A cybersecurity team in Kharadi, Pune, is hiring a full-time Cybersecurity Analyst to work on-site, with pay up to 109,500 INR per month. This is a hands-on security role, not a policy or compliance desk job, and the team wants someone who can sit with an alert queue and actually work it.
The work itself
Most days start with the monitoring queue. Something flags, maybe a login from an unfamiliar city at an odd hour, or a spike in outbound traffic from a machine that normally sits quiet, and the analyst has to figure out fast whether it's noise or a real problem. When it's real, the job shifts into investigation and response: tracing what happened, containing it, and documenting the incident so the team can close the loop and adjust defenses afterward.
- Keep an eye on network and endpoint activity to catch intrusions before they spread
- Dig into flagged incidents to work out what actually happened and how bad it is
- Take the lead on containing and remediating confirmed threats once they're verified
- Build and tune safeguards that keep company data out of the wrong hands
None of this happens in a vacuum. Alerts often turn out to be false positives, and telling the difference quickly, without either ignoring something real or crying wolf on every anomaly, is most of what separates a strong analyst from an average one.
Who fits this
A bachelor's degree is the baseline for this position, typically in cybersecurity, information technology, or a closely related field. Employers hiring for this role want candidates with 48 months of hands-on experience with the tools and workflows involved, along with familiarity with security monitoring platforms, vulnerability assessment, and incident response practices, built through prior work rather than picked up on the job.
Required skills for this role include:
- Experience with security monitoring tools and dashboards
- Threat analysis, including recognizing patterns that indicate compromise
- Incident response, from initial triage through containment
- Solid networking fundamentals, since most incidents trace back to how traffic actually moves
Beyond those, a few things make an application stand out. Practical experience with a SIEM platform such as Splunk or QRadar counts for a lot, and familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework helps a candidate speak the same language the team already uses when classifying incidents. Scripting ability in Python or PowerShell is genuinely useful for automating repetitive triage steps, and holding a certification like Security+ or CEH signals a level of formal grounding that the interview process doesn't always surface on its own.
What the environment is like
This is an on-site role at the Kharadi office, and the team works shoulder to shoulder rather than coordinating purely through tickets. That has real advantages during an active incident, when getting three people looking at the same screen beats three separate video calls. It also means the analyst hired will be physically present for the harder stretches: the week a phishing campaign gets past the filters and half the inbox needs to be triaged by hand, or the aftermath of a vendor breach that forces a review of every third-party integration the company touches. Naukri Mitra lists roles like this one for people specifically searching for cybersecurity analyst openings in Pune, and this posting reflects what the day-to-day actually looks like rather than a generic security job description.
The pace varies. Some stretches are genuinely quiet, mostly routine log review and the occasional low-priority alert, and other stretches are not. Anyone applying should go in expecting both.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- On-site cafeteria facilities
- Cab or commute support for the Kharadi office
Pay and how it compares
The role pays up to 109,500 INR monthly. For anyone comparing cybersecurity analyst salary figures in Pune across postings, this falls within a reasonable range for a role that expects four years of hands-on security experience, rather than an entry-level analyst just getting started. Job seekers weighing this against openings closer to the city center should note that Kharadi has become one of Pune's denser IT corridors, so commute times from most parts of the city are manageable even without the office being downtown.
Applying
Candidates should apply with a resume that specifically highlights incident response experience and any tools used day-to-day, since generic IT or helpdesk backgrounds without direct security exposure won't map well to what this role requires. Interviews will likely include a walkthrough of how a past incident was handled, so it helps to have a specific example ready rather than a general description of past duties.
