The Opportunity
We are looking for a Lead, Threat Hunter. As someone with over 10 years of cybersecurity experience, at least 5 of those years in the trenches focused on DFIR/Threat Hunts, you will focus on defining and maturing the Adversary Pursuit program. As the functionâs analytic lead, you will direct and manage threat hunts, technical table top exercise development, and tactical threat intelligence. Youâll identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement based on findings from these areas. Youâll work closely with our Offensive Security team to ensure a high level of efficacy in our ability to detect threats, and assist the Security Operations team with improvements to our response capabilities.
This is a critical role that will be responsible for developing new methods to search and detect threats across a rapidly scaling, high-value public-private safety network. You will be responsible for defining and executing hunts, determining and prioritizing visibility and detection gaps, and when necessary, assisting with response operations across thousands of deployed hardware devices, extensive cloud infrastructure, and core business applications. You will help with the creation of technical exercises against Flockâs full technology stack (hardware, software, cloud, network) to help increase preparedness and readiness. This role reports to the Director, Incident Response and Adversary Pursuit.
Success in this role will be measured by the development and execution of our threat hunt capabilities, ability and effectiveness to detect prioritized threats, and improved readiness to respond (through metrics such as MTTD).

Mentor and guide junior analysts in hunting methodologies, query optimization, and forensic analysis.
Technical Expertise:
Deep technical expertise in performing DFIR and adversary threat hunts, across diverse environments (corporate systems, cloud - AWS/GCP/Azure, and operational technology networks).
Strong experience performing DFIR on Android IoT devices.
Extensive experience utilizing enterprise security tooling (SIEM, EDR, etc.) as well as developing proprietary tools/scripts to scale the teamâs capabilities.
Experience utilizing sandboxing technology to aid in the analysis of suspicious binaries and scripts; hands-on reverse engineering experience a plus.
Map findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to identify coverage gaps and improve detection posture.
Well versed in using cyber threat intelligence to update requirements, prioritize collection sources and integrate technical TTPs to inform and prioritize hunts.
Create and tune high-fidelity detection rules (e.g., Splunk SPL, YARA, Sigma) based on hunt findings to prevent future recurrence.
Assist with the development of technical table top exercises, ensuring scenario applicability to the organizationâs risk profile and align to real world cyber events.
Operational & Collaboration Skills:
Collaborate with Cybersecurity, Engineering, and Product teams to help plan, and execute threat hunts, providing detailed findings and data backed recommendations for cybersecurity and architectural improvements.
Work closely with the Offensive Security team to help perform regular testing and validation of custom detection rules.
Serve as a Tier 3 escalation point for SOC analysts; perform deep-dive root cause analysis on complex security incidents.
