The Cyber Threat Hunter will be responsible for proactively identifying, analyzing, and disrupting advanced threats within the organization’s enterprise and cloud settings. This role focuses on hypothesis‑driven hunting, detection engineering, and intelligence‑led investigations to uncover adversary activity that has evaded traditional security controls.

Threat Hunting & Detection
Conduct proactive, hypothesis‑based threat hunts across endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and SaaS telemetry to identify unknown or emerging threats.
Leverage MITRE ATT&CK; to design and execute hunt scenarios aligned to known adversary tradecraft.
Identify stealthy behaviors such as living‑off‑the‑land techniques, credential abuse, lateral movement, and command‑and‑control activity.
Develop and refine detection logic,



analytics, and queries within SIEM/XDR platforms (e.g., Cortex XSIAM or equivalent).

Investigation & Response Support
Perform deep‑dive investigations and escalate confirmed threat activity with transparent evidence and recommendations.
Partner with Incident Response teams during active incidents to provide threat context, scoping, and root cause analysis.
Validate and tune alerts to reduce false positives while improving detection efficacy.

Threat Intelligence Integration
Correlate internal telemetry with threat intelligence feeds to identify active campaigns, exploited vulnerabilities, and adversary infrastructure.
Track emerging threat actor techniques, malware families, and attack trends relevant to the organization’s industry.
Translate intelligence into actionable hunts, detections, and defensive recommendations.
