Jr Engineer – Cybersecurity Operations

Candidates typically undergo a three‑round interview process: an initial technical screening, a detailed SOC‑focused technical interview covering SIEM and incident response scenarios, and a final HR round to assess cultural fit. The technical rounds are moderately challenging, focusing on practical knowledge rather than theoretical depth. Preparation tips include reviewing LogRhythm basics, practicing incident response playbooks, and brushing up on basic scripting.
