Job summary

Intrado in Longmont, CO is hiring a Senior Detection Engineer (Next-Gen Threat Hunter) to design high-fidelity detections for multi-cloud and on‑prem environments. You will build behavioral models, deploy tripwires, and mentor SOC/IR teams while iterating from field feedback.

This hybrid role requires strong coding in Python/Go, experience in cloud security, and a track record of threat hunting using identity- and behavior-based techniques.

• Experience securing AWS and Azure control planes, IAM auditing, storage access (S3, Azure Blobs), and cloud log management.
• Kubernetes engineering experience including securing cluster control planes and Kube-audit logs.
• Identity- and behavior-based threat hunting using LotL techniques rather than static signatures.
• Hands-on experience engineering automation playbooks and Cortex XSIAM orchestrations.

Responsibilities

• Design high-fidelity detection pipelines for rapid automated attack-chain detection.
• Develop behavioral analytics and anomaly detection beyond static indicators.
• Monitor and protect AWS and Azure infrastructure by tracking API calls and identity movements.
• Unify threat visibility across external attackers and insider threats by mastering identity perimeter.
• Write production-grade Python and automation workflows to instantiate detections.
• Align detection logic with MITRE ATT&CK and cloud/container/identity techniques.
• Deploy tripwires, honey-tokens, and deception to detect lateral movement.
• Analyze API telemetry from applications, Kubernetes, and cloud services for malicious activity.
• Lead analytics and incident response as SME; mentor SOC and IR staff.
