Cyber Threat Hunter

Cyber Threat Hunter

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are evolving, and perimeter security and automated protection aren’t enough—it’s time to go threat hunting. We need your cyber knowledge to detect advanced cyber threats in Cloud and O365 environments as well as on servers and endpoints. Instead of letting the attackers come to us, let’s go find them.

We’re looking for a Cyber Threat Hunter who can think like a cyber attacker to figure out how to circumvent security measures. This is an opportunity to use your analytical skills and gain network defense experience. You’ll learn to rapidly prototype and develop scripts to create haystacks where you’ll sift through the false positives to find patterns and indicators. 

Learn from our team of Detection Engineers as you find the adversary in the SEIM’s blind spot to help us close the gaps and harden their network. This is a chance to think differently about cyber defense, use completely new tools and approaches, and develop the next generation of security analytics. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required. 

Let’s outsmart the adversary and secure the company.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 3+ years of experience working in cybersecurity with an emphasis in threat hunting and detection engineering

• Experience with EDR platforms, including CrowdStrike, or Defender for Endpoint

• Experience with conventional network and host-based intrusion analysis, digital forensics, or handling malware

• Experience with hunt teams, cyber threat intelligence, incident response, or security operations teams

• Knowledge of security principles, including MITRE ATT@CK framework, threat landscapes, or attacker TTPs

• Knowledge on Security Tools in Application, Data, Networks, and Endpoint layers

• Ability to leverage internal and external resources for research threats, vulnerabilities, and intelligence on various attackers and attack infrastructure

• Ability to identify anomalous behavior on endpoint devices or network communications

• Public Trust

• Bachelor’s degree

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with non-Windows operating systems, including MacOS and Linux

• Experience with Web Application Firewall (WAF) and web based attacks

• Experience with endpoint telemetry, Carbon Black, FireEye HX, Falcon, Tanium, or Endgame

• Ability to write scripts, including Python, Powershell, and Bash

Vetting:
Applicants selected will be subject to a government investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements of the U.S. government client; Public Trust determination is required.
