Job Description:

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on NOC Engineer who can also handle security monitoring and incidents. You'll monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve issues across our AWS and Kubernetes environments, respond to security alerts, and automate repetitive work — thinking clearly under pressure and owning incidents end to end

Network / Cloud Operations (NOC)

  • Monitor the health, availability and performance of AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, applications and networks, 24x7 on a rotational basis.
  • Act as L2 escalation point: triage, troubleshoot, debug and resolve incidents escalated from L1 or raised by monitoring tools.
  • Analyze logs, metrics and traces to find root causes across compute, network, storage, database and application layers.
  • Troubleshoot Kubernetes workloads (pods, deployments, services, ingress, nodes) using kubectl and related tools.
  • Escalate to engineering, cloud and vendor teams with clear, complete technical context when needed.
  • Tune alerts and dashboards to reduce noise and improve signal quality.
  • Support change, maintenance and release windows, including validation and rollback checks.

Security Operations (SOC)

  • Monitor security alerts from SIEM, cloud security tools (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail) and endpoint/network sources.
  • Triage, investigate and classify security events; separate false positives from real threats.
  • Execute first response on security incidents: containment, evidence collection, escalation and follow-up.
  • Identify suspicious activity such as unauthorized access, IAM misuse, unusual network traffic, malware or data exfiltration indicators.
  • Follow and improve security incident response playbooks.
  • Support vulnerability management, access reviews and audit evidence requests.

Automation and Continuous Improvement

  • Automate repetitive operational and security tasks using scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell, Go, etc.) or low-code / no-code tools (e.g., n8n, Zapier, Power Automate, SOAR platforms, Lambda, AWS Systems Manager).
  • Build auto-remediation, alert enrichment and ticket auto-creation workflows.
  • Write and maintain runbooks, SOPs and knowledge base articles.
  • Identify recurring issues and drive problem management to permanent fixes.

Incident, Ticketing and ITIL Process

  • Manage incidents, service requests, problems and changes in ticketing tools (e.g., Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Opsgenie).
  • Meet SLAs for acknowledgement, response and resolution.
  • Lead or support major incident bridges; provide clear status updates to stakeholders.
  • Write post-incident reviews / RCAs with action items.
  • Provide clean, documented shift handovers.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Strong communication and team coordination are mandatory. Security monitoring/incident response, automation, and troubleshooting/debugging are critical. AWS fundamentals, observability tooling, and ITIL/ticketing experience are high priority. Kubernetes is medium-to-high priority; coding in any language is a plus.

Specifically, we're looking for:

  • Hands-on security experience (SIEM tools, AWS security services, awareness of MITRE ATT&CK/OWASP Top 10)
  • A track record of automating manual work (scripting or low-code/no-code)
  • Working AWS knowledge (VPC, EC2, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.) and Kubernetes (EKS preferred)
  • Strong troubleshooting ability and comfort with Linux CLI
  • 3–6 years in NOC, SOC, cloud ops, or SRE/DevOps support, with ITIL and ticketing experience
  • Bachelor's degree in CS/IT/Electronics or equivalent experience

Good to Have

AWS/Security certifications (Security+, CEH, CKA), SOAR platform experience, Terraform/Git basics, and exposure to SOC 2/ISO 27001/GDPR.

Behavioral Competencies

Calm under pressure, strong communicator, ownership mindset, quick learner open to cross-training across NOC and SOC, and documents/hands over work cleanly.

Shift & Work Conditions

Rotational 24x5 today, expanding to 24x6/24x7 — includes night/weekend shifts and on-call per roster, with shift allowance and comp-off per policy.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
