Threat Intelligence Engineer

About The Job

You know adversaries by how they operate — and you know how to turn that knowledge into action. As a Threat Intelligence Engineer — Intrusion Analysis & Detection, you will help transform threat actor behavior into concrete defensive value: stronger detections, smarter hunting hypotheses, and intelligence that helps defenders move faster and more effectively. Within the Allianz Cyber Defense Center (ACDC), you will join a team that is evolving toward an AI‑augmented, intelligence‑driven operating model. This is a high‑impact opportunity to shape and mature intrusion analysis capabilities, automate repetitive intelligence workflows, and directly influence how a global organization defends itself against real‑world threats.

What You Do

• Analyze real‑world attacks, post‑incident findings, and emerging adversary tradecraft to identify relevant threat activity and convert retrospective analysis into forward‑looking intelligence.
• Translate threat intelligence into actionable detection content by producing detection rules and analytical guidance for deployment by detection engineering teams across platform‑native environments.
• Track threat actors and map tactics, techniques, and procedures to MITRE ATT&CK, identifying coverage gaps and generating meaningful hunting leads based on relevance to the Allianz environment.
• Build and maintain automation for repetitive intelligence workflows using SOAR platforms, Power Automate, N8N, Python, scripting, and API integrations to improve speed, quality, and consistency.
• Apply AI in daily analytical workflows to categorize incoming intelligence, enrich indicators, correlate reporting with tracked topics, and accelerate decision‑making.
• Communicate findings clearly through dashboards, written intelligence notes, and operational briefings so that detection engineers, incident responders, IT administrators, and leadership can act confidently.
• Support the full IOC lifecycle and contribute during active security incidents by providing timely analytical input, validation, and triage support as part of on‑call rotations.

What You Bring

• Hands‑on experience in intrusion analysis, including the investigation of real‑world attack patterns, adversary behavior, and post‑incident evidence.
• Proven ability to turn intelligence into action through detection engineering, including authoring, tuning, or validating detection rules in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK, especially at procedure level, and a solid understanding of the telemetry required to detect adversary activity effectively.
• Practical coding and automation skills, ideally in Python, scripting, and API‑driven workflows, with a builder mindset focused on improving efficiency through automation.
• Good understanding of the Threat Intelligence Lifecycle and structured analytical techniques, including models such as the Diamond Model and Kill Chain.
• Experience working with or exposure to tools such as Google SecOps, CrowdStrike Falcon / Intelligence, Google Threat Intelligence / VirusTotal, Recorded Future, MISP, or similar platforms.
• A proactive, outcome‑driven mindset with the ability to stay composed under pressure, communicate clearly during incidents, and collaborate effectively across technical teams.

What We Offer

• Hybrid work model with up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• Performance‑based compensation and benefits, including a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program, and employee discounts (details vary by location).
• Lifelong learning and international career mobility through career development and digital learning programs.
• Flexible working, healthcare, parental leave benefits, and support to balance family and career while returning from career breaks.
