TL;DR · Cyber Threat Hunter

As a senior Cyber Threat Hunter in the Cyber Security Operations team, you will develop behavior-based detection capabilities that identify adversary activity before incidents escalate, leveraging enterprise telemetry and AI-enabled workflows. Your daily tasks include translating attacker techniques into durable detection logic, defining telemetry requirements for improved signal quality, and applying statistical methods and machine learning to enhance precision and operational actionability. You will validate suspicious behaviors using digital forensics and partner with security operations teams to operationalize detections. The role requires extensive experience in detection engineering, proactive threat hunting, and Python-based analytical workflows, along with familiarity with Google SecOps tools and detection-as-code practices.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain behavior-based detections for identifying adversary activity.
  • Translate attacker techniques into durable detection logic using a detection-as-code approach.
  • Define telemetry requirements to improve signal quality in cloud environments.
  • Develop behavioral models using statistical methods, machine learning, and Python.
  • Validate suspicious behaviors using digital forensics and incident response methods.
  • Partner with security teams to operationalize detections with triage guidance.
  • Use external threat intelligence to prioritize and ground detections in observable behavior.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in detection engineering and proactive threat hunting.
  • 8+ years of building behavior-based detections across large-scale enterprise telemetry.
  • 8+ years of applying Python for data analysis, automation, and feature engineering in cybersecurity.
  • 6+ years of experience with statistical modeling and machine learning methods in security telemetry.
  • Relevant certifications in cybersecurity such as CISSP or CTHP.
