What are we looking for?

We are looking for a Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer to join the SentinelLabs team. This role is designed for a highly skilled, self-directed engineer who excels in programming and analytical problem-solving. As a key developer of our threat intelligence tooling, you will work closely with threat hunters and security researchers to produce innovative tools that automate, enhance, curate, and expand our team's capabilities. Your expertise will be pivotal in navigating various technology stacks and rapidly prototyping tools to codify threat hunting processes into a repeatable pipeline. The systems and tools you develop will be instrumental in enabling threat hunting, telemetry enrichment, and data curation, supporting diverse stakeholders across SentinelOne.

What will you do? 

As a Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer at SentinelLabs, your primary responsibilities will include:

• Collaborating closely with threat hunters and security researchers to identify their needs, translating these into technical specifications for tool development.
• Developing and integrating tools with Vertex Synapse, incorporating external enrichments, custom internal tools, and existing power ups to meet research requirements.
• Rapidly prototyping and refining tools to ensure they effectively support threat hunting processes and are seamlessly integrated into a repeatable pipeline.
• Designing and implementing systems for telemetry enrichment and data curation to streamline the collection, analysis, storage, tagging, and enrichment of indicators of compromise and related data.
• Codifying threat hunting processes to maximize the value of diverse and unique data sources, meaningfully contributing to SentinelLabs threat research.

What skills and knowledge should you bring?

• Expertise working with threat intelligence platforms, particularly Vertex Synapse, with a strong understanding of how to leverage these platforms for data enrichment and threat intelligence automation.
• A solid understanding of threat hunting processes and the ability to codify these processes into repeatable, scalable pipelines that enhance the efficacy of threat research efforts.
• Strong analytical skills, capable of dissecting complex problems, synthesizing actionable information from diverse data sources, and finding opportunities for novel correlation.
• Experience in software development, with strong proficiency in Python and/or Go, especially in developing and maintaining tools for security applications.
• Comfort with rapidly prototyping and iterating on tools to ensure they meet the evolving needs of threat hunters and security researchers.
• Knowledge of security telemetry data management, including the collection, analysis, storage, tagging, and enrichment of indicators of compromise and associated data sources such as VirusTotal Intelligence/Stairwell, and types like passive DNS, netflow, and scanning.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to work effectively with cross-functional teams and surmise technical requirements from diverse stakeholders.
