Job description

The Senior Threat Detection Analyst is a cybersecurity expert responsible for advancing the organization’s ability to detect sophisticated and emerging cyber threats across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

This role focuses on advanced detection engineering, proactive threat hunting, and adversary-driven detection, working closely with Threat Intelligence, Security Operations, Incident Response, and Red/Purple Teams. The position plays a strategic role in strengthening the security posture by improving detection maturity, closing visibility gaps, and reducing false positives through high-fidelity detection logic.

Tasks and responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and continuously improve advanced threat detection capabilities.
  • Develop, tune, and maintain high-quality detection rules and behavioral analytics.
  • Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunting activities.
  • Translate adversary TTPs and attack techniques into actionable detections.
  • Collaborate with Threat Intelligence, SOC, Incident Response, and Red/Purple Teams.
  • Analyze complex attack chains, kill chains, and post-exploitation activity.
  • Identify detection gaps and contribute to continuous detection maturity improvements.
  • Reduce false positives while maintaining effective threat visibility.
  • Support purple team activities by leveraging red team and penetration test outputs.

Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in threat detection, threat hunting, detection engineering, red team, or penetration testing.
  • Strong experience designing and tuning detection rules in enterprise environments.
  • Advanced expertise in EDR/XDR platforms (e.g. Microsoft Defender / Microsoft XDR).
  • Solid knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and adversary-driven detection.
  • Hands-on understanding of advanced attack techniques across Windows, Linux, and cloud.
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or similar).
  • Experience collaborating with red, purple, or penetration testing teams.
  • Ability to translate offensive tradecraft into high-fidelity detections.
  • OSEP and CARTE (or equivalent) certifications required.
  • Fluent English; experience in global, cross-functional teams preferred
