- Collaborate closely with Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence teams to enhance overall security coverage.
- Integrate threat intelligence into hunting workflows, continuously adapting strategies based on emerging threats.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and automation capabilities within the ACDC.
What You Bring
- Strong experience (6+ years) in threat hunting, security operations, or incident response within complex environments.
- Hands-on experience with security technologies such as EDR (e.g. CrowdStrike, Defender), SIEM platforms, and log analysis.
- Solid understanding of attacker behaviour, TTPs, and the ability to apply this knowledge in real-world hunting scenarios.
- Programming and automation skills (e.g. Python, Go) to develop scalable detection and hunting solutions.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to correlate data from multiple sources and identify meaningful patterns.
- Experience working in collaborative, international environments and coordinating with multiple stakeholders.
- Fluent English communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
