looking_for : SOC Analyst / Security Analyst roles — in-house SOC, MSSP or MDRI'm a cybersecurity undergraduate who works on the blue team with a red-team background. I monitor, triage and escalate: confirming or adjusting alert criticality, enriching events with context, filtering out false positives and handing real incidents to Tier 2 with clear, evidence-backed write-ups. My web-app pentesting background (OWASP Top 10, Burp Suite, Metasploit) means I know what an attack looks like before it shows up in the logs.
