About the Role

Point is expanding its Information Security function with a high-visibility role for a Senior Security Operations Analyst (Detection & Response). This position will partner with the security lead to detect, investigate, and contain threats in a regulated consumer-finance environment. The role involves engineering detections, automating responses, and hardening security visibility across AWS, Google Workspace, and SaaS. You will have the autonomy to own problems end-to-end and turn noisy alerts into fast, repeatable, well-documented responses, contributing to reducing risk to homeowners' financial lives.

Responsibilities

Share the 24/7 on-call and incident-response rotation, triaging, investigating, and driving containment of security alerts and incidents.
Build and maintain incident-response runbooks, escalation paths, and post-incident reviews.
Build, tune, and maintain SIEM detections, correlation rules, dashboards, and reporting in Coralogix across cloud and identity log sources.
Reduce false positives and onboard new log sources to eliminate detection blind spots.
Run day-to-day vulnerability management, including prioritizing findings, coordinating remediation, and reporting on risk reduction.
Develop detection-as-code and lightweight automation/SOAR for faster and repeatable response.
Serve as a redundant administrative and response path to prevent containment bottlenecks.
Produce recurring security metrics and reporting for leadership, and supply control evidence for audits.
Use AI/LLM tooling to accelerate investigation, correlation, and detection engineering.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of the security-operations program, tooling, and threat monitoring.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in security operations, incident response, SOC, or detection engineering.
Hands-on experience running or actively participating in an on-call / incident-response rotation, independently.
Strong SIEM skills — authoring and tuning detections, correlation rules, and dashboards (Coralogix, Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel, or similar).
Practical cloud security experience in AWS and Google Workspace, including identity and log sources.
Demonstrated ability to investigate and contain incidents end to end (e.g., phishing/AiTM, account takeover, business email compromise, and cloud/identity threats).
Working knowledge of vulnerability management and coordinating remediation with engineering teams.
Scripting and automation ability (Python or similar) for detection-as-code and SOAR-style workflows.
Clear written and verbal communication skills for producing runbooks, metrics, and audit-ready documentation.
Comfortable operating with autonomy on a small team and owning problems end to end.
Authorized to work in the United States.
Able to participate in an off-hours on-call rotation.
