Team Overview

We’re looking for a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Analyst to join our security organization and serve as a connective force across our Security Operations Center (SOC), Detection Engineering, Red Team, and Exposure Management functions. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who wants their intelligence work to directly shape what we detect, what we test, and what we prioritize fixing. You’ll translate raw threat data into decisions: which adversary behaviors get new detections, which techniques the red team should emulate next, and which exposures matter most given who’s actually targeting organizations like ours.

Responsibilities

• Track threat actors, campaigns, and TTPs relevant to our industry, geography, and technology stack, and translate findings into actionable intelligence products (briefs, actor profiles, trend reports).
• Partner with the SOC to enrich alerts and investigations with threat context, helping analysts triage faster and more accurately during active incidents.
• Work with Detection Engineering to identify coverage gaps against known adversary behavior (e.g., mapped to MITRE ATT&CK) and help prioritize new detections based on real-world threat relevance.
• Collaborate with the Red Team to shape threat-informed emulation plans, ensuring exercises reflect the tactics of adversaries most likely to target the organization.
• Feed intelligence into Exposure Management to help prioritize vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack surface findings based on active exploitation trends and threat actor intent.
• Monitor open-source intelligence (OSINT), dark web sources, ISACs, and commercial threat feeds; assess relevance and reliability of incoming intelligence.
• Produce and maintain adversary tracking documentation, including TTP matrices, campaign timelines, and indicator repositories.
• Deliver both tactical (IOC/TTP-level) and strategic (executive-level trend and risk) intelligence outputs tailored to different stakeholders.
• Participate in incident response as a threat intelligence liaison, providing attribution context and likely adversary next-steps.
• Contribute to purple team exercises by bridging red team findings with detection and intelligence perspectives.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in cyber threat intelligence, SOC, incident response, or a closely related security discipline.
• Solid working knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and experience mapping adversary behavior to it.
• Familiarity with threat intelligence platforms and OSINT collection/analysis techniques.
• Experience working with SIEM/EDR tooling to pivot on and validate intelligence.
• Understanding of vulnerability management and exposure management concepts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor technical intelligence for both analysts and executives.
• Analytical mindset with sound tradecraft: structured analytic techniques, confidence levels, and source reliability assessment.

Skills

• Familiarity with scripting or data analysis (Python, SQL) for intelligence automation or enrichment.
• Experience with STIX/TAXII or other structured threat data sharing standards.
• Prior experience in a fusion-center or cross-functional security model bridging detection, red teaming, and exposure/vulnerability management.
