❖ Proactively conduct hypothesis-driven threat hunting across enterprise networks, endpoints, cloud, and hybrid environments to identify advanced persistent threats (APTs) and hidden malicious activities.


❖ Investigate suspicious events and analyze attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.


❖ Perform advanced analysis of security logs, endpoint telemetry, network traffic, authentication events, and cloud security data to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs) and indicators of attack (IOAs).


❖ Develop and refine threat hunting methodologies, playbooks, and standard operating procedures.

❖ 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity operations, threat hunting, incident response, security monitoring, or detection/security engineering.


❖ Demonstrable, hands-on experience leading or performing proactive threat hunts in enterprise scale environments.


❖ Strong understanding of threat hunting methodologies, cyber kill chain, MITRE ATT&CK framework, and adversary TTPs.


❖ Experience with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Cortex XDR, or equivalent.


❖ Experience analyzing Windows, Linux, Active Directory, cloud, endpoint, and network security telemetry.


❖ Knowledge of threat intelligence platforms, IOC analysis, malware behavior, and advanced attack techniques.


❖ Experience developing detection rules, hunting queries (KQL, SPL, or equivalent), and SIEM use cases.


❖ Relevant certifications such as SC-200, GCTI, GCIH, GCFA, CISSP, CISM, CompTIA CySA+, or equivalent are preferred.


❖ Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, operating system internals, and common enterprise architectures (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid).
