Job description
from Adobe careersThe Opportunity
As a Senior Cyber Threat Hunter, you will conduct proactive threat hunts and campaigns. These efforts uncover advanced adversary activity that bypasses standard defenses. You will work with minimal supervision and apply deep knowledge of adversary behaviors and DFIR experience. You will analyze large-scale log telemetry and turn ambiguous signals into defensible conclusions. Your findings will improve detection coverage and reduce attacker dwell time across Adobe’s environment!
This role suits someone genuinely passionate about cybersecurity who thrives on analytical problem-solving. They have a deep understanding of log forensics in large enterprises and want to expand their impact across the threat hunting program and partner teams!
The Challenge
- Complete TTP-based hunts informed by threat intelligence and business risk.
- Apply analytical techniques, including statistical and pattern-based approaches, to investigate large datasets, identify anomalies, and surface meaningful signals across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network telemetry.
- Work with Detection Engineering to help convert hunt findings into durable detections and analytics.
- Develop scripts and lightweight automation to accelerate hunting and investigation workflows using Python, APIs, and standard development practices.
- Partner effectively with CSIRT, Threat Intelligence, Red Team, and Security Engineering to contribute to cross-functional security outcomes.
- Convert investigation findings and risk into clear, actionable updates for technical peers, non-technical collaborators, and management.
