Roles in Cybersecurity
3 roles
SOC Analyst
You are the digital first responder. Sitting in the Security Operations Center (SOC), you monitor live networks for hackers and malware. When an alarm goes off, you investigate: is it a glitch, or are we under attack? You are the first line of defense.
View Role
Backend Engineer
You build the invisible engines that power the world. You handle the logic, the database, the security, and the speed. While frontend is about what users see, backend is about making sure it actually works—reliably, securely, and fast.
View Role
DevOps Engineer
You bridge the gap between code and deployment. You don't just write software; you build the automated factory that tests, packages, and ships it to the cloud. You ensure the site never goes down, even when millions of users hit it at once.
