Security Analyst

Indianapolis, IN (Preferred) or United States-Remote

About the Role

We're hiring a hands-on Security Analyst to own the day-to-day of our security program across endpoints, cloud, and identity. You'll monitor, investigate, and respond to threats while serving as the first point of contact for employees with security questions. This role has real ownership. You'll operate within established guidelines with appropriate oversight, but the day-to-day security operations are yours to run. We're looking for someone who takes that seriously, someone who can distinguish signal from noise, escalate when it counts, and handle their domain with consistency and care. We're a technical team that moves fast and expects its people to keep up. We want someone who is genuinely curious about how things work, stays current without being told to, and brings ideas rather than waiting for them.

What You'll Do

Daily & Weekly

  • Monitor and triage Microsoft Defender alerts across endpoints, identity, and cloud
  • Review Intune/MDM compliance dashboards, validate endpoint patch status, and follow up on non-compliant devices
  • Monitor Azure Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, and Entra ID for anomalous activity
  • Handle front-line employee security questions and requests

Monthly

  • Review access to protected systems and validate permissions remain appropriate
  • Perform abuse screening per established runbook
  • Execute web application security scans and document findings
  • Verify Conditional Access policies are operating as configured and investigate any drift
  • Review and adjust web filtering rules and endpoint traffic controls
  • Prepare security metrics reports for leadership
  • Surface process and tooling improvements to your manager

Quarterly

  • Coordinate vulnerability scanning with our third-party security partner; triage results, brief Engineering on findings, and drive remediation to closure within SLA
  • Support compliance evidence collection per compliance team direction

Annually

  • Own coordination of our penetration test: scoping, scheduling, stakeholder liaison, and remediation tracking
  • Support the annual audit evidence collection process

 

Required Qualifications

  • 3–5 years in a hands-on security operations role across real enterprise environments
  • Demonstrated experience across the Microsoft Defender suite: Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Defender for Cloud
  • Working knowledge of Intune/MDM for endpoint compliance
  • Experience with Azure security services: Azure Policy and Entra ID (Conditional Access, PIM, audit logs)
  • Familiarity with GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps
  • Experience supporting compliance programs - executing control tasks and contributing to evidence collection
  • Strong collaborator - someone peers and stakeholders can rely on
  • Genuinely curious - you follow threads, ask why, and don't stop at the surface

 Education
We prefer a Bachelor's degree in a technical field but will seriously consider candidates with an Associate's degree, relevant certifications, or equivalent hands-on experience. Military cybersecurity experience is highly valued.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Microsoft certifications: SC-200, SC-300, AZ-500
  • Experience with web application security scanning tools
  • PowerShell or Python for log analysis and automation

Work Environment

You'll be the dedicated security analyst on an eight-person technical team, working closely with the compliance team, Engineering, IT, and our external security partners. Occasional availability outside business hours for security incidents is expected.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
