Job Title: Senior AI Cyber Threat Hunter
Location: Richardson, TX
Job Type: Full-Time
Job Summary
Our 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.
