Is this job info correct?
We are seeking a highly capable and hands-on Threat Hunter to join a passionate and motivated, industry-leading team focused on identifying sophisticated adversaries through hypothesis-driven analysis and automation. You will be responsible for proactively hunting and analysing advanced threats across the customers environment using our proprietary hunting framework, ensuring our threat models and threat hunts are tightly aligned to the customer.

As a Threat Hunter, you will actively search for cyber threats that evade traditional security solutions. Your role will involve conducting in-depth intelligence-led, hypothesis-driven analysis of TTPs and behaviours, and working cross-functionally with the Security Operations Centre Analysts, Global Detection Engineers, Privacy Team and Engineering Team to mitigate risks.

Key Responsibilities

  • Use NCC Group’s HITS Framework, threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK, and risk models to form hypotheses and validate them through structured hunts.
  • Leverage GitLab, Sigma, Jupyter Notebooks and other tools to automate hunts, visualise results, and create reusable artifacts for future investigations and detections.
  • Collaborate with detection engineering to convert threat hunt findings into high fidelity detection content.
  • Utilising both NCC Groups internal threat intelligence feeds and open-source threat intelligence, use these to operationalise detections for emerging threats.
  • Support the mapping of threat models to monitoring use cases in partnership with teams across the business.
  • Document and maintain a robust repository for hunting methodologies, tooling, and findings to enable continuous improvement and team scaling.
  • Provide regular reports and presentations to stakeholders, with clear articulation of threats, methods, and risk impact.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

  • The ideal candidate is a highly skilled and proactive Threat Hunter with a strong background in hypothesis-driven hunting, adversary TTP analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • They have hands-on experience in Threat Hunting, Red Team, Blue Team, or Incident Response roles, with a deep understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and a proven ability to detect and investigate advanced threats beyond signature-based solutions.
  • Experienced using one or more of Splunk, Microsoft, CrowdStrike and SentinelOne SIEM and EDR stacks.
  • Experience translating threat intelligence into actionable insights and working alongside detection engineers and security analysts to operationalise findings.
  • They should be driven by curiosity and methodical thinking, constantly seeking to improve visibility and detection coverage across complex environments—including hybrid or cloud-native architectures like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • They will be comfortable presenting findings to stakeholders and documenting methodologies.
  • They thrive in fast-moving, varied and dynamic environments and are passionate about staying ahead of evolving threats.
What we are looking for in you
  • Experience within a Threat Hunter, Red Team, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Malware Analysis or Blue Team role.
  • Solid understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, TTP analysis, and adversary emulation.
  • Deep familiarity with hypothesis-driven threat hunting frameworks and methodologies.
  • Ability to work autonomously while collaborating across security, engineering, and business teams.
  • Strong scripting/query language skills (e.g., Python, KQL, SQL, PowerShell).
