Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a managed IT services company based in Atlanta, GA, for a Tier 2 SOC Analyst to join their around-the-clock security operations team. This is a chance to work at the front line of threat detection and response, protecting a diverse portfolio of client environments while working alongside a tight-knit, experienced security team that takes pride in catching what others miss.
Day to day, you will triage escalations from Tier 1 analysts, dig into alerts across SIEM and EDR platforms, and decide fast whether something is noise or a real incident in progress. The role suits someone who is calm under pressure, genuinely curious about attacker behavior, and comfortable owning an investigation from first alert through containment and documentation. If you like the adrenaline of active incident response paired with the structure of a mature SOC, this is a strong fit.
