How you'll make an impact in this role

  • Adversary Attribution & Mapping: Collect, pivot, and analyze multi-source telemetry-including OSINT, commercial feeds, deep/dark web forums, and internal technical logs-to profile threat actors, track localized and global cyber campaigns, and map adversary TTPs directly to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Detection Engineering & TIP Optimization: Manage, tune, and optimize the Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) to ingest, score, and deduplicate IOCs, collaborating with SIEM/SOAR and Detection Engineering teams to translate threat trends into actionable YARA, Sigma, and SIEM rules.
  • Proactive Hypothesis-Based Hunting: Partner with security teams to design and execute hypothesis-based threat hunting scopes and conduct retroactive hunts across data lakes and internal security platforms utilizing newly identified indicators and zero-day vulnerability intelligence.
  • Incident Response Fusion & Advisory: Provide real-time, context-driven intelligence support during active security incidents, delivering critical briefings on attacker infrastructure, capabilities, and intent to the Incident Response (IR), SOC, and DevSecOps teams.
  • Strategic & Operational Intelligence Synthesis: Synthesize complex, abstract technical data into high-impact threat assessments, flash reports, and threat actor profiles ("baseball cards"), contextualizing technical risks into actionable operational insights for both technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
