Responsibilities
Leading a team of threat researchers requires solid people managing skills for helping grow the team and supporting them in being successful in the organization
The team’s manager must have a solid understanding of the technical requirements of the positions reporting to them in order to provide proper guidance and help grow the team’s technical skills
While the primary focus is team leadership and mentorship, the role requires periodic hands-on technical contribution during critical phases, proof-of-concept development, and when mentoring team members through complex analysis challenges
Solid interpersonal skills are a must, along with a strong sense of empathy, to help guide employees through understanding where they are in their career and technical path
A proven background in advanced reverse engineering on file-based threats is required
A good working knowledge of malware based automation workflows and techniques is required
Demonstrated experience building scalable automation pipelines for malware analysis, including integration with sandbox environments, YARA rule generation, and threat intelligence platforms
The Threat Research team is supported by an engineering team, but proof of concept automation is produced by researchers
Showing competence handing off research to engineering to produce results is required
