**The Role**
We are seeking a Cyber Threat Hunt Technical Lead to lead technical work and projects within Hunt Section.

This is a technical role, requiring an aptitude for complex problem solving and the ability to conduct deep analysis of network communications and endpoint activities to unearth malicious tradecraft.

Successful applicants will hunt for sophisticated actors on priority networks by developing and implementing innovative detection capabilities and analytical tradecraft. We want you to join our team to assist ASD in defending against these advanced threats.

As a Hunt Technical Lead, you will direct technical work, collaborate with your peers and leverage your deep cyber security knowledge to lead effective and thorough hunt operations. This involves scoping hunt activities, technical problem solving during hunts and engagement with hunt customers. This role also has a leadership component - you will be expected to mentor and coach hunt analysts, assign them technical tasks and provide quality assurance of their work.

There are vacant Technical Lead positions across ASD’s Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne offices.

**About our Team**
ASD invites you to take the next step in your career.

We are looking for individuals with a passion for understanding, discovering and countering cyber threats impacting Australia and its interests.

The Technical Threats and Visibility (TTV) Branch in ASD’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) detects adversaries targeting or exploiting Australian networks by analysing their technical tools and tradecraft. The ACSC uses this deep understanding to defend and disrupt malicious activity that threatens Australia’s national security.

TTV’s Hunt Section conducts targeted, intelligence-led operations to detect sophisticated threat actors on Australian Government and Critical Infrastructure (CI) networks. Hunt uses custom tools, tailored detections and all-source intelligence in its pursuit of undetected compromises. Hunt works closely with other areas within ASD - as well as industry and international partners - to improve its capabilities and operational outcomes.

At ASD, we will strongly invest in your career by supplying you with rewarding opportunities, flexible working arrangements, comprehensive internal and external training, and a competitive employment package designed for skilled employees.
