This role sits at the intersection of security engineering, data analytics, and behavioral threat hunting. Unlike traditional perimeter-focused cybersecurity roles, this position focuses on identifying, mitigating, and engineering detection controls around internal human-risk factors, anomalous behavioral patterns, and unauthorized data movement.\nThe ideal candidate blends an investigative mindset with engineering acumen to design, tune, and operationalize high-fidelity detections, proactively hunt across massive enterprise telemetry datasets, and continuously enhance our insider threat mitigation posture.\nKey Responsibilities\nDetection Engineering & Rule Optimization\nDevelop, test, tune, and maintain behavioral analytics, hunt-based queries, and SIEM/data platform detection rules to identify insider threat vectors (e.g., data exfiltration, privilege abuse, unauthorized access).\nTranslate investigative insights and newly identified threat patterns into automated, resilient detection logic.\nMonitor detection effectiveness, minimizing false positives while maximizing coverage against known insider attack methodologies.\nProactive Threat Hunting & Analytics\nConduct hypothesis-driven threat hunting across multi-source log repositories, behavioral baselines, and disparate telemetry data to uncover undetected threats.\nAnalyze and troubleshoot large, complex datasets to establish normal baseline activity and isolate anomalies.\nPartner with incident response and insider threat analysts to operationalize hunt findings into long-term defensive safeguards.\nEngineering Support & Process Improvement\nSupport the end-to-end detection engineering lifecycle, incorporating Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) best practices, version control, and comprehensive technical documentation.\nParticipate in testing, validation, and continuous delivery of detection artifacts.\nManage priorities autonomously in a fast-paced environment, driving deliverables from concept through deployment.\nCandidate Qualifications & Requirements\nDesired Skills & Experience\nDomain Knowledge: Strong understanding of core Cybersecurity and Insider Threat concepts, specifically the behavioral, access, and human-centric risk models that distinguish insider threats from external attacks.\n Query & Detection Engineering: 6+ years of experience constructing, tuning, and executing complex queries within SIEM, data lake, or log analytics platforms (e.g., Splunk, KQL/Sentinel, Elastic, SQL, Snowflake).\nThreat Hunting: Demonstrated ability to perform proactive, hypothesis-based threat hunting to identify stealthy, anomalous, or policy-violating activity across enterprise log sources.\nData Analysis & Troubleshooting: Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to navigate, sanitize, query, and troubleshoot high-volume, heterogeneous datasets.\nSelf-Directed Execution: Demonstrated capability to independently manage workload, prioritize high-impact initiatives, and deliver results with minimal supervision.\nBehavioral Attributes & Core Competencies\nInquisitive & Investigative Mindset: High natural curiosity and an \"outside-the-box\" analytical approach to solving ambiguous problems and tracing subtle anomalies.\nHybrid Engineering & Investigation Focus: Ability to view telemetry through both an investigator's analytical lens and a software/security engineer’s systems-building perspective.\nEffective Communication: Ability to articulate complex data findings and engineering designs clearly to technical peers and non-technical stakeholders alike.\nEducation:\nBachelor’s degree/University degree or equivalent experience\nMaster’s degree preferred\nThis job description provides a high-level review of the types of work performed.
