Daily Responsibilities:

Project Name: Agentic Threat Hunting

We are the Agentic Engineering team within Advanced Threat Operations in Global Security. Our current objective is to build reliable AI agents capable of automatically handing some of the Threat Hunting workload currently performed by human Threat Hunters. The agent(s) are required to navigate, review and interpret a large amount of security event data just like a human would today. We must also create reusable patterns for agentic development that will be applied to other current and future investigation agents within Global Security.

Review workload in Jira and commit to daily goals Develop and deploy thoroughly tested features Work with subject matter experts to understand problems that need solving and work together to propose well designed solutions Stay up to date on recent Agentic AI trends and frameworks, and discuss them with the team to influence direction. Debug, test, and fix issues identified in agents. Research and propose changes to our processes to prevent such issues from recurring Engage with the wider Agentic AI community to understand enterprise direction and best practices.

What program/technology/software knowledge is essential for this role? Python (or equivalent modern language), Existing agents are already built in Python and they will be working to enhance or refactor them. Langfuse. We use this for observability and evaluations. OpenShift / Kubernetes. This is our deployment environment. GitHub Actions. This is our CI/CD pipeline MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis. These are our backend databases Claude Code (or equivalent coding agent). The candidate is expected to already have a lot of experience using Claude Code or equivalents. We use it extensively on a daily basis.

Must-have Skills: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Engineering Strong Python (or equivalent modern language) engineering skills. Deep understanding of language performance and internals (eg. GIL, concurrency tradeoffs, memory constraints). These agents need to process a large volume of data. They also need to conclude their investigation in a reasonable amount of time. Proven experience building production-grade AI agents. The candidate must have deployed working AI agents to production with proven results. Just having done demos or side projects is not sufficient. They must have experience not just building but also evaluating agents for correctness. Thorough understanding of LLMs and agentic systems. Strong context engineering skills. Not just prompt engineering. The candidate must already know how to curate, compress, and structure large data sets for effective LLM use.

Nice-to-have Skills: Experience with cybersecurity tools (CrowdStrike, Splunk, Mandiant, etc.) Familiarity with multiple agent frameworks (Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, AutoGen, custom systems, etc.) Experience evaluating tradeoffs between agentic frameworks vs. custom orchestration.

Soft skills: Collaborates well in a group. Able to communicate ideas and discuss ideas from others without being confrontational. Excellent communicator. Speaks clearly in a group. Able to use visuals effectively to communicate ideas High level of curiosity. Asks questions to better their own understanding. Constantly looking to learn and improve. Attention to detail. Spends extra time to gain a better low-level understanding of how systems work. Always looking for a better way to do things.
