Senior AI Cyber Threat Hunter

Cyber Defense Team is seeking an advanced Cyber Threat Hunter to proactively identify sophisticated adversaries lurking within our network. You will leverage AI/ML algorithms to sift through massive datasets, identifying anomalies, weak signals, and malicious activities that evade standard automated defenses. The role involves rapid pivoting through data, conducting deep-dive forensics, and partnering with detection engineers to turn hunts into automated detection rules. Responsibilities Proactive Hunting: Conduct advanced, hypothesis-driven threat hunting campaigns to uncover hidden malicious activity, utilizing AI-based behavioral analytics. AI/ML Integration: Apply machine learning models and data science techniques to analyze large-scale security telemetry (logs, endpoint, network, cloud) to surface anomalous patterns. Adversary Simulation: Analyze emerging threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) using threat intelligence to guide hunts. Detection Engineering: Work closely with engineering teams to convert manual investigative findings into durable SIEM alerts and automated detections. Forensics & Analysis: Perform deep-dive analysis of malware and indicators of compromise (IOCs), reverse-engineering exploits to understand scope and impact. Documentation: Meticulously document hunt approaches, findings, and actionable insights to improve long-term resilience. Required Skills & Qualifications Experience: 5+ years in cybersecurity, with at least 3 years specifically in threat hunting or incident response. AI/ML Knowledge: Demonstrated experience applying machine learning or statistical analysis to cybersecurity data. Scripting: Proficient in Python for parsing logs, data correlation, and automation (PowerShell/Bash a plus). Technology Stack: Strong understanding of SIEM platforms, EDR tools, network traffic analysis, and cloud environments (AWS/Azure). Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze large, disparate datasets and pivot through forensic trails. Preferred Skills & Qualifications Certifications: Active GCIH, GCDA, GCTI, or similar advanced security certifications preferred. Why Join Us? Join a team utilizing cutting‑edge AI technology to solve complex security problems. This role is crucial to our proactive defense posture, offering the opportunity to directly shape our future detection capabilities. #J-18808-Ljbffr
