About the role

We’re looking for a Security Analyst to join our Managed Security Services team in Brisbane, supporting a portfolio of enterprise customer environments across security monitoring, incident investigation, detection improvement and threat hunting.

This is a hands‑on security operations role suited to someone with practical SOC or security operations experience who wants to continue building their capability across a variety of customer environments.

You’ll work alongside experienced Senior Analysts and Technical Leads, gaining exposure to complex investigations, customer‑specific security challenges and a broad range of technologies.

What you’ll be doing

- Monitor and investigate security alerts across enterprise customer environments
- Analyse security events using SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk
- Investigate suspicious activity across identity, cloud, endpoint and network telemetry
- Support incident response activities including investigation, scoping,



containment and escalation
- Work with technologies including Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike and Cortex XDR
- Tune existing detections and help reduce false positives and alert noise
- Assist with the development of new detections and customer‑specific security use cases
- Participate in threat hunting activities based on threat intelligence, customer concerns or identified indicators
- Identify gaps in logging, detections and security visibility
- Support vulnerability management activities, including reviewing and prioritising findings
- Communicate security findings and recommendations clearly to customers and internal stakeholders
- Contribute to automation, process improvement and broader SOC capability development
- Work closely with Senior Analysts and Technical Leads on complex investigations and escalations
- Participate in the team’s rotating on‑call roster for after‑hours escalations

- Practical experience working in a SOC, MSSP, MDR or security operations environment
- Hands‑on experience investigating security alerts and incidents
- Experience with a SIEM such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk or a comparable platform
- Exposure to EDR/XDR platforms such as Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike or Cortex XDR
- Understanding of common identity and account compromise scenarios




- Exposure to Microsoft Azure, Entra ID or broader cloud security environments
- An understanding of incident response and security investigation methodologies
- Experience analysing logs and correlating activity across multiple data sources
- Exposure to detection tuning, detection engineering or threat hunting
- A positive understanding of common attacker behaviours and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK;
- The ability to look beyond simply closing an alert and understand why it triggered, what happened, what may be affected and what action should be taken next
- The ability to connect technical findings to customer risk and communicate recommendations clearly
- Curiosity, sound judgement and a willingness to challenge assumptions and investigate beyond the obvious
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience with vulnerability management platforms such as Tenable or Qualys would be advantageous but is not essential.
