About Security & Cybersecurity jobs

Security and cybersecurity jobs cover the people who protect a company's systems, data, and people from threats both technical and human. The titles span SOC / security operations center analyst roles (tier-1, tier-2, tier-3), security engineer (network, cloud, application), penetration tester / red team, security researcher, incident responder, identity and access engineer, governance/risk/compliance (GRC) specialist, security architect, and security leadership (security manager, director, CISO / chief information security officer). The work splits between proactive (designing controls, hardening systems, threat hunting, security architecture) and reactive (incident response, breach investigation, vulnerability management).

Postings here come from the same multi-source feed: broad aggregators, federal feeds, remote-only listings, and tech-heavy boards. The full list refreshes once a day. You'll see SOC analyst roles at MSSPs / managed security service providers, security engineer positions at SaaS companies, penetration tester roles at consultancies and at large enterprises, GRC roles at companies in regulated industries, federal security positions, and CISO-track leadership openings.

Signed in? The list is re-ranked against your values assessment, so the roles at the top are the ones that line up with what actually matters to you: comp, the kind of security work (defensive, offensive, GRC, leadership), industry, on-call expectations, the team. The scoring math is the same for everyone; the weighting is yours.

What does a security or cybersecurity job pay?

Security pay sits above general IT and roughly tracks engineering at the same level. SOC analyst (tier-1): $55-80k entry, $80-110k tier-2/tier-3. Security engineer (network, cloud, app security): $120-180k mid-career, $180-260k+ at senior levels at growth-stage SaaS, $300k+ at staff/principal levels at FAANG-tier (Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) and top tech. Penetration tester / red team: $110-180k at consultancies, $180-260k+ at well-funded in-house red teams. GRC specialist: $90-140k mid-career; senior GRC manager: $140-200k. CISO at a growth-stage SaaS: $300-500k+ total comp; CISO at large public enterprise: $500k-$1.5M+ at the top. Federal security roles follow the GS / General Schedule scale; cleared positions in defense and intelligence pay premiums of 15-30% over comparable uncleared work. Major certifications (CISSP / Certified Information Systems Security Professional, OSCP / Offensive Security Certified Professional, CEH / Certified Ethical Hacker, GIAC / Global Information Assurance Certification) translate to real pay bumps at most companies.

Are security jobs hiring remote?

Highly remote-friendly for most security functions. SOC analyst work, security engineering, penetration testing, security research, and GRC roles all run heavily remote at most companies. The work is mostly on a computer with cloud-based tooling and collaboration over chat and video. Exceptions: physical security roles (rare in tech), forensics work that involves seized devices, classified work in defense and intelligence (mostly on-site or hybrid with SCIF / sensitive compartmented information facility access), and senior leadership roles at large enterprises with strong office cultures. The remote toggle on this page filters to listings tagged remote-only or remote-first. Pen testing engagements sometimes involve on-site assessments for clients, even when the home role is remote.

Entry-level vs senior security roles

Entry-level security is one of the harder fields to break directly into without prior IT experience. The traditional path: IT support to sysadmin or networking, then a SOC analyst role, then security engineering. Direct-entry SOC analyst roles do exist (especially at MSSPs running 24/7 operations) and often hire candidates with Security+ certification and demonstrable lab work. Senior security roles split sharply: defensive (security engineer, security architect, detection engineer, threat hunter), offensive (pen tester, red team operator, security researcher), and governance (GRC manager, compliance officer, privacy lead). The CISO track requires breadth across all three plus strong business and communication skills. Calibrating senior level from a listing: years of experience, scope of systems covered, on-call expectations, whether the role owns architecture decisions, and reporting line (does the role report to CIO, CTO, or directly to CEO/board).

How to compare two security offers

Security offers diverge on dimensions other roles don't have. Pin down: the company's security maturity (is there a real program with leadership support, or is security a cost center being squeezed?), the specific function (defensive, offensive, GRC, all-of-the-above), on-call expectations (how often, response SLA, how brutal the incidents are likely to be), the threat landscape the company actually faces (a small SaaS sees different attacks than a defense contractor), and the team's relationship with engineering (security partners with eng vs. security blocks eng releases). WorkWomp's offer comparison handles this kind of multi-variable decision. Save both offers, take the 5-minute values assessment so the scoring weights what actually matters to you, drop in interview notes (the team's maturity, the on-call burden, leadership exposure), and the breakdown shows which offer wins where.

Common questions

  • What's the difference between SOC analyst, security engineer, and pen tester?

    Different roles along the security stack. SOC / security operations center analyst monitors alerts from security tools (SIEM / security information and event management, EDR / endpoint detection and response, network IDS / intrusion detection system), triages incidents, escalates to senior analysts when something looks real. The work is reactive and shift-based, often 24/7 coverage in MSSPs. Security engineer designs and builds security controls: firewall rules, authentication systems, vulnerability scanning pipelines, incident response runbooks. The work is mostly proactive engineering. Penetration tester / red team operator simulates attackers against the company's own systems, identifies exploitable weaknesses, and reports them in detail. The work mixes technical depth with creative thinking; engagements are typically project-based (1-3 week sprints per engagement). Pay tracks complexity: SOC analyst typically pays less than security engineer or pen tester at the same level (security engineer and pen tester pay similarly).

  • Do security jobs require a degree?

    Less than most fields require. Security hires aggressively from non-traditional backgrounds: self-taught practitioners with strong CTF / capture-the-flag competition records, military and government veterans with security clearances, IT support and network engineers transitioning into the field, and bootcamp grads with Security+ certifications. Degree requirements show up most in leadership tracks (CISO at a large enterprise often requires a master's), in federal security positions (degrees and clearances), and in security research (academic-oriented roles). For entry and mid-career individual contributor work, capability beats credential almost universally.

  • How do I break into cybersecurity without prior security experience?

    Two reliable paths. Path 1: IT support to security. Move into a tier-1 helpdesk or sysadmin role, build IT fluency, then pivot into a SOC analyst position. Most SOC teams hire from internal IT pipelines. Path 2: technical bootcamp plus lab work. Build skills via Security+, hands-on labs (TryHackMe, HackTheBox, Cybrary), CTF competitions, and a small portfolio of self-directed projects (a home lab running pfSense, Suricata, ELK stack), then pitch yourself into entry-level SOC roles at MSSPs that hire aggressively. Federal security agencies (CISA / Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, NSA / National Security Agency, DOD / Department of Defense) also run direct-entry programs for non-traditional candidates with strong aptitude. Avoid the common trap of stacking certifications without hands-on work; cert-only candidates without lab evidence struggle in interviews.

  • Is security a recession-resistant field?

    More resistant than most, less than people assume. Compliance-driven security work (GRC, audit response, regulatory reporting) is genuinely recession-resistant because the regulations don't pause when budgets tighten. Defensive security engineering at well-funded enterprises (banking, defense, healthcare, large tech) holds up well. Offensive security and security research at smaller companies cut more aggressively during downturns because the work feels like 'nice-to-have' to non-security executives. Federal security jobs are very stable. The roles most exposed in cuts: junior security analysts at non-regulated companies, security consultants at less-established firms, and security 'evangelist' or 'developer relations' roles. The roles most stable: GRC at regulated industries, security engineering at financial services, federal cleared positions.

  • Is AI changing security work?

    Yes, in both directions. AI is augmenting defensive work: automated triage of SOC alerts, AI-assisted code review for vulnerabilities, AI-driven threat hunting across large logs. The roles being squeezed: tier-1 SOC analyst doing volume alert triage, junior compliance analysts doing repetitive evidence collection. AI is also enabling attackers: AI-generated phishing at scale, automated reconnaissance, faster vulnerability discovery. The roles holding or growing: senior security engineers who architect AI-aware controls, detection engineers who build novel signatures faster with AI tools, threat hunters who interpret AI-generated alerts critically, and security researchers studying AI-native attack patterns. The honest framing: if your security work is mostly running standard playbooks, AI is competing for your seat. If your work involves judgment about novel threats and architectural trade-offs, you're fine.
