Threat Intelligence Engineer

Role Description

The Threat Intelligence Engineer is someone with real threat intelligence depth and the technical ability to understand threat feeds’ data model and map it correctly to STIX 2.1, who uses AI to make that work dramatically faster. Someone who can be our threat intelligence SME: writing the use cases, supporting pre-sales and customers, and giving Product the domain expertise that shapes what we build.

What You Will Do:

• Map feeds to STIX and own the connector portfolio
• Design and maintain mappings from commercial, open-source, and community threat intelligence sources into STIX 2.1 objects, relationships, markings, patterning, and extensions while preserving semantic fidelity.
• Understand threat intel feed data models when API documentation is incomplete or missing: inspect live payloads, sample data, and vendor dashboards to establish ground truth
• Own connector lifecycle and quality—from onboarding new sources to detecting schema drift, validating mappings, and ensuring production reliability
• Work directly with feed, sandbox, DRP, and enrichment partners on integrations and joint use cases
• Leverage AI to accelerate engineering workflows
• Build and improve an AI-assisted mapping workflow: infer schemas from sample payloads, propose candidate field-to-STIX mappings from documentation, and flag schema changes, while maintaining rigorous validation and human oversight
• Be the threat intelligence SME for Product
• Write threat intelligence use cases that drive product design, and pressure-test new capabilities against real analyst workflows.
• Partner with Product to shape intelligence workflows, including PIRs, ATT&CK-aligned investigations, threat modeling, prioritization, collaboration, and intelligence-driven automation
• Represent Cyware on MITRE and industry alliance committees, and bring what you learn back inside
• Be the threat intelligence SME for the field
• Serve as the technical threat intelligence expert for customers, prospects, and partners, translating complex intelligence concepts into practical business value
• Enable Solution Architects, Sales Engineers, and Customer Success Managers with the threat intelligence knowledge and use cases they need to win and deliver

Qualifications

• US Citizenship is a requirement of this position in accordance with 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(2)(C)
• 5+ years in threat intelligence as an analyst, engineer, or specialist, with hands-on experience on enterprise-scale security products
• Deep working knowledge of STIX/TAXII 2.1 objects, relationships, patterning, markings, and how to handle source data that does not fit the standard cleanly. You have implemented STIX mappings in production—not just studied the specification
• Hands-on experience with commercial and open-source threat feeds and enrichment sources (CrowdStrike, Mandiant, Recorded Future, Flashpoint, Intel 471, MISP, etc.), and with threat intelligence platforms
• Python: you write real code. API clients, parsers, normalizers, validators. This role builds and debugs; it does not spec and hand off
• Practical AI fluency. You have used LLMs for real technical work: schema inference, data mapping, documentation parsing, code generation, and you know where they fail
• Strong command of the intelligence lifecycle, MITRE ATT&CK, and the handling of IOCs, TTPs, and threat actors in conjunction with SOC, incident response, and threat hunting operations
• Comfortable in a customer-facing, cross-functional seat: you can defend a mapping decision to an engineer and explain the value of intelligence to a CISO
• Demonstrated ability to work successfully with colleagues across different time zones and geographies
