Threat Hunting Analyst

Here’s what you can expect:

• Competitive base
• Flexible work model: hybrid, remote, or in-office
• Real growth opportunities and leadership visibility
• Inclusive, respectful culture that blends U.S. innovation with Colombian heart
• A company that listens, invests in you, and celebrates wins together

We are seeking a Threat Hunter Analyst to join the security operations team of a large US consumer lender in the financial services sector, working on-site from AspenView's secure suite in Bogotá, Medellín or Buenos Aires. You'll design and run hypothesis-driven hunts across endpoint, identity, network, email and AWS telemetry in Elastic, reporting to the on-site Threat Hunting Lead and working closely with Detection Engineering so that every good hunt ends as a working detection. This is a hands-on role for someone who can take raw intelligence and turn it into a hunt without being told how, and who knows what living-off-the-land, credential abuse and lateral movement look like in real logs, not just someone who has triaged alerts from a queue.

What you will do:

Hunt Design & Threat Intelligence

• Build hunts from threat intelligence relevant to US consumer finance, recent incidents and known telemetry gaps
• Turn raw intelligence into testable hypotheses on your own
• Decide which data sources and timeframes will answer each hunt question
• Map attacker tradecraft to MITRE ATT&CK to shape and prioritize hunts

Hunt Execution & Investigation

• Run scheduled and ad hoc hunts across CrowdStrike, Defender, Okta, Palo Alto, Proofpoint and AWS data in Elastic
• Pivot quickly when an initial query surfaces something worth chasing
• Separate real findings from noise
• Escalate live attacker activity to Tier 3 and the Incident Response Lead with the evidence attached
• Run indicator and behaviour sweeps during major incidents to scope how far an attacker reached

Detection Engineering Partnership

• Hand candidate detections to Detection Engineering, written well enough to build from
• Identify logging gaps and document them for remediation
• Make sure your hunts end as production detection rules

Reporting & Knowledge Sharing

• Write clear, reproducible hunt reports covering what was tested, found, ruled out and couldn't be tested
• Walk the client's security team through findings directly, in English
• Document hunts so anyone on the team can rerun them

Tools & Technologies:

• Platforms & Infrastructure: Elastic Security (EQL, ES|QL), Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel (equivalent SIEMs), Palo Alto, Proofpoint
• Security & Threat Intelligence: CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, MITRE ATT&CK, MISP, OpenCTI, Recorded Future, FS-ISAC, malware triage and memory forensics
• Cloud & Data Analysis: AWS (control-plane and cloud telemetry), Okta (identity telemetry), Python, Jupyter

What you bring:

• Experience: 3+ years in threat hunting, Tier 3 investigation or incident response, with hunts you can walk through from hypothesis to outcome, including the ones that found nothing
• Technical Depth: Fluent querying across large data sets in Elastic, Splunk, Sentinel or equivalent, and a strong grasp of living-off-the-land, credential and session abuse, lateral movement and cloud control-plane abuse as they appear in logs
• Consulting / Leadership: Confidence presenting findings straight to a US client's security team, working well with Detection Engineering and IR, and interest in growing into a Threat Hunting Lead, IR Lead or Detection Engineering Lead role
• Mindset: Works independently, stays rigorous and curious, and knows that a hunt proving a control works is a good result
• Language: English at B2 or above
• Location & Schedule: On-site in Bogotá, Medellín or Buenos Aires during US Eastern business hours (no rotating shifts), with occasional call-ins during major incidents
• Security Clearance: Willing to undergo identity, criminal-background, employment and education checks, repeated periodically, and to work in a clean-desk, VDI-only environment
• Clearance: Must pass identity, criminal-background, employment and education checks, repeated periodically.
• Nice to have: Financial-sector threat experience (fraud-motivated intrusion, ransomware, BEC), detection-writing skills, and certifications such as GCTI, GDAT, GCIH, GCFA or eCTHP
