  • Collaborate with senior analysts and engineers on detection and intelligence use cases

  • Track threat actor TTPs and help correlate activity with MITRE ATT&CK techniques

  • Contribute to internal reports and knowledge base development

The skills you will bring include: 

  • Foundational understanding of threat intelligence and malware analysis

  • Familiarity with detection engineering concepts (YARA, Sigma, IOC enrichment)

  • Basic experience with dynamic/static malware analysis tools (e.g., VirusTotal, Any.Run, Ghidra, IDA Free)
