Job Description

Remote Cybersecurity Analyst Jobs in Maryland

Ever wonder how a single line of code can protect millions? We think about it every day. If you’re someone who can spot anomalies before they make headlines and thrive in the quiet intensity of digital defense, you’re already one of us. From our base in Maryland, we’re expanding our remote security operations—and you might be the key piece we’re missing.

Your Mission: Safeguard What Matters

You won’t just be responding to threats. You’ll anticipate them, dissect them, and strengthen our defenses so that breaches never happen. You’ll dive into security analytics, monitor unusual activity across systems, and use your intuition and tools to stay several steps ahead.

Our clients count on uninterrupted service, trusted data, and airtight infrastructure. You’ll be a core part of the team that makes that happen.

What You’ll Champion

• Analyze live threat intelligence to identify and mitigate cyberattacks before they escalate.
• Pinpoint gaps in cloud infrastructure security and lead efforts to implement sustainable fixes that fortify our defenses.
• Monitor real-time network logs and system activity using enterprise-grade SIEM tools.
• Build and refine detection rules that reduce false positives and improve incident response time.
• Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams to embed security throughout our tech stack.
• Lead post-incident forensics—and turn lessons learned into long-term solutions.

This isn’t checklist work. It’s proactive, strategic, and centered on impact. Whether you’re running tabletop exercises or automating alert triage, you’re helping build a safer future.

The Environment You’ll Thrive In

Remote-first, always-connected. We know cybersecurity doesn’t wait for office hours, and neither do we. You’ll join a lean, responsive team that values clear thinking, strong ethics, and the freedom to do your best work wherever you are.

We utilize remote collaboration tools, including Slack, Jira, and Zoom, to maintain tight alignment without micromanagement. Your days will include async updates, focused problem-solving sprints, and the occasional war room when threats emerge.

You’ll never be alone on a critical issue—our support structure is always within reach.

The Tools in Your Arsenal

You’ll work with a robust security stack that includes:

• Splunk and CrowdStrike for threat detection and endpoint monitoring
• Nessus and Qualys for vulnerability scanning
• Palo Alto and Fortinet for firewall management
• AWS Security Hub and GuardDuty for cloud threat intelligence
• Wireshark and packet inspection tools for deep dive analyses

You’ll have a say in what we use next. If there’s a better tool or sharper process, we want to hear about it.

Who You Are (and Why It Matters)

• You have over 3 years of experience in cybersecurity analysis, with a strong grasp of threat models, incident response, and endpoint protection.
• You simplify complex security concepts—whether it’s during a stakeholder briefing or a team huddle.
• You’ve worked with remote collaboration tools and know how to stay aligned without constant check-ins.
• You’ve managed security across multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
• You think like an attacker but act with integrity.

Certifications help (think: CISSP, CEH, or GIAC), but they’re not the only sign of your capability. What matters most is your ability to solve problems in real time and communicate clearly under pressure.

The Outcomes You’ll Drive

This role isn’t about tasks—it’s about impact. Your work will:

• Reduce incident response time across the organization.
• Lower risk exposure through smarter policies and proactive scanning.
• Improve audit readiness with cleaner logs and tighter controls.
• Strengthen employee trust by keeping our digital spaces safe.

You won’t just keep the lights on. You’ll make sure no one can flip the switch.

Your Team: Trust, Not Hierarchy

We don’t believe in red tape. Everyone on the team is trusted to own their domain, speak up, and move fast. You’ll be surrounded by passionate analysts, ethical hackers, and system architects who are generous with knowledge and serious about their craft.

Expect to contribute during sprint planning, lead threat debriefs, and collaborate during feature launches that require airtight compliance.

The Story Behind the Role

A few months ago, one of our analysts identified a minor irregularity in log data as part of a broader misconfiguration that could have exposed a sensitive pipeline. It wasn’t flashy. But it prevented a major issue. That’s the kind of difference this team makes. And as our footprint grows, so does the scale of what we protect.

That’s why this role exists: to strengthen our proactive security posture and scale it across our growing remote infrastructure.

Your Growth Path

You’ll never be boxed into a static title. Whether you want to lead red team simulations, move into GRC, or architect a cloud security strategy, we’ll support the direction you want to grow in.

Expect learning stipends, access to top cybersecurity conferences, and mentorship from industry veterans. Your curiosity and ambition won’t go unnoticed.

Compensation That Reflects Your Impact

This full-time remote role offers an annual salary of $107,739, along with performance-based bonuses, home office setup stipends, and a wellness allowance.

More than perks, we offer peace of mind. You’ll be working in a role that truly matters—with people who appreciate the gravity of what you do.

Let’s Build a Safer Internet

If you’re ready to turn vigilance into impact and make every click safer for thousands of users, we’re ready to meet you.

Let’s build something resilient—together.
