About Mjolnir Security Mjolnir Security is a Canadian MSSP and DFIR firm with deep expertise in Microsoft 365 security, endpoint detection and response, threat intelligence, and digital forensics. We operate a proprietary AI-augmented security operations platform and serve enterprise clients in banking, automotive, education, and regulated sectors. All operations are Canadian-data-resident by design.
The Role We're hiring a Security Analyst to join our security operations and DFIR practice. You'll support threat monitoring, incident triage, log analysis, M365 security investigations, and endpoint forensics across a portfolio of enterprise clients. You'll work alongside senior DFIR and M365 specialists and be expected to grow fast - this is a hands-on role from day one.
What You'll Do Monitor client environments for security events, anomalies, and indicators of compromise using SIEM, EDR, and proprietary tooling
Triage and investigate alerts, escalating confirmed incidents per established playbooks
Conduct M365 log analysis including Unified Audit Log, Entra ID sign-in logs, and Exchange/Teams telemetry
Support DFIR engagements: evidence acquisition, chain-of-custody documentation, timeline reconstruction, and report contribution
Write and refine detection rules, Suricata signatures, and threat hunting queries
Contribute to threat intelligence briefs (BLUF format): IOC enrichment, OSINT research, and context development
Assist with client vulnerability assessments and security posture reviews
Document findings clearly for both technical audiences and executive summaries




Support the deployment and tuning of security controls including DLP policies, conditional access, and endpoint agents
What You Bring 1-3 years of experience in a SOC, MSSP, IT security, or DFIR-adjacent role
Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 security: Defender for Endpoint/Identity/O365, Entra ID, Purview
Familiarity with SIEM concepts and log analysis (Sumo Logic, Sentinel, or similar)
Understanding of common attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK;), phishing chains, and ransomware tradecraft
Exposure to network-level security: Suricata, Zeek, firewall log analysis, or packet capture
Strong written communication - you can write a coherent incident summary under pressure
Security certifications (SC-200, Security+, CySA+, BTL1, or equivalent) are an asset
Hands-on experience with forensic tools (Magnet AXIOM, Velociraptor, or similar) is a strong advantage
Python or PowerShell scripting for automation or log parsing is a plus
Why Join Us Work real DFIR cases and live SOC operations - not a training lab
Exposure to a proprietary AI-augmented SOC platform and 90+ internal security tools
Mentorship from senior DFIR and M365 specialists with 17+ years of enterprise experience
Transparent path to Senior Analyst or DFIR Specialist with hands-on case ownership
Competitive compensation, hybrid flexibility, and the pace of a firm that builds and ships
Location requirement: Candidates must reside in the Greater Toronto Area. This hybrid role requires in-person availability at our office or client sites up to three days per week. Relocation assistance and travel reimbursement are not available for this position.
