About the Role

We’re hiring a Staff Security Engineer, Threat Intelligence to build and scale Nscale’s threat intelligence capability and turn adversary insight into actionable security outcomes.

This is a high-impact, engineering-driven role focused on connecting external threat intelligence with internal telemetry so that what Nscale knows about attackers directly improves how the company detects and responds. The role works closely with Detection & Response and supports security efforts across infrastructure, cloud, and enterprise systems.

You’ll help strengthen Nscale’s security posture by tracking relevant threat actors, campaigns, and emerging techniques, then translating that intelligence into practical detections, defenses, and response improvements. This role matters because it ensures intelligence is not just collected, but operationalized in the systems and workflows that protect the business.

This role will be part of the global Cyber Defense organization.

Threat Intelligence Analysis

  • Track relevant threat actors, campaigns, and emerging attack techniques tied to Nscale’s environment
  • Analyze adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures to identify meaningful security implications
  • Produce actionable threat intelligence tailored to infrastructure, cloud, and enterprise systems
  • Evaluate external intelligence sources, feeds, and tooling for relevance and quality

Detection Engineering & Coverage

  • Translate intelligence into detection logic, SIEM rules, and security controls
  • Partner with Detection & Response to improve coverage against known adversary behaviors
  • Maintain mappings to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and identify coverage gaps
