As a member of TikTok’s Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) team, you will join a strong team of people with the overarching goal of detecting and responding to threats facing TikTok's products, services and customers around the world. You'll be based in our Cyber Fusion Center.

The CSOC team within TikTok’s Chief Security and Privacy Organization (CSPO) is responsible for 24x7 monitoring of multiple security-related information sources to manage incidents related to cyber, privacy, and data protection for TikTok data, infrastructure, and products.

Additionally, the CIRC team is responsible for developing and maintaining incident response plans, playbooks and procedures. Finally, the CSOC team will be responsible for data collection and analysis of Incident Response data. All CSOC analyst roles are currently required to work a hybrid 2 days a week in the office and work from home the remainder of the week.

The CSOC team will take disparate data sets when combined with threat information and other enrichment to conduct analysis and identify incidents and drive appropriate responses to contain and minimize impact and restore normal operations. The analysis is used to ensure a consistent and coordinated response to ongoing threats ensuring TikTok can continue to operate safely and securely.

The preferred candidate will have experience in conducting technical analysis of security events, ideally in malware analysis, incident triage and escalation, digital forensics, and other general incident response-related issues.
