One part Student, One part Hunter

Hunt & Hackett helps European companies prevent, detect and respond to today’s most advanced adversaries, safeguarding them against cyberthreats and espionage. We don’t stir a bit into security strategies; our talented team of responsible rebels shakes them up to build, operate and maintain digital immune systems for our customers to outsmart their digital adversaries.

To extend our multidisciplinary team we are now hiring a part-time student for our SOC team. Do you get a thrill out of outsmarting digital adversaries, as you would in a 'capture the flag' event? Do you belong to the most talented group of brainiacs in the industry – or is this where you plan to be? Then Hunt & Hackett might be the best next step in your career.

SOC Analyst at Hunt & Hackett  

At Hunt & Hackett we are always looking for new talent and preferably we hire them as early on as possible. Here, you are encouraged to do the things you do in your study, or whatever tech savvy endeavour you might embark on in your spare time, but this time, for a salary. Do you possess, or aspire to develop, a very specific set of skills that would make you a nightmare for APT’s? 

We are not looking for someone who maintains an alert factory, but someone who seeks a challenge in bringing down the number of alerts to only high priority alerts, while not losing sight of the actual adversary in the customers' network. Next to that, you know how to code in Python and automate the SOC processes as much as possible.

In the end your eye for detail needs to be better than that of the threat actor, as you have to be able to outsmart a wide variety of adversaries. Last but not least, you understand that the job is not done after you have mapped out the treats. You are capable of translating the findings into well written incident reports for the right audience. 

Working 9 to 5

Do we need to tell you that threat actors don’t work from 9 to 5? If yes, don’t apply. At Hunt & Hackett we provide a 24/7 service from our Cyber Defense Center, in which we monitor infrastructure for our customers. This means we are on high-alert for our customers if their IT environment is (about to be) compromised. This requires you to be on-call during shifts (during the day, or evening/night, as well as weekends and public holidays). This is done on a rotating basis with the rest of the analyst team.

The Hunt & Hackett wish list. The right candidate:

• Speaks at least two languages: English and Python (or any other …); 
• Has a drive to automate things instead of doing repetitive manual work; 
• Is focused on building sustainable solutions, being it something technical like a scrip/program, or less technical like a report; 
• Has experience with running/building things in cloud infrastructures (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc) 
• Has experience in cybersecurity;
• Is versatile and willing to go the extra mile
• Has an entrepreneurial mindset, but can also work in a team

A culture of ‘responsible rebellion’ 

Only (very) talented, multidisciplinary teams of threat hunters, intelligence analysts, reverse engineers, data scientists, developers and hackers are able to outsmart the increasingly professional community of cyber attackers. We pride ourselves as a force for the good and as such we think and act as responsible rebels. We are not ‘just another security company’, and our people are not ‘just employees’. Everyone at Hunt & Hackett wants to be the best in their field and focusses at delivering next-gen levels of service. This means that we:  

• Push the envelope. Everyone in our teams takes the responsibility to make our work better every day, by being creative to color outside of the lines if needed.​ 
• Help you to become the best version of yourself. We bring together the best minds in the field, to inspire each other and to learn from each other. Personal development and growth are important to us and our customers.   
• Build mission driven teams. We believe in the power of small teams who can focus on strategic tasks, not on repetitive work that can be automated. It’s up to you to make this happen. 
• Believe that God is in the details​. Tiny details can have a huge impact, especially in security. This is why we champion tradecraft. We are system thinkers that oversee the big picture but who are simultaneously obsessive about the details.
• Are Responsible Rebels. We are polite. We are courteous. We show professionalism. Yet we have a plan to kill everyone in the room.
