Alongside SOC work, you will play a central role in supporting IMC's regulatory obligations in India, preparing evidence and coordinating the cyber and systems audits that come with operating in this market. We offer an environment that lets you broaden and deepen your information security knowledge, with access to advanced security technology, frequent training and a culture of knowledge sharing. As you gain experience with our existing SOC technology and processes, you will be given considerable freedom to mature the function through your own initiatives. Your Core Responsibilities: - Analyse security logs, alerts and reported events, and respond to or assist with the remediation of incidents. - Hunt for potential compromise across the infrastructure using a range of threat intelligence sources. - Report discovered vulnerabilities to technology owners and recommend remediation steps. - Support and improve technical security controls. - Leverage automation and orchestration to remove repetitive manual work. - Apply AI-assisted tooling to alert triage, event summarisation and investigation workflows, with a pragmatic view of its limitations. - Develop reporting that measures the effectiveness of security controls. - Develop and improve incident response playbooks. - Support regulatory and assurance audits: prepare evidence, coordinate with auditors and track observations through to closure. Your Skills and Experience: - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. - A self-starter with a genuine passion for cybersecurity. - Previous SOC experience, and/or 3+ years of hands-on experience in an enterprise IT environment managing endpoints and applications on-premises or in the cloud. - Exposure to security controls such as identity and access management, vulnerability management, and endpoint detection and response. - Working knowledge of — or a strong willingness to learn — the Indian regulatory cybersecurity landscape: SEBI CSCRF, exchange circulars (NSE/BSE/MCX) and CERT-In directions, along with familiarity with ISO 27001 and the NIST CSF on which CSCRF is modelled. - Experience supporting audits (cyber audit, systems audit, VAPT, ISO or SOC 2 assessments) — evidence preparation, auditor coordination and observation remediation — is a strong plus. - Automation using basic coding skills or low-code / no-code tools. - Awareness of AI and machine learning applications in security operations is a plus; hands-on experience with AI-assisted security tooling or LLM-based workflows is highly regarded. - Understanding of common attack techniques and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. - Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into audit-ready evidence and regulator-facing reports. - Relevant tertiary and/or security qualifications are a plus — for example a Bachelor's degree in information systems or computer science, CompTIA Security+, Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), CEH, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor / Lead Implementer.
