Position Summary:
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Middle SOC Security Engineer.
UnderDefense is looking for a motivated and proactive engineer to join our MDR Engineering team. This role focuses on configuring, maintaining, and improving security monitoring infrastructure across multiple client environments.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with at least one SIEM platform, a solid understanding of security technologies, and a willingness to learn new tools and approaches.
We value engineers who take ownership of technical challenges, work independently, and collaborate with the team to deliver effective solutions for our clients.
Job Responsibilities:
- Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot SIEM platforms, including Elastic Security, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and other solutions depending on client environments.
- Integrate log sources from Windows, Linux, network devices, cloud services, Microsoft 365, and EDR/XDR solutions.
- Configure and maintain log collection through agents, connectors, APIs, and Syslog.
- Troubleshoot log ingestion, parsing, indexing, and integration issues.
- Develop and maintain parsers for different log sources.
- Create, test, and optimize detection and correlation rules to improve threat detection and reduce false positives.
- Configure SIEM indexes, retention policies, and manage log ingestion volumes.
- Maintain integrations between SIEM/EDR/XDR solutions and the MAXI platform.
- Support technical onboarding of new clients and ensure proper integration into SOC monitoring.
- Monitor the health and performance of existing security solutions.
- Investigate technical issues, identify root causes, and implement effective solutions.
- Communicate directly with clients’ IT and security teams to understand technical requirements, discuss challenges, and provide solutions.
- Prepare technical documentation, configuration guides, and troubleshooting instructions.
- Collaborate with other engineers to improve existing processes, automate repetitive tasks, and support the scalability of MDR services.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with at least one SIEM platform, preferably Elastic Security, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or a similar solution.
- Practical experience with log collection, processing, analysis, or security integrations.
- Understanding of Windows, Linux, networking fundamentals, and common network protocols.
- Familiarity with Syslog, APIs, JSON, and log formats.
- Experience writing SIEM queries and working with detection or correlation rules.
- Understanding of EDR/XDR technologies and their role in security monitoring.
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills.
- Basic scripting skills in Bash, Python, or PowerShell.
- Ability to independently investigate technical issues, take ownership of tasks, and deliver results.
- Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to different security platforms and client environments.
- English communication skills sufficient to discuss technical issues and solutions directly with clients.
Nice to Have:
- Previous experience in a SOC, MDR, or MSSP environment.
- Hands-on experience with Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Elastic Agent).
- Experience with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender.
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Experience configuring SIEM environments or integrating log sources from scratch.
- Experience with Git and automating repetitive engineering tasks.
- Experience supporting multiple client environments.
The UnderDefense Mission Is Rooted in Values That Drive Us:
- We believe that success lies in execution, not credentials.
- We act like owners, not just employees.
- We work to find answers on our own, not wait for them to be given to us.
- We optimize for mission, not ego.
- We take responsibility for solving problems, even when they involve unfamiliar technologies.
- We have growth mindsets, not fixed ones.

Tips for Your Remote SoC Engineer Job Search
Show async collaboration in your portfolio
Remote soc engineer teams rely on documented design decisions, shared specification reviews, and written handoffs. Include links to RTL repositories, design documents, or verification plans you authored solo, so hiring managers can see you produce clear technical artifacts without in-person oversight.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote soc engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through location-filtered results on general boards.
Highlight distributed toolchain experience
Remote soc teams run on cloud EDA platforms, version-controlled RTL flows, and remote simulation infrastructure. Name the specific tools you've used in distributed environments, such as cloud-based Synopsys or Cadence flows, to signal you're ready for a remote setup from day one.
Prepare for asynchronous technical screens
Many remote soc engineer interviews include take-home design exercises or written architecture reviews instead of live whiteboard sessions. Practice writing clear, well-commented RTL and concise design rationale documents, since remote hiring panels evaluate how you communicate decisions in writing.
Remote SoC Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote soc engineer job?
Remote soc engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to collaborate across time zones without in-person handoffs. Semiconductor IP vendors, fabless chip companies, and defense electronics firms are among the most consistent remote hirers. Proficiency in RTL design, verification flows, and tools like Synopsys or Cadence, paired with a GitHub presence or documented tapeout contributions, gives your application a concrete edge over candidates with similar credentials but no remote-ready signal.
Which companies hire remote soc engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote soc engineers include Huntress Labs, Cts, and Ahead, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote soc engineer openings are most common at fabless semiconductor firms, defense and aerospace electronics companies, and distributed embedded systems teams where design and verification work can be handled asynchronously.
Can you get a remote soc engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level soc engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal in-person mentorship. Fabless startups and EDA software companies occasionally hire junior engineers remotely. A strong portfolio of personal chip design projects, open-source RTL contributions, or coursework involving real tapeout experience can substitute for professional experience and show you're ready for a remote environment.
Do you need a degree for remote soc engineer jobs?
Usually, but remote employers weigh demonstrated skills heavily alongside formal credentials. Most remote soc engineer postings list a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field as a baseline requirement. Candidates without a degree who have documented RTL design work, verified silicon experience, or strong EDA tool proficiency can still compete, particularly at smaller fabless companies and startups with practical hiring criteria.
Which industries hire the most remote soc engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote soc engineers are Medical Devices and Electronics & Hardware, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams where design, verification, and integration tasks can be coordinated asynchronously across locations.
