Senior Cybersecurity Analyst

About the Role

Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun also has a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst opening, full time, on site, with a security team protecting infrastructure for a growing organization. Seven and a half years of experience is the expectation, and the role covers a genuinely broad slice of the security function rather than one narrow specialty.

A Day in This Job

The work covers assessing systems for vulnerabilities, implementing protective controls, supporting incident response when issues are identified, and recommending improvements to reduce future risk. A senior analyst here balances proactive threat hunting with reactive incident response, and the mix shifts week to week depending on what's actually happening.

What You'll Be Doing

• Monitor systems using security monitoring tools for potential threats
• Conduct threat analysis on flagged anomalies
• Support incident response when a genuine issue is identified
• Recommend security improvements based on findings

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a security certification such as CEH or CompTIA Security+ and proven familiarity with security monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. The team weighs real incident response experience heavily.

Skills That Matter

• Security monitoring tools
• Threat analysis
• Incident response
• Networking fundamentals

Good to Have

Experience with a specific SIEM platform, familiarity with threat intelligence feeds, and any background where a genuine security incident required real judgment calls under time pressure rather than following a predetermined playbook exactly.

Why This Role

Dehradun's tech scene has grown steadily, and this security team protects an organization whose infrastructure has expanded quickly enough that proactive monitoring has become as important as reactive response. Naukri Mitra has listed a few cybersecurity roles from this employer, and senior analysts who've joined recently describe the balance between proactive and reactive work as more even here than at other companies they'd worked at, where incident response tends to dominate at the expense of genuine threat hunting.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a scenario round on investigating a suspicious activity pattern and a technical discussion of security monitoring concepts. Candidates who approach the scenario methodically tend to interview well.

Benefits

• Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
• Paid time off
• Performance-linked bonuses
• Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Dehradun

Location & Pay

This role is based at Sahastradhara Road, Dehradun, pin code 248013, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,81,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
