Job description

  • Develop and refine detection techniques to identify malicious activities and security breaches.
  • Analyze descriptions of IOCs and design effective searches to detect these activities in large data sets.
  • Create and maintain detection content, ensuring it is up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence.
  • Collaborate with threat hunters to continuously improve detection capabilities.
  • Utilize advanced Splunk query skills to develop and run complex searches and analyze security data.
  • Ensure the accuracy and efficiency of detection mechanisms to reduce false positives and improve response times.
  • Lead the design and development of advanced threat research platforms and prototypes, focusing on automation and scalable intelligence workflows.
  • Architect and code solutions for collecting, processing, and analyzing diverse threat data sources, including telemetry, commercial feeds, and OSINT.
  • Conduct in-depth research on emerging threat actors, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including dark net intelligence gathering, and produce actionable reports for stakeholders.
  • Engineer and automate the intelligence cycle, continuously improving processes for detection, alerting, and incident enrichment using SIEM, SOAR, and EDR technologies.



Requirements:

  • Proven experience as a Detection Engineer, with a strong emphasis on detection engineering as a primary job function.
  • Proven emulation history, replicating existing attack chains in code
  • Breach and attack simulation (BAS) experience for implementing attack chains
  • In-depth knowledge of threat hunting methodologies and experience working as a threat hunter.
  • Expertise in Splunk, including the ability to create and optimize complex queries independently.
  • SOAR / Scripting / Python experience
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze and interpret various data sets to identify suspicious activities.
  • Strong understanding of cyber security threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certifications related to cyber security and detection engineering (e.g., GIAC Certified Detection Analyst, Splunk Certified User).
  • Familiarity with other security information and event management (SIEM) tools and technologies.
  • Note: This position is not an entry-level role. We require candidates with substantial experience in detection engineering, not just occasional detection creation as part of a SOC analyst role.
