Threat Hunter, Mid

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an active role in detecting advanced cyber threats? Instead of letting the attackers come to us, let's go find them. Cyber threats are evolving, and perimeter security and automated protection aren't enough-it's time to go threat hunting.

We're looking for an experienced threat hunter who can think like an attacker to figure out how to circumvent security measures. You'll use your experience and analytical skills to iteratively query large datasets to identify anomalies and attack techniques. Work with our team of experienced Detection Engineers to review intel and hunt for activity pertaining to emerging threats, develop new hunt analytics, identify visibility gaps, and recommend improvements to the firm's security posture. With your technical expertise, you'll build creative solutions to improve the firm's defense of cyber threats. This is a chance to think differently about cyber defense, use completely new tools and approaches, and develop the next generation of security analytics. Let's outsmart the adversary and protect the firm.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

* 2+ years of experience working in cybersecurity, including in threat detection or a cyber operations role

* Experience in threat hunting using Azure event logs

* Knowledge of data sources and artifacts from various platforms and technologies across networks, endpoints, and applications

* Knowledge of the threat landscape, including TTPs of advanced threat actors

* Knowledge of detection frameworks, including MITRE ATT&CK and SIGMA

* Ability to analyze logs and develop advanced queries in Splunk SPL or KQL
