Description
Astranis is looking for a Security Operations Engineer who isn't afraid to dive headfirst into the digital abyss. Our ideal candidate is a seasoned defender with the technical depth to not only triage complex threats but to oversee the very systems that keep us secure.
As a Tier 2/3 escalation point, you will be the backbone of our defense, untangling advanced malware, neutralizing sophisticated phishing schemes, and leading high-stakes incident response operations. In an environment where threats evolve at breakneck speed, we need a resourceful engineer who can engineer resilience, mentor junior analysts, and protect our digital frontier with precision.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as the Tier 2/3 escalation point for complex security events, investigating and resolving high-severity incidents escalated from initial monitoring tiers.
- Oversee and optimize security infrastructure, ensuring that Google SecOps (Chronicle) and other SIEM/SOAR tools are tuned for maximum visibility and efficiency.
- Lead the charge during active incident response operations, coordinating across teams to contain threats and performing deep-dive post-incident forensics.
- Perform deep-tissue analysis of malware to understand behavior and origins, using that intelligence to build proactive technical controls.
- Create, integrate, and maintain custom security tools and automated playbooks to streamline the 'detect-to-remediate' lifecycle.
- Investigate advanced phishing vectors and implement systemic preventive measures; assist in high-level purple team exercises to validate our posture.
Requirements:
- 3–5 years of experience in a dedicated security operations or engineering role.
- Tier 2/3 Expertise: Proven track record of handling complex escalations and leading incident response efforts.
- Technical Depth: Advanced experience in malware analysis, digital forensics, and neutralizing sophisticated phishing campaigns.
- Systems Mastery: Strong understanding of security standards, hardening principles, and the ability to oversee enterprise-grade security platforms.
- Problem Solving: Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to think like an attacker to better defend the system.
- Communication: Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable leadership briefings.

All our positions offer a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits. Base pay is just one component of Astranis's total rewards package. Your compensation also includes a significant equity package via incentive stock options, high-quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance, 401(k) retirement planning, flexible PTO, and free on-site catered meals.
