What you'll do:

  • Lead complex investigations of security events across corporate networks, endpoints, data centers, cloud environments, and other critical systems, driving incidents from initial analysis through escalation and remediation
  • Develop, tune, and optimize threat detection logic across SIEM, EDR, and other security platforms, proactively identifying coverage gaps, reducing false positives, and improving the fidelity of security alerts
  • Partner with Engineering, Infrastructure, and other teams to investigate threats, identify root causes, communicate risk, and drive timely remediation and improvements to CLEAR’s security posture
  • Apply threat intelligence, data, automation, and AI-enabled tools to identify emerging attack patterns, accelerate investigations, improve detection workflows, and strengthen decision-making while applying sound security judgment
  • Serve as a subject matter expert and escalation point for other analysts, mentoring junior team members, sharing knowledge, and helping establish scalable processes, playbooks, and standards for threat detection and analysis
  • Continuously evaluate CLEAR’s detection coverage against the evolving threat landscape and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, identifying opportunities to improve visibility and proactively defend against emerging threats
  • Lead improvements to Security Operations workflows, standard operating procedures, documentation, and tooling to increase the quality, consistency, and efficiency of threat analysis and incident response
  • Clearly communicate technical findings, risk, and recommended actions to technical and non-technical stakeholders, tailoring the level of detail to the audience
  • Participate in the Security Operations on-call rotation and respond to critical security events and incidents outside of standard working hours, as needed

 

How you'll measure success:

  • High-quality, accurate investigations that lead to timely containment, remediation, and actionable security improvements
  • Measurable improvements in Security Operations workflows, detection logic, automation, and analyst efficiency
  • Increased team capability through effective mentorship, knowledge sharing, documentation, and scalable operating practices 
  • Improved detection coverage, alert fidelity, and time to identify and respond to security threats

 

What you're great at:

  • 8+ years of cybersecurity experience, including 5+ years in security operations, threat detection, incident response, or a related discipline
  • Deep knowledge of SIEM, EDR, and security monitoring technologies, with demonstrated experience investigating complex events and developing, tuning, and optimizing detection logic
  • Applying threat intelligence and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001 to identify adversary behavior, evaluate detection coverage, and strengthen security controls
  • Using data, automation, scripting, and AI-enabled security tools to improve threat detection and investigation workflows while applying strong analytical judgment to validate findings and make informed decisions
  • Solving complex security problems independently, communicating findings clearly, building trusted cross-functional relationships, and mentoring other analysts
  • Certifications such as GCIH, GCIA, OSCP are a plus
  • Experience working across teams and functions to deliver on strategic, program-level goals

About this role

CLEAR's Security Operations Center is looking for a seasoned analyst to lead investigations into complex security threats across their corporate networks, cloud environments, and critical systems. This Senior Security Operations Analyst III role sits at the intersection of hands-on threat detection work and team leadership—you'll spend significant time investigating incidents and tuning detection logic across SIEM and EDR platforms, while also mentoring junior analysts, establishing scalable processes, and driving improvements to SOC workflows. The position requires deep expertise in security operations and incident response, with demonstrated ability to apply threat intelligence frameworks and automation to strengthen CLEAR's overall security posture.

You'll need at least eight years in cybersecurity with five of those specifically in security operations, threat detection, or incident response. Strong technical chops with SIEM and EDR tools are essential, as is comfort using data, scripting, and AI-enabled security tools to improve detection and investigation efficiency. Beyond technical skills, this role values someone who can communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, solve complex problems independently, and build trusted relationships across engineering and infrastructure teams. Relevant certifications like GCIH, GCIA, or OSCP are valued but not required.

Based in New York City and in-office full-time, the role offers a salary range of $145,000 to $170,000 plus additional compensation components including bonuses and RSUs. CLEAR provides comprehensive healthcare, family-building benefits, flexible time off, wellness stipends, and a 401(k) match, along with on-call rotation responsibilities for critical security events.
