This is a high-impact, engineering-driven role focused on connecting external threat intelligence with internal telemetry so that what Nscale knows about attackers directly improves how the company detects and responds. The role works closely with Detection & Response and supports security efforts across infrastructure, cloud, and enterprise systems. You'll help strengthen Nscale's security posture by tracking relevant threat actors, campaigns, and emerging techniques, then translating that intelligence into practical detections, defenses, and response improvements. This role matters because it ensures intelligence is not just collected, but operationalized in the systems and workflows that protect the business. This role will be part of the global Cyber Defense organization. What you''ll be doing Threat Intelligence Analysis * Track relevant threat actors, campaigns, and emerging attack techniques tied to Nscale's environment * Analyze adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures to identify meaningful security implications * Produce actionable threat intelligence tailored to infrastructure, cloud, and enterprise systems * Evaluate external intelligence sources, feeds, and tooling for relevance and quality Detection Engineering & Coverage * Translate intelligence into detection logic, SIEM rules, and security controls * Partner with Detection & Response to improve coverage against known adversary behaviors * Maintain mappings to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and identify coverage gaps * Improve defensive visibility by aligning detections to current and emerging threats Systems Integration & Automation * Integrate threat intelligence into SIEM pipelines, enrichment systems, and automation workflows * Leverage AI and automation to process large volumes of threat data and surface patterns * Support the use of intelligence data within operational security systems and workflows Incident Support & Communication * Support incident response and threat hunting with contextual intelligence and hypothesis generation * Communicate insights, risks, and adversary activity clearly to technical teams and leadership * Enable more effective response playbooks by embedding intelligence into response workflows KPIs * Threat intelligence integrated into SIEM pipelines and automation workflows * Detection coverage against known adversary behaviors * Coverage gap tracking through MITRE ATT&CK mappings * Actionable intelligence produced for infrastructure, cloud, and enterprise systems, The responsibilities outlined in this job description are not exhaustive and are intended to provide a general overview of the position.
