Security Engineer
Cybersecurity Researcher focused on hunting adversaries, dissecting malware campaigns, and building behavioral detection logic across endpoints and cloud workloads. Utilizes reverse engineering, threat hunting, and incident response to protect millions of systems with advanced detection techniques.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Research adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and translate them into detection and prevention capabilities for Acronis Security and EDR products.
Analyze malicious and benign content — executables, scripts, documents, memory dumps, network traffic, exploit chains — to identify indicators and behavioral patterns.
Develop, tune, and maintain detection logic, signatures, and behavioral rules across multiple expression languages and rule formats.
Monitor and improve automated detection pipelines to maintain high efficacy and low false-positive rates.
Track emerging threats through open-source intelligence, telemetry analysis, and threat feeds to ensure coverage keeps pace with the landscape.
Collaborate with scan engine and product engineering teams on joint research projects and new security features.
Publish original research through blog posts, whitepapers, and conference presentations.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Deep understanding of modern attack techniques, common malware families, OS internals (Windows required; macOS and Linux are a plus), and network protocols.
5+ years of hands-on experience in one or more of: malware analysis (static, dynamic, behavioral), detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, or insider threat investigation.
Proven ability to develop detection logic — whether that's YARA, Sigma, EQL, KQL, custom behavioral signatures, or something else entirely.
Comfortable working with threat intelligence platforms and frameworks: VirusTotal, Shodan, MISP, MITRE ATT&CK, or similar.
Software development skills in Python; familiarity with REST APIs, SQL, and regex. C/C++ is a plus.
