Security Operations Center Analyst - Australia

Reports to: Manager, Security Operations Center Location: Remote Australia Compensation Range: $110,000 to $140,000 AUD base plus bonus and equity


Position Overview

Huntress is seeking a SOC Analyst to join our rapidly growing Australia-based SOC team. This is a unique opportunity to be part of our mission to build the premier investigative team in Australia, protecting businesses from cyber threats while actively shaping the future of cybersecurity in the region.

At Huntress, we’re looking for passionate security practitioners who thrive on detecting and responding to cybercrime. If you love triaging pre-ransomware intrusions, tracking attackers through a network, and kicking them out before they achieve their objectives, this role is for you. Our analysts excel in triaging alerts, contextualising endpoint telemetry, analysing logs, leveraging forensic artifacts, and understanding malware, to unravel the full scope of an intrusion. You’ll also have the freedom to push your own detections and spend time hunting for novel attack activity, ensuring you’re always at the cutting edge of cybersecurity.

As an Analyst, in addition to triaging alerts and responding to intrusions, you’ll support efforts with sales, and collaborate with our Product team to help shape Huntress’ MDR service and platform. This role offers hands-on opportunities across Incident Response, Security Operations, Threat Hunting, and Detection Engineering, empowering you to grow your skills and make a real impact on the world.

At Huntress, we don’t just want you to succeed—we want you to thrive. This is why we prioritize helping our team members grow their personal brands in the broader security community. Whether it’s through blogs, conference talks, webinars, or research publications, we’ll support you in sharing your work with the world. We believe this not only elevates Huntress but also enhances your career development, building your reputation as a leading voice in cybersecurity.


Responsibilities

  • Investigate and Respond: Triage, investigate, respond to, and remediate alerts generated by the Huntress platform
  • Tactical Review: Review EDR telemetry, log sources, and forensic artifacts to determine the root cause of attacks where possible and provide remediations needed to remove the threat
  • Malware Analysis: Perform dynamic analysis of malware where required to extract indicators of compromise or determine malicious intent of a file
  • Threat Detection: Contribute to and refine detection capabilities by crafting and tuning signals to address emerging threats
  • Microsoft 365 Security: Investigate Microsoft 365 activity and deliver actionable remediation advice for compromised tenants
  • Continuous Improvement: Continue to regularly grow your skills and knowledge by using our real-world intrusion data and paid training opportunities on a regular basis

What You Bring To The Team

  • Security Enthusiasts: Practitioners with experience in cybersecurity.
