ASD EL1 Technical Lead – Cyber Threat Hunt 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.
