About the Role
Deriv is hiring a Senior SOC Analyst to proactively hunt threats, build detections, and own incident response in a high-scale fintech environment. You will work across infrastructure, cloud, identity, and endpoint, and extend coverage into AI agent stacks.
Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Hunt proactively across infrastructure, cloud, identity, and endpoint, working from hypotheses
- Build, tune, and maintain detections mapped to real attacker TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK)
- Own incidents end to end: triage, containment, root cause, and a report that leads to an actual fix
- Push back on tuning decisions that trade visibility for noise reduction
- Partner with Red Team on purple team exercises
- Extend detection and monitoring coverage into AI agent stack: prompt injection, tool misuse, credential exposure
- Perform malware analysis and reverse engineering to understand threats
- Mentor junior analysts
Requirements
- 6+ years in a SOC, threat hunting, or DFIR role with real incident ownership
- GCFA, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent DFIR/detection engineering credential strongly preferred
- Real depth in at least three of: EDR internals and endpoint telemetry, cloud security monitoring (AWS/GCP), network forensics, malware analysis, SIEM and detection as code, identity threat hunting
- Comfortable writing detection logic and tooling in Python or a proper query language
- Ability to think like an attacker when writing detections
- Ability to write reports that lead to fixes
Full Job Posting
Job Description
- We're not hiring a security engineer to keep up with threats. We're hiring someone to make threats irrelevant before they become incidents.
- At Deriv, we're building an autonomous security operations platform that hunts proactively, responds automatically, and learns continuously.
- Deriv's mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders across the globe, around the clock, across regulatory environments.
What You’ll Do
- Hunt proactively across infrastructure, cloud, identity, and endpoint, working from hypotheses, not just waiting on alerts.
- Build, tune, and maintain detections mapped to real attacker TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK), not whatever ships default from the vendor.
- Own incidents end to end: triage, containment, root cause, and a report that leads to an actual fix.
- Push back on any tuning decision, exclusion, or 'known good' assumption that trades visibility for noise reduction.
- Partner with Red Team on purple team exercises, turning every finding into a detection.
- Extend detection and monitoring coverage into our AI agent stack: prompt injection, tool misuse, credential exposure in agent workflows.
- Do enough malware analysis and reverse engineering to actually understand what you're looking at.
- Mentor junior analysts and raise the bar on what 'triaged' actually means.
Who You Are
- 6+ years in a SOC, threat hunting, or DFIR role, with real incident ownership, not just alert queue work.
- GCFA, GCIH, GCIA, or equivalent DFIR/detection engineering credential strongly preferred.
- Real depth in at least three of: EDR internals and endpoint telemetry, cloud security monitoring (AWS/GCP), network forensics, malware analysis, SIEM and detection as code, identity threat hunting.
- Comfortable writing your own detection logic and tooling in Python or a proper query language.
- You think like an attacker when you write a detection.
- You know the difference between reducing noise and creating a blind spot.
- You can write a report that gets fixed, not filed.
The Honest Reality
- You'll sit inside a Security & AI Engineering org that treats detection and response as a real discipline.
- You'll work across Dubai and Malaysia with a team that runs actual incident response.
- You'll have a direct line from catching something to it getting closed for good.
