: Four or more years in security operations, with genuine escalation ownership rather than just accumulating queue time . Hands-on Skills: Deep Microsoft Sentinel and KQL experience, and the ability to walk through an incident response end-to-end—including a case that went badly and how you adapted . Communication: Fluent English, strong enough to confidently brief a client executive directly, both in writing and on a call . Mindset: Judgement-oriented and proactive. You have the confidence to contain threats without breaking production, and the humility to admit when containment is the wrong call . You are expected to improve detection content, not only consume it . Availability: Ability to work extended business hours and share an on-call rotation for overnight escalations . Bonus Qualifications: Formal detection engineering experience, threat intelligence or purple-team exposure, or automation skills . Relevant certifications such as SC-200, GCIA, GCIH, or equivalent, and experience in regulated environments (education, healthcare, or financial services) .
