Senior SOC Analyst

About This Role

• About the company

ProofOps is a cybersecurity services company helping organizations across the
UAE and Middle East strengthen their security posture through practical,
outcome-driven programs. Our operations are built around real-world detection,
investigation, and response—delivering measurable security outcomes for
customers across multiple industries.
We’re looking for a SOC Analyst (L2) with 3–5 years of hands-on experience who
can confidently triage alerts, investigate incidents, and communicate findings
with clarity and precision.

About the Role
As a SOC Analyst (L2), you will be responsible for validating and investigating
security alerts, correlating telemetry across multiple sources (SIEM/XDR/EDR,
network, cloud, identity, email), and driving incidents through closure with
strong evidence and documentation. You’ll also contribute to continuous
improvement through detection tuning, enrichment, and proactive threat
hunting.

What You’ll Do
 Monitor and triage alerts from SIEM/XDR/EDR and supporting security
telemetry; reduce noise through accurate validation.
 Investigate suspicious activity across endpoint, network, identity, cloud,
and email signals; determine scope, impact, and severity.
 Perform deeper analysis using relevant artifacts and logs (e.g., Windows
Event Logs/Sysmon, EDR telemetry, DNS/proxy/firewall logs, O365/Entra ID
logs where applicable).
 Manage incidents end-to-end: build timelines, capture evidence, identify
IOCs/TTPs, and recommend containment and remediation actions.
Escalate high-severity cases to senior analysts/IR with complete context,
evidence, and clear next steps.
 Produce customer-ready incident reports and shift handover notes with
high documentation quality.
 Support ongoing SOC maturity: detection tuning, enrichment, playbook
improvement, and participation in threat hunting activities.What You’ll Need

Must-have
 3–5 years of SOC experience (MSSP/MDR or internal SOC) with real alert
triage and investigation responsibility.
 Solid understanding of incident response lifecycle and investigation
methodology.
 Strong fundamentals in Windows security and common attack paths (AD
basics), plus networking fundamentals (DNS, HTTP/TLS).
 Experience working with SIEM/XDR and EDR tools and pivoting across
multiple log sources quickly.
 Strong written and verbal communication skills with disciplined case
documentation.
Preferred (nice-to-haave)
 Certifications such as CompTIA CySA+, BTLO, or equivalent.
 Exposure to cloud and SaaS security telemetry (Microsoft 365, Entra
ID/Azure, AWS, Google Workspace).
 Familiarity with threat intelligence enrichment (IOCs, TTPs, OSINT,
MISP/OpenCTI).
 Basic scripting skills (PowerShell/Python) for investigation support and
automation.

Benefits of working at ProofOps
 Competitive compensation + performance growth: Strong base with
clear performance-based progression.
 Training & certification budget: Support for blue-team training and
certifications (platform + investigation-focused).
 Hands-on real incident exposure: Work on diverse environments and
real-world investigations across multiple industries.
 Strong team collaboration: Clear escalation paths, mature runbooks, and
a culture that values evidence-led decisions.
 Career progression: Pathways into Senior SOC Analyst / Threat Hunter /
IR Analyst / Detection Engineer.
