About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team of threat hunters who use their expertise to analyze threats, trends, and tactics used by attackers.

  • Serve as a core component of the Rapid7 ETR team to provide expertise and conduct hunts based on classified emerging threats across MDR customers
  • Conduct targeted hunts during major incidents based on past attacker activity and Incident Manager direction
  • Help document and improve hunting processes, tools, and capabilities
  • Develop new Velociraptor hunt packages based on research and findings
  • Work closely with engineering, endpoint, TIDE, Rapid7 Labs, and Velociraptor teams to prioritize roadmap items that improve threat hunting capabilities
  • Provide timely reporting and feedback to stakeholders
The Skills You'll Bring

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • 2+ years in a DFIR role, primarily focused on endpoint forensics
  • Broad knowledge of threat actor groups and their TTPs
  • Experience with SIEM platforms and querying/analyzing large data sets
  • Ability to work with minimal oversight and prioritize efficiently
  • Strong analytical and research skills
  • Ability to think creatively and intuitively

We estimate the salary for this position to be around $120,000 per year, depending on your location and experience.
