Job Description

The Senior Threat Hunter will be responsible for proactively identifying and mitigating advanced threats across enterprise environments. The role involves leveraging behavioural analytics, threat intelligence, and hypothesis-driven hunting to detect stealthy adversaries that evade traditional security controls.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct proactive threat hunting across endpoints, network, cloud, and identity systems using telemetry and behavioral indicators.
Develop hunting hypotheses based on current threat landscape, TTPs (MITRE ATTCK), and internal observations.
Perform deep-dive investigations into anomalies and suspicious activity detected by SIEM, EDR, NDR, or XDR platforms.
Collaborate with incident response, SOC analysts, and threat intelligence teams to validate and escalate findings.
Create and tune detection rules (e.g., in SIEM/XDR) to improve coverage and reduce false positives.
Maintain and evolve hunting playbooks and analytical methodologies.
Utilize threat intelligence to identify new indicators of compromise (IOCs) and behavioral patterns.
Lead post-hunt reviews, documenting findings, root cause, and recommendations.
Provide mentorship and training to junior analysts and hunters.
Participate in purple team exercises and collaborate with red teams to validate defenses.

Required Skills Experience:

5 6 years of hands-on experience in threat hunting, incident response, or advanced SOC analysis.
Strong knowledge of Windows, Linux, and Active Directory internals.
Expertise in one or more SIEM/XDR tools (e.g., Stellar Cyber).
Proficiency in analyzing network traffic, endpoint logs, and cloud telemetry.
Understanding of MITRE ATTCK, Cyber Kill Chain, and Diamond Model frameworks.
Scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and data analysis.
Experience with threat intelligence feeds, IOC management, and correlation.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
