Job Description:

Description:
We are seeking a technically strong and curious Cyber Security Researcher to join
our Security Operations Center (SOC) team. This role involves researching
evolving cybersecurity techniques, tools, and standards, and translating those
insights into technical solutions, PoCs, and operational enhancements.
You will collaborate with Product Managers, SOC Analysts, and Development
teams to support the design and improvement of detection logic, security workflows,
and platform capabilities. If you’re passionate about diving into academic research,
security frameworks, and experimenting with PoCs—this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:
 Conduct structured research on cyber defense strategies, adversary
tradecraft (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK; TTPs), and modern detection methodologies
including IDS/IPS tuning, packet analysis, and behavior-based analytics.
 Analyze and synthesize content from technical research papers, threat
intelligence feeds, vulnerability databases (e.g., CVE, CWE, CAPEC), and
industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO, CISA advisories).




 Develop and validate Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) for detection logic, telemetry
enrichment, security automation workflows, or EDR/SIEM rule tuning using
tools like YARA, Sigma, Zeek, Wazuh and Suricata.
 Translate complex cybersecurity research into actionable feature
requirements and detection enhancements in collaboration with Product
Management.
 Collaborate with Engineering and SOC teams to design, test, and deploy
detection pipelines, log ingestion rules, and enrichment mechanisms in
platforms such as Splunk, ELK, or Microsoft Sentinel.
 Prepare explicit and concise technical documentation, detection logic
explainers, internal advisories, and research briefs for engineering and SOC
consumption.
 Maintain and enhance internal detection rulesets, enrichment scripts, and
threat response content in line with evolving threat landscapes and platform
capabilities.
 Continuously align detection conte
