The Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated and analytical Threat Intelligence Researcher to join our Global Threat Intelligence Team. The researcher will focus on tracking global threat activity, including ransomware operations, cybercrime ecosystems, etc., through a combination of infrastructure analysis, IAV (Initial Access Vector) mapping, and cyber HUMINT source development. The role requires a strong grasp of MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE Engage, the Diamond Model, and the Cyber Kill Chain, applied in operational and strategic research contexts.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct ransomware IAV (Initial Access Vector) mapping to understand infiltration patterns, affiliate ecosystems, and monetisation structures.
Perform e-crime and underground forum research to identify, profile, and map threat actors (TAs), their infrastructure, tools, and tradecraft.
Execute infrastructure hunting campaigns focusing on APT and e-crime C2 frameworks, leveraging passive DNS, TLS certificates, and web fingerprinting techniques.
Develop and maintain cyber HUMINT sources, focusing on early warning, infiltration, and intelligence collection aligned with organisational goals.
Correlate and analyse global threat campaigns across ransomware, APT, and access broker ecosystems to identify shared TTPs and infrastructure linkages.
Apply analytical models such as MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE Engage, Diamond Model, and Cyber Kill Chain to develop structured threat intelligence outputs.
Produce tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence reports with actionable recommendations for global stakeholders.
Contribute to tooling, automation, and methodology development for IAV mapping, C2 identification, and infrastructure clustering.

Required Skills & Experience:

3+ years of experience in threat intelligence, malware analysis, threat hunting, or digital investigations.
Proven experience in tracking ransomware groups, access brokers, or APT campaigns through open-source, dark web, and technical telemetry.
Deep understanding of MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE Engage, Diamond Model, and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks.
Familiarity with C2 frameworks (e.g., Cobalt Strike, Mythic, Sliver, Quasar, etc.) and infrastructure hunting methodologies.
Practical experience with IAV analysis, including exploitation of vulnerabilities, phishing, and social engineering vectors.
Strong OSINT and technical investigation skills (Shodan, Censys, FOFA, Netlas, VirusTotal, Hybrid Analysis,etc.).
Demonstrable contributions to the cybersecurity community (e.g., blogs, research, GitHub, conference talks, or technical content) is a must.
Ability to synthesise complex datasets into coherent, high-quality intelligence products.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

Background in incident response, reverse engineering, or network analysis.
Experience with Python or automation scripting for data enrichment and infrastructure correlation.
Prior contributions to threat research publications, advisories, or CTI community initiatives.
