We are seeking a seasoned Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Specialist to proactively identify and mitigate advanced threats across enterprise environments. This role involves leveraging behavioural analytics, threat intelligence, and hypothesis-driven hunting to detect stealthy adversaries that evade traditional security controls.

Key Responsibilities :

• Conduct proactive threat hunting across endpoints, network, cloud, and identity systems using telemetry and behavioural indicators.
• Develop hunting hypotheses based on current threat landscape, TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK), and internal observations.
• Perform deep-dive investigations into anomalies and suspicious activity detected by SIEM, EDR, NDR, or XDR platforms.
• Collaborate with incident response, SOC analysts, and threat intelligence teams to validate and escalate findings.
• Create and tune detection rules (e.g., in SIEM / XDR) to improve coverage and reduce false positives.
• Maintain and evolve hunting playbooks and analytical methodologies.
• Utilize threat intelligence to identify new indicators of compromise (IOCs) and behavioural patterns.
• Lead post-hunt reviews, documenting findings, root cause, and recommendations.
• Provide mentorship and training to junior analysts and hunters.
• Participate in purple team exercises and collaborate with red teams to validate defenses.
