As a Threat Hunter in the Threat Intelligence Operations (TI-OPS) team, you will have a particular focus on supporting our Threat Hunting program. Here you will develop threat hypothesis of adversary behavior, execute hunting missions, write briefs on hunting analytics, -missions and -findings, and performing continuous improvement activities of our processes, procedures, methods and tooling as needed. You will play an integral part in the production of Threat Hunting deliverables, and in analysing threats and data originating from thousands of incidents detected by mnemonic, third party telemetry, as well as novel sources and methods.
To be successful in this role, you must be self-driven with in-depth technical knowledge, and the curiosity to dive deeply into the intersection between Security Operations, Digital Forensics and Threat Intelligence.

What you will do
We approch our work by striving to make our intelligence insights both actionable and impactful, as we continue to push ourselves in close collaboration with Security Operations, Detection Engineering, and Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). We perform threat research using a variety of open- and closed sources and partnerships, and use this insight to continuously mature our market-leading MDR service and to drive projects, services and external engagements on CTI subject matters. We believe that today's threats must be combated by detection- and mitigation strategies that are intelligence-driven and continuously adapted to an ever-changing threat landscape.
This approach is also reflected in the variety of tasks this position covers, including:
