Challenging, greenfield, and unconventional — those are the operative words that describe this

SOC Manager role best

Greenfield, because you get to decide how our SOC will be shaped in all its aspects And there is more good news: we already have a sizeable pool of highly talented engineers and analysts nicely spread across time zones, so there is no need to burn the midnight oil — during normal operations, of course

Unconventional, because we do things the Deriv way Among others, this means that you are hands-on and that you lead from the front. You thoroughly understand SOC Operations from a management point of view and a technical angle. And you are not afraid to code your own automation functions for detection and response should that be necessary.

Your challenges

Establish and execute a comprehensive SOC strategy that effectively identifies, prevents, detects, and responds to complex and sophisticated cyber threats in a constantly evolving threat landscape while maintaining high levels of availability, integrity, and confidentiality of critical assets and data.
Recruit, mentor, and retain talented SOC engineers and security analysts from diverse backgrounds and cultures, build a collaborative and highperforming team culture, and promote continuous learning, innovation, and knowledgesharing across multiple geographies and time zones.
Manage, maintain (and possibly develop our own) security tools and technologies, including SIEM, IDS/IPS, and threat intelligence feeds.
Ensure issues only happen once. Design, implement, and continuously improve incident management processes, procedures, and workflows that minimise the impact of security incidents on the business and its customers.

Requirements:

15+ years of work experience
5+ years of SOC management experience
Intimate knowledge of and passion for cybersecurity
Handson technical skills (Think of Linux system administration, cloud technologies, coding, pen testing and/or database administration.)
Ability to stay calm and collected in stressful situations

-
In sum: you know your stuff, you're on the ball, you know how to fix things, and you keep a cool head.

What's good to have
