Are you passionate about staying one step ahead of adversaries? Do you thrive on analyzing complex threats across IT and OT environments? We are looking for both Senior Threat Hunters and Junior/Intermediate Threat Hunters to join a growing Cyber Security Operations team.

Our client is building a proactive Threat Hunting capability from the ground up to protect national security and operational resilience. We are currently looking for both Senior and Intermediate Threat Hunters to join their growing Cyber Security Operations team

The Roles:

We have opportunities for experienced hunters to lead the charge and for ambitious junior hunters to develop their skills in a world-class environment.

  • Senior Threat Hunter: Lead advanced hunting methodologies, mentor the team, and drive technical innovation.
  • Threat Hunter (Intermediate/Junior): Deliver proactive hunting activities, support incident response, and grow your expertise in a complex environment.

Key Responsibilities (Both Levels):

  • Proactively hunt for indicators of compromise and adversary tactics across IT & OT networks.
  • Develop and maintain structured hunting methodologies and playbooks.
  • Analyze threat intelligence and correlate it with internal telemetry.
  • Identify telemetry gaps and collaborate with engineering teams to improve detection logic.
  • Adapt hunting techniques to unique OT/ICS environments (legacy systems, operational safety).
  • Produce clear, actionable reports and recommendations.
  • Assist incident response with technical analysis and threat context.
  • Drive automation and scripting initiatives.

What We Are Looking For:

Essential Skills (Both Levels):

  • Practical experience in Threat Hunting, SOC operations, or Cyber Forensics.
  • Strong understanding of adversary TTPs and frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain).
  • Familiarity with SIEM platforms and threat intelligence integration.
  • Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Regex) for automation.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Knowledge of regulatory frameworks (GDPR, NIS Directive) and security standards (NCSC CAF).

Desirable:

  • Degree in Cyber Security, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Relevant certifications (GIAC GDAT, GCFA, GCIA, etc.).
  • Experience with cloud/hybrid environments.
  • Knowledge of OT-specific threats and ICS/SCADA security.

The Senior Role Requires:

  • Extensive experience in advanced SOC operations and complex enterprise environments.
  • Proven leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder influencing skills.
  • Ability to handle complex, cross-domain threat investigations.

The Junior/Intermediate Role Requires:

  • Solid foundational experience in threat hunting.
  • Capability to execute assigned tasks with autonomy.
  • A strong eagerness to learn and contribute to team knowledge
