At ING Hubs Spain we are looking for a Threat Engineer in Threat Management

Your role and work environment:

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Threat Engineer to join our Global Threat Management Team within the Cyber Threat Management area.

The responsibility of this team is to transform threat intelligence and security telemetry into actionable insights that strengthen detection, prioritisation and cybersecurity decision-making, and our way of working is based on data-driven analysis, cloud engineering, automation and close collaboration with threat intelligence and cybersecurity specialists.

In this role, you will combine cybersecurity expertise with software engineering, cloud infrastructure and data analysis. You will design and operate automations and integrations that help ING identify, investigate and respond to cyber threats more effectively across a complex global environment.

Your key responsibilities:

As a Threat Engineer you will:

• Positively contribute to the detection, prioritisation and investigation of cyber threats by designing and implementing scalable automations.
• Co-create intelligence-driven security solutions with threat intelligence specialists, cybersecurity experts and architects.
• Ensure large-scale security telemetry and threat intelligence data are transformed into actionable insights for operational teams and executive decision-making.
• Automate and accelerate threat analysis using standard and custom-built tooling, primarily developed in Python.
• Deploy and operate infrastructure and automations on cloud and data platforms such as Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Databricks, ensuring scalability, reliability and governance.
• Design integrations across data sources, security tools and services to improve intelligence-driven detection and analysis.
• Leverage AI, GenAI and automation selectively and securely to streamline workflows, enrich threat intelligence processes and deliver measurable operational value.
• Create clear technical documentation, diagrams and visualisations to communicate solutions, insights and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Maintain, troubleshoot and resolve deployment, installation, configuration and integration issues across cloud infrastructure, security tooling and custom-built solutions.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and use version-control practices to support reliable and repeatable delivery.

What are we looking for?

Want to know if this job is made for you? These are some of the qualities that we value the most for this role.

• Experience translating complex cyber threat challenges into robust, data-driven technical solutions.
• Strong Python development skills for analysis, automation and custom tooling, with practical experience using Jupyter Notebooks.
• Hands-on experience deploying solutions across cloud environments such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform, using Terraform or comparable Infrastructure as Code solutions.
• Experience using GenAI or large language model capabilities selectively, securely and with a clear focus on measurable operational value.
• Solid understanding of cloud platforms, networking, system administration, infrastructure architecture and the operating model of CISO organisations in medium-to-large enterprises.
• Strong hands-on experience diagnosing and resolving deployment, installation and integration issues across cloud environments, infrastructure components and custom-built tools.
• Ability to design end-to-end solutions and translate complex system landscapes into clear, implementable designs.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and working with version-control systems such as Git.
• Familiarity with malware behaviour, threat actors and adversary tactics, techniques and procedures.
• Curiosity, strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate proactively and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have
