Senior Security Analyst 1

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

onX is seeking a Senior Security Analyst I with a passion for protecting the systems, data, and customers that make onX's products possible. As an onX Senior Security Analyst I, you will serve as the team's subject matter expert on day-to-day security operations, incident response, and application and vendor security. Your focus will be on security monitoring and detection, incident response execution, and application security testing, with a supporting role in compliance activities such as SOC 2 evidence collection. This role also partners closely with the onX Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team, so a working understanding of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is important to day-to-day work. onX views artificial intelligence (AI) as a powerful tool for strengthening security work, not something to fear, and this role should bring that same mindset. 

This is a hands-on role: onX cannot do this work by hand at scale, so you will build the automations and tools needed to reduce manual effort across compliance evidence collection, application audits, and monitoring. You will also need to see your job as educating the company, not bubble-wrapping it, and finding secure solutions that let the business move and flex, rather than defaulting to blanket restrictions. You will work closely with the Director of IT and Security, providing expert recommendations and executing approved plans rather than operating independently. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a dynamic, growing company focused on making an impact on the business, and to help mature a growing security program. This role will serve as the senior technical expert within the Security function at onX. This position will report to the Director of IT and Security.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
^{Essential Job Duties & Functions}

Security Monitoring and Detection

•     Serve as the team's subject matter expert on the SIEM/EDR platform (SentinelOne), recommending tuning changes and detection coverage improvements.
•     Analyze complex attack vectors, deconstructing adversary behavior and applying threat intelligence to improve detection.
•     Maintain threat models and vulnerability lifecycle metrics across the environment.
•     Partner with the onX Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team on cloud security monitoring and detection within Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including visibility into infrastructure logging, IAM configuration, and workload security.

Incident Response

•     Execute the incident response playbook, making frontline judgment calls during incidents and escalating major incidents to the Director of IT and Security.
•     Facilitate incident response tabletop exercises and simulations with cross-functional stakeholders to test and improve readiness.
•     Partner with the SRE team during incidents that touch cloud infrastructure, ensuring security and reliability response efforts stay aligned.
•     Lead post-incident analysis and recommend improvements to the playbook based on lessons learned.

Application and Vendor Security

•     Run recurring security audits of business applications, with full coverage of Tier 0 systems.
•     Serve as the subject matter expert on the annual third-party penetration test, including mobile application testing, API endpoint testing, and phishing simulations, and coordinate remediation with product and engineering teams.
•     Conduct vendor security assessments and maintain a recurring re-assessment cadence for Tier 0 and Tier 1 vendors.
•     Collaborate with engineering teams to help design and build secure products throughout the development lifecycle.

Compliance Support

•     Support SOC 2 Type 2 compliance by gathering evidence and responding to auditor requests.
•     Maintain SOC 2 automation tooling (Sprinto) to keep ongoing compliance overhead low.
•     Help maintain security policies, procedures, and Information Security Management System (ISMS) documentation.

Leadership and Process Improvement

•     Partner with the IT and Security manager to prioritize risk reduction efforts across the security program, providing subject matter expertise to inform decisions.
•     Recommend frameworks for risk quantification and incident response automation for the team to review and approve.
•     Build automations and tools that reduce manual effort across the security program, including compliance evidence collection, application audits, and SIEM/EDR maintenance.
•     Identify and build automations that reduce manual security operations work, including identity and access management (IAM) lifecycle tasks.
•     Explore and pilot AI-assisted approaches to security operations tasks, such as alert triage, log analysis, and reporting, and share findings with the team.
•     Evaluate business requests and risk trade-offs to find secure, workable solutions that let teams move quickly, rather than defaulting to blanket restrictions.
•     Mentor other members of the security team.
•     Other ad hoc duties as assigned by the Supervisor

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

•    7 or more years of experience in security operations, incident response, or a related security role 
•     Demonstrated experience tuning and operating SIEM and endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms
•     Experience leading incident response, including major incident judgment calls and post-incident analysis
•     Working knowledge of vulnerability management and application security testing concepts
•     Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to align leadership and stakeholders on risk
•     Ability to work independently, set standards, and prioritize across monitoring, incident response, and cross-functional projects
•     Working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including IAM, logging, and core infrastructure services
•     Ability to partner effectively with Infrastructure and engineering teams on cloud and application security matters
•     Uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools as a force multiplier for security work, and brings a curious, hands-on approach to using AI rather than treating it as a threat to be avoided
•     Demonstrated experience building scripts, automations, or tools that reduce manual work — for example, in compliance evidence collection, audit workflows, or alert triage
•     Sound judgment in weighing security risk against business need, with a track record of finding secure solutions that let the business move forward rather than defaulting to blanket restrictions
