Adversaries make mistakes and you know how to use these to your advantage.
We have moved beyond the traditional FUD approach of security and depend on data for analysis. Rumors and speculation don’t protect our customers, and that’s something we take very seriously.
Put simply: data or it didn’t happen. However, data is all well and good, but it’s just sitting there doing nothing. Without intelligence and interpretation, we’re just filling up disks. While the storage companies are more than happy to sell us petabytes of spindles, we are driven to make something of this data. We need someone to join our team that lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps security data and the associated analysis.
**On a Daily Basis Our Team’s Attention Is Focused On Two Areas (the Right Person Will Be Adept And Happy In Doing Both)**
- Intelligence analysis: think reviewing advisories, pulling apart malware, maturing indicators, creating situational awareness and collaborating with our CSIRT.
- Proactive threat hunting: digging through an environment for adversaries who don’t trigger an alarm.
Our team members will also participate within various security communities as active contributors not only for the benefit of Mjolnir Security, but for the benefit of the Internet as a whole.
**Required Skills**:
- Live logs. Love logs. Eat logs. Breathe logsdid we mention logs?
- You know the difference between data, information and intelligence. “The intelligence lifecycle” isn’t something you just Googled for the first time today.
- Intelligence isn’t just something you consume, it’s also something you also produce. This isn’t about just plugging a paid feed into and flooding our CSIRT with alerts.
- The devil is in the detail, sifting through marketing laden breach reports to find those gems of relevance is something you do with passion.
- Proactive trumps reactive, you thrive at digging through logs to find badness which security controls don’t.
- Beaconing, persistence and lateral movement aren’t just something you’ve read about in a book. You know them inside out, how they vary and can spot them a mile away.
- Communication is your forte and you can engage various levels of the business, differentiating opinion from fact.
- Static and dynamic malware analysis are something you can do in your sleep, laughing at lame obfuscation techniques.
- Methodical and repeatable are your mantra, documentation and taking notes are your friend.
- Off the shelf programs don’t exist for all of your needs, so you’ve built your tools, and tools for others.
- Network packet ninja and file system sleuth alike, your skills translate to both hosts and networks.
- We’re a globally distributed team, so you’re ready to hop on our slack channels and join in. A sense of humor and thick skin are definitely required.
- You like humans as well as 1’s and 0’s. This isn’t the place for a one person army, teamwork and collaboration are things which you value.
- You’re not afraid to automate your way out of a job (don’t worry, we have plenty of interesting things to do).
**Desired Skills**
- Ideally, you’ve done all of the above at scale. We’re not a startup.
- Touching disk is so 2001, you’ve got memory forensic skills.
- Rallying a small team and coordinating activities to reach an objective is your forte, you have demonstrable experience managing and leading a small team (whilst still getting your own hands dirty).
A big plus if you have an awesome home lab
