TENEX.AI is an AI-native, automation-first Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider backed by Andreessen Horowitz. We are seeking a Senior Security Analyst to join our Security Operations Center (SOC) team in Overland Park, KS (or Sarasota, FL). This is an early-stage opportunity to shape our culture and security operations as we scale.
You will be responsible for threat monitoring and detection across enterprise networks using both traditional cybersecurity tools and AI/ML-powered systems, particularly Google Chronicle and SecOps platforms. Your core responsibilities include performing triage and investigation of security events, leveraging AI to identify patterns and anomalies, and reducing false positives. You will participate in on-call rotations for critical incidents.
In incident response, you will investigate and analyze security breaches, conduct root cause analysis and forensic investigations, and utilize Google SecOps and Chronicle to centralize security data and accelerate response workflows. You will apply machine learning to identify emerging threats and provide actionable insights.
You will work to optimize Google Chronicle for log management and threat hunting, develop and maintain automated workflows for common security incidents using AI for intelligent decision-making, and automate routine SOC tasks such as log analysis and threat intelligence enrichment. You will create detailed incident reports and threat intelligence summaries, prepare performance and security posture reports for stakeholders, and generate threat trend analysis for internal teams and customers.
Collaboration is key: you will work closely with IT, Customer Success, Engineering, and Data Science teams to promote AI-driven security initiatives and share knowledge of AI-powered security techniques with SOC team members.
