We are looking for a highly skilled professional with deep expertise in threat detection, threat analysis, and incident response to join our client’s cybersecurity team. The role involves identifying and mitigating security threats across mobile (4G/5G) and broadband (fiber/cable) network infrastructures by analyzing telemetry, logs, and traffic patterns from various network elements, security appliances, and data sources.

The successful candidate will play a key role in defending core infrastructure, detecting advanced persistent threats, and driving rapid, coordinated responses to security incidents.

Key Responsibilities

• Threat Detection & Monitoring
• Develop and maintain security detection rules and use cases tailored to mobile and broadband network elements.
• Monitor security telemetry from firewalls, routers, EPC, gNB/eNB, BNG, DHCP, DNS, DPI, and OSS/BSS systems.
• Correlate data across sources to identify abnormal behaviors, lateral movement, command-and-control activity, and insider threats.
• Threat Intelligence & Analysis.
• Perform in-depth analysis of potential threats using threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, and attack frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).
• Enrich alerts with contextual data to assess relevance and risk to the organization.
• Track and analyze emerging threats specific to telecommunications infrastructure (e.g., signaling attacks, SIM hijacking, DDoS on RAN/Core).
• Incident Response & Management
• Lead the triage, containment, and eradication of security incidents across the mobile and broadband environments.
• Work closely with NOC, SOC, and network engineering teams to isolate affected systems, block malicious traffic, and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Conduct post-incident reviews, root cause analysis, and develop lessons-learned documentation.
• Security Automation & Tooling
• Enhance and automate detection and response capabilities using SOAR, SIEM, and custom scripts/tools.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps and automation teams to implement proactive detection logic in CI/CD pipelines and monitoring systems.
• Compliance & Reporting
• Ensure incidents and threats are logged and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements (e.g., CSA, IMDA, GDPR).
• Develop dashboards, alerts, and reports for executives and security leadership.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related technical field.
• 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with 3+ years in threat detection/response within telecommunications or ISP environments.
• Strong knowledge of mobile networks (4G LTE, 5G SA/NSA) and broadband architectures (GPON, DOCSIS, BNG, DPI).
• Proficient in analyzing logs from firewalls, routers, SIEMs, NetFlow, and PCAP.
• Deep understanding of cyberattack lifecycle, malware analysis, and adversary techniques.
• Familiarity with tools such as Splunk, ELK, QRadar, Suricata, Bro/Zeek, Wireshark.
