Our requirements

  • Understanding of web security fundamentals: WAF, DDoS, bots, OWASP Top 10.
  • Solid basics in HTTP, TCP/IP, TLS.
  • Comfortable analyzing logs and reading dashboards; can spot anomalies in traffic.
  • Able to distinguish malicious from legitimate traffic and reason about false positives.
  • Clear written English for customer-facing reports.
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under incident pressure.
  • Willingness to work in a shift/on-call rotation.

Optional

  • Prior SOC L1/L2 or related experience.
  • Basic query/scripting: SQL-like log queries, regex, a bit of Python.
  • Familiarity with CDN/WAF platforms (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, F5, Radware).
  • Exposure to SIEM / alerting tooling and PagerDuty-style on-call.
  • Security certifications (e.g. CompTIA Security+) - a plus, not a requirement.
  • Deep threat research, exploit development, malware reverse-engineering. That work stays with our Threat Researchers - this role feeds them clean, triaged signal and takes the routine off their plate.

Your responsibilities

  • Monitor WAAP and DDoS activity across customer accounts - dashboards, alerts, and traffic patterns - and recognize when something needs attention.
  • Triage false positives: review traffic flagged by security policies, confirm or dismiss, and keep noise down for customers (this is a large, daily part of the job).
  • Prepare reports: weekly threat summaries per customer and post-incident DDoS reports, in clear customer-facing English.
  • Alert and escalate: when an attack is impacting a customer, signal the engineering team or Support with the right context - e.g. a customer needs to be tagged or a policy adjusted - and follow the escalation runbook.
  • Support customer onboarding: apply standard security configuration based on the customer's profile (resource type, traffic volume, legitimate-traffic exclusions) following playbooks.
  • Follow the reaction-time SLA - our commitment to customers is speed of reaction and clear post-incident reporting, not a prevention guarantee.
  • Contribute to and maintain runbooks so responses are consistent and repeatable.

About the project

Gcore WAAP protects customer web applications and APIs against DDoS, bots, and application-layer attacks at CDN edge scale. We are building out a proactive, managed-support offering for enterprise customers, and we need a SOC Analyst to run the day-to-day security operations: watch traffic and alerts, triage false positives, prepare customer-facing threat reports, and escalate real impact to the right team. You will work alongside our Threat Researchers, taking the operational load off them so they can focus on deep analysis. You do not need to be a threat-hunting expert.
You need to be reliable, observant, comfortable in logs and dashboards, and able to tell an attack from legitimate traffic - and know when to escalate.
Explicitly NOT Required
Deep threat research, exploit development, malware reverse-engineering. That work stays with our Threat Researchers - this role feeds them clean, triaged signal and takes the routine off their plate.
Why This Role Matters
You become the first line of Gcore WAAP's managed security operations - the person who keeps customers informed and protected day to day, and who lets our specialists focus on the hard problems. High visibility, direct customer impact, and a clear path to grow into threat research or detection engineering.
