Huntress is hiring a remote Security Operations Analyst in Australia to investigate, contain, and remediate active cyber threats within a human-led SOC. The role involves alert triage, endpoint and log analysis, malware investigation, forensic analysis, and producing actionable remediation guidance for customers. The analyst will also help improve detections, support SOC-related customer escalations, and collaborate with Product and Engineering teams. Candidates need at least two years of SOC, incident response, MDR, or digital forensics experience and practical knowledge of operating systems, networking, MITRE ATT&CK, and attacker tradecraft.

I would look for tools, memory-access behavior, suspicious privilege escalation, lateral movement, and related authentication events, then scope other potentially affected systems and recommend containment and credential-reset actions. Describe how you distinguish a true positive from a benign but unusual security alert. I correlate the alert with asset criticality, user context, process ancestry, command lines, historical behavior, network connections, and available threat intelligence. I document the evidence supporting the decision and, if the activity is benign but repeatedly noisy, recommend a narrowly scoped detection-tuning improvement rather than broadly suppressing the signal. What information would you seek when investigating a potentially compromised Microsoft 365 tenant? I would review sign-in logs, conditional-access results, MFA changes, mailbox forwarding rules, OAuth application grants, inbox rules, privileged role changes, and unusual file or email activity. I would identify the initial access path, determine the scope of affected accounts and data, revoke malicious sessions or tokens, reset credentials where appropriate, and provide prioritized remediation guidance. How do you use MITRE ATT&CK during an intrusion investigation? I use ATT&CK to map observed behavior to tactics and techniques, identify likely follow-on activity, and guide focused hunting. For example, evidence of credential access prompts checks for lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and exfiltration techniques that commonly follow in the same intrusion path. How would you use AI tools responsibly in daily SOC work? I would use AI to summarize large volumes of evidence, draft investigation notes, generate research leads, or assist with pattern analysis, while treating its output as untrusted until validated. Decisions affecting containment, customer communication, or remediation would always be verified against primary telemetry, logs, and established procedures. Opportunity details ## About this role.
