Senior Threat Researcher- Threat Detection Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Threat Researcher – Threat Detection Engineer in India.

This role sits at the core of advanced cyber defense, focusing on identifying, analyzing, and translating sophisticated threat activity into high-fidelity detection logic.
You will work within a highly technical security environment, leveraging large-scale telemetry and threat intelligence to detect malware, intrusion patterns, and evolving attack techniques.
The position involves close collaboration with threat intelligence, research, and engineering teams to continuously enhance detection capabilities across global security platforms.
You will transform complex security signals into actionable alerts, ensuring accuracy, speed, and minimal noise for analysts and customers.
The role requires deep hands-on expertise in threat research, detection engineering, and security analytics in fast-paced, mission-critical environments.
This is a high-impact opportunity to directly influence how advanced cyber threats are detected and neutralized at scale.

• Develop advanced detection logic and countermeasures based on threat intelligence, malware analysis, and research outputs.
• Analyze endpoint behavior, system logs, and multi-source telemetry to design high-fidelity detection rules.
• Continuously refine detection systems to improve signal quality and reduce false positives and alert noise.
• Research and implement detection coverage for new data sources, integrations, and security events.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to enhance internal detection infrastructure, automation, and tooling.
• Partner with threat intelligence teams to operationalize findings into production-ready detections.
• Act as a technical subject matter expert across product, research, and security operations teams.
• Support continuous improvement of detection pipelines through experimentation, validation, and performance tuning.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity with at least 5+ years focused on threat detection engineering or detection content development.
• Strong expertise in threat research, malware behavior analysis, and security telemetry interpretation.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, and Bash.
• Experience using Python data libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, or Matplotlib for security analytics.
• Strong understanding of endpoint security, Windows/Linux internals, and system-level behavior analysis.
• Experience analyzing logs from firewalls, proxies, EDR tools, and security infrastructure.
• Familiarity with threat hunting methodologies, event correlation, and incident reconstruction.
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automation workflows, and testing frameworks.
• Experience with network traffic analysis and identification of anomalous or malicious patterns.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to work in complex, fast-evolving security environments.
• Experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, or forensic investigation is highly desirable.

Benefits:

• Remote-first working model with flexibility in work arrangements.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge global cybersecurity threats and intelligence systems.
• High-impact role contributing directly to large-scale threat detection and defense systems.
• Collaborative, research-driven environment with strong technical communities.
• Exposure to advanced security technologies, threat intelligence, and global security operations.
• Learning and development opportunities within a world-class cybersecurity organization.
• Inclusive culture with wellbeing initiatives and employee support programs.
