At Globant, we are working to make the world a better place, one step at a time. We enhance business development and enterprise solutions to prepare them for a digital future. With a diverse and talented team present in more than 30 countries, we are strategic partners to leading global companies in their business process transformation.

We seek amid-level Incident Response (IR) Specialist with proven experience in handling cybersecurity incidents and conducting proactive threat-hunting activities. This role is part of a global follow-the-sun security operations model, ensuring 24/7 coverage for security incidents across multiple regions. This role is critical to helping our business partners evolve and adapt to consumers' personalized expectations in this new technological era.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a first or second responder to security incidents, coordinating triage, containment, eradication, and recovery efforts.
• Analyze, investigate, and document incidents to determine root cause, scope, and impact.
• Provide timely updates and recommendations to stakeholders during active investigations.

Proactive Security Operations

• Conduct threat-hunting activities, including reviewing logs, alerts, and telemetry for indicators of compromise.
• Perform Golden Image reviews to ensure baseline system integrity and security compliance.
• Execute system audits to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential exposures.
• Reduce attack surface by identifying and removing unused domains, URLs, and other unnecessary external exposures.
• Detect and mitigate risky accounts such as logged-in domain administrators and exposed service accounts.
• Query endpoints to identify insecure credential storage (e.g., plaintext passwords in configuration files).
• Work closely with global IR teams to ensure seamless handoff of cases across time zones.
• Contribute to playbook development and process improvements.
• Support security awareness by sharing findings and best practices with technical teams.

What will help you succeed:

• 5 years of experience in cybersecurity operations, with at least 3 years in incident response or threat hunting.
• Strong understanding of security concepts, incident lifecycle, and attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
• Experience with SIEM, EDR, and security monitoring tools.
• Familiarity with log analysis, endpoint forensics, and network traffic analysis.
• Working knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) and common enterprise infrastructure.
• Ability to script or automate tasks (PowerShell, Python, Bash, etc.) is a plus.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as GCFA, GCIA, GCIH, or similar.
• Experience working in a global or distributed SOC/IR team.
• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) incident response.
