  • Collaborate with senior engineers on audit and remediation projects, adding technical depth and solutions.
Qualifications
  • 12+ months of hands-on SOC experience (we're looking for proven capability, not a helpdesk step-up).

  • Experience with vulnerability management tools such as Tenable or Nessus.
