SOC Analyst
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · Remote · FULL TIME
About the role
Junior SOC Analyst talent pool in Riyadh, focused on a shift the next analyst can continue.
Profiles in this pool are matched to SOC Analyst assignments with a hiring base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The emphasis is a shift the next analyst can continue. Day to day that means writing the handover, naming the next action, and leaving searches another person can rerun.
Responsibilities
- Brief the incoming analyst on the handover brief and state how you checked the next action.
- Accept the handed-over saved search only when the note covering a query that only you can read is attached.
- Turn a vague request into one concrete watch list before work starts, and list the items that are not yet incidents.
- Protect time every shift for the contact card so you are not still dealing with the who to call for a critical case in the last hour.
- Leave the tool issue so the next person knows what to watch regarding a console that is down.
- Close open questions on the open-case list instead of parking them, and record the decision on an owner for each case.
Requirements
- Roughly 1 to 3 years of working a security operations shift that matches this soc analyst profile, or a shorter record with the same kind of finished work.
- Practical skill with a SIEM-style console, tickets, and written handovers in soc analyst work, not a certificate alone.
- Able to explain what the next analyst must do first to a colleague who was not in the room.
- Careful with searches that cannot be repeated; this is checked in review of soc analyst work.
- For the soc analyst brief in Riyadh, use the working language of that assignment in Saudi Arabia.
Nice to have
- Saved searches is useful on soc analyst assignments in Riyadh, and it is not required.
- People who have already done watch lists can start this soc analyst brief with less coaching.
- Clean handovers is a plus for soc analyst work based in Riyadh.
