About The Job

If you are passionate about uncovering advanced cyber threats and thinking like an attacker to stay one step ahead, this role is for you. You will join the Allianz Cyber Defense Center (ACDC), a global, highly collaborative team protecting Allianz worldwide. As part of a brand‑new hunting team, you will play a key role in building next‑generation threat hunting capabilities—leveraging automation, machine learning, and innovative approaches to detect what traditional detections might miss. This is a unique opportunity to shape a new capability from the ground up, contribute to an AI‑driven Cyber Defense Center, and have a direct impact on safeguarding millions of users and systems globally.

What You Do

• Design and execute hypothesis‑driven threat hunting activities to uncover advanced and previously undetected threats.
• Build and evolve automated, scalable hunting capabilities using machine learning and agent‑based approaches.
• Conduct continuous compromise assessments across Allianz systems, identifying suspicious activity across endpoints, identities, and networks.
• Analyze security events, logs, and network data to detect anomalies and derive actionable insights.
• Collaborate closely with Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence teams to enhance overall security coverage.
• Integrate threat intelligence into hunting workflows, continuously adapting strategies based on emerging threats.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and automation capabilities within the ACDC.

What You Bring

• Strong experience (6+ years) in threat hunting, security operations, or incident response within complex environments.
• Hands‑on experience with security technologies such as EDR (e.g., CrowdStrike, Defender), SIEM platforms, and log analysis.
• Solid understanding of attacker behaviour, TTPs, and the ability to apply this knowledge in real‑world hunting scenarios.
• Programming and automation skills (e.g., Python, Go) to develop scalable detection and hunting solutions.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to correlate data from multiple sources and identify meaningful patterns.
• Experience working in collaborative, international environments and coordinating with multiple stakeholders.
• Fluent English communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

What We Offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in‑person collaboration and remote working, including up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
