Incident Response Analyst

Location: Hybrid,Tampa, FL / Remote

While proximity to Tampa is preferred to support a hybrid schedule in our Tampa Center of Excellence, we’re open to remote candidates who can support the Eastern Time Zone.

Reporting to the Manager of Adversary Response, the Incident Response Analyst operates on the front lines of active cyber conflict—defending organizations against sophisticated, real-world adversaries. This is a mission-critical role for practitioners who thrive in high-pressure environments and are driven to outpace, outthink, and disrupt advanced threat actors.
As a primary responder during live incident engagements, you will lead hands-on investigations into complex intrusions, leveraging advanced EDR and detection platforms to trace attacker behavior, contain threats in real time, and eradicate adversary presence at its source.
This role demands sharp analytical instincts, technical depth, and a relentless curiosity—paired with the discipline to execute under pressure. You won’t just respond to incidents; you’ll play a key role in defending critical environments, strengthening resilience, and raising the bar against an ever-evolving threat landscape.

In this role, you’ll get to:

Lead end-to-end incident response engagements within customer environments, driving rapid investigation, containment, and remediation of active threats
Conduct deep-dive forensic and malware analysis to uncover adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), translating findings into actionable intelligence
Proactively hunt for advanced threats through hypothesis-driven threat hunting across diverse data sources and telemetry
Triage and validate suspicious activity using a combination of open-source intelligence (OSINT), proprietary intelligence, and behavioral analysis
Own the documentation of incidents, ensuring clear, defensible reporting and timeline reconstruction within case management systems
Identify and operationalize new adversary techniques, tools, and tradecraft—scaling knowledge across the team to strengthen collective defense
Maintain a constant pulse on the evolving threat landscape, applying emerging intelligence to real-world investigations
Surface visibility gaps in logging, telemetry, and detection coverage, and partner with stakeholders to enhance overall security posture
Collaborate cross-functionally to develop and refine detection content, response playbooks, and threat intelligence outputs
Serve as a trusted advisor to customers, confidently guiding them through the full incident response lifecycle—from initial compromise to full remediation and recovery

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

Proven, hands-on experience leading incident response investigations, with the ability to independently scope, analyze, and drive complex engagements to resolution
A track record of operating in high-volume, high-complexity environments (e.g., MDR, MSSP, consulting, or enterprise IR teams), with exposure to a wide range of real-world incidents and adversary scenarios
Deep expertise with Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) platforms such as SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, and CrowdStrike, including advanced querying, triage, and response actions
Strong command of incident response methodologies and frameworks (e.g., NIST, PICERL), with the ability to apply them dynamically in fast-moving, ambiguous situations
Experience leveraging SIEM, SOAR, case management, and threat intelligence platforms to investigate, correlate, and respond to threats at scale
A solid understanding of attacker methodologies, including common and emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), with the ability to map activity to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
Exceptional communication skills, with experience presenting technical findings and strategic recommendations to both technical teams and executive stakeholders
The ability to operate as a trusted advisor during high-pressure incidents—bringing clarity, structure, and confidence to customer engagements

Note: This role is best suited for practitioners who have been deeply immersed in live incident response environments and have built pattern recognition across numerous engagements. Candidates with limited exposure to real-world incidents may find the pace, ambiguity, and complexity of this role challenging.
