• Document findings, create repeatable hunt playbooks, and collaborate with detection engineering to automate responses and improve defenses.
• Research emerging threats, malware, and TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures); generate reports and recommend mitigations.
• Conduct threat hunting campaigns, assess vulnerabilities, and support incident response while optimizing hunting tools and processes.
  
  

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field; advanced certifications like GCTI, CTIA, or OSCP preferred.
• 5+ years in cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in SOC, incident response, and threat hunting.
• Proficiency in tools such as CrowdStrike Falcon, Splunk, Wireshark, YARA, and Python for scripting and automation.
• Strong analytical skills, knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK framework, and understanding of cloud/network security.
