Overview:
• The client is looking for an IT security analyst for its SOC, positioned at level 2: alerts reach this person already escalated by level 1, and the person in turn acts as the technical escalation point for those analysts.
• The work centres on investigation: qualifying phishing, account compromise, malware or lateral movement cases, correlating events across several platforms, then enriching them with logs, indicators of compromise and threat intelligence.
• The person determines verdict, severity and impact, then recommends or initiates first measures according to established processes, with incident response remaining initial and carried out with other teams.
• The form title specifies no level, while the full set of responsibilities describes a level 2 role.
• The Talents and qualifications section is empty: no degree, certification, language or named tool is required, so assessment rests entirely on the activity profile.
• Target candidate: a QA qualified with at least 10 years in IT, including 5 years in testing, who has coordinated testing within agile teams and uses JIRA, XRAY,



Cypress and Playwright in recent mandates.
• Group insurance exposure or an integration project will set apart otherwise equal candidates. Requirements Required:
• Analysis and qualification of escalated alerts (phishing, account compromise, malware, lateral movement)
• Event correlation (SIEM, XDR, EDR, identity, email, network, cloud)
• Alert enrichment (logs, indicators of compromise, threat intelligence)
• Determination of verdict, severity, potential impact and required actions
• Initial mitigation, containment or escalation measures, recommended or initiated per processes
• Documentation of investigations, findings, decisions and actions
• First-level technical analysis of endpoint and network logs and artefacts
• Support and coaching of level 1 SOC analysts on complex cases
• Improvement of detection rules, investigation queries, runbooks and playbooks
• Use of approved AI and automation tools (triage, enrichment, documentation)
