Job Description


Great opportunity to work fully remote if you're a US Citizen or Green Card Holder and DO NOT have an employer.


**Must be able to work on our W2; no exceptions**


This role stands out because it offers the chance to lead meaningful incident response efforts in a highly dynamic environment, while working fully remote. You’d be stepping into a position where your expertise directly strengthens enterprise-wide security, with exposure to modern tools, cloud platforms, and evolving threat landscapes. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys both hands-on investigation and influencing broader security strategy.


Here are a few quick details at a glance:


  • Location: Burlington, MA
  • Onsite Requirements: 100% Remote
  • Visa Requirements: US Citizen or Green Card Holder
  • Contract Length: 6+ month contract


In this role, you’ll take the lead on security investigations, correlating data across multiple systems and log sources to identify and respond to threats. You’ll also play a key role in enhancing security procedures, managing tools like SIEM, EDR, and DLP, and collaborating across teams to strengthen overall security posture. The environment values proactive thinkers who stay ahead of emerging threats and continuously improve processes.


The ideal candidate brings 6–8 years of cybersecurity experience, strong incident response or SOC background, and solid knowledge of network protocols, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, O365), and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and NIST. Experience with scripting (PowerShell or Python) and tools like CrowdStrike or Elastic is a strong plus.


If you’re looking for a role where your impact is immediate and visible, and where you can continue to grow in a fast-moving security landscape, this is worth a conversation.


If you’re open to learning more, please respond at your earliest convenience.
