SOC Team Lead

About Baton Rouge Cyber

We are 11 people, all hands-on, and the founders still run engagements themselves.

The position

Baton Rouge Cyber is hiring an SOC Team Lead to work remotely from India. We need someone who writes up incidents clearly enough that the next shift can pick them up without asking. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in India, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Responsibilities

• Review firewall, proxy, VPN and authentication logs for suspicious activity
• Write and update SOC runbooks and playbooks
• Run vulnerability scans with Tenable Nessus, Qualys or Rapid7 and track remediation with system owners
• Report on security awareness training and phishing simulation results
• Document incidents with timeline, impact and root cause
• Monitor and triage alerts in Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar or Elastic SIEM

What you'll need

• 7+ years in an SOC, security analyst or IT security role
• Must be able to pass a background check
• Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework
• CompTIA Security+ or equivalent (or ability to obtain within six months)
• Basic scripting in PowerShell or Python
• Understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP and common ports and protocols

Preferred

• Prior help desk or network administration experience
• Malware analysis in a sandbox

Schedule: Second shift, 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM, Monday to Friday

Why work with us

• Performance bonus
• 20 days paid time off
• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner
• Annual salary review
• Paid parental leave

Candidates must be eligible to work in India.

Start: Immediately.
