Senior Intelligence Analyst (Capabilities Developer)

The Red Canary Intelligence Team conducts in-depth analysis to provide context and help prioritize where to focus detection and response efforts. As a key contributor, you will investigate raw telemetry, analyze suspicious and confirmed threats, and conduct open-source research to associate activity with known adversaries. A significant focus is on modeling and analyzing in the Synapse graph database. Curiosity, adaptability, and a passion for addressing evolving threats will be vital for success in this dynamic, mission-driven team.

Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Intelligence Analyst to join our Intelligence team. This is a remote role, reporting to the Senior Manager, Intelligence. You will utilize Synapse and Storm Query Language to drive data modeling and analytic workflows, identifying patterns that protect our customers. By investigating telemetry and conducting deep-dive research, you’ll deliver actionable intelligence that communicates TTPs and detection strategies while validating our coverage against an ever-evolving threat landscape.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Utilize Synapse and Storm Query Language for data modeling and analytic workflows while contributing to automation and tool building

• Investigate telemetry to identify new activity clusters based on malicious and suspicious behaviors observed across the customer base

• Conduct open and closed source research to analyze threat patterns and author actionable intelligence products regarding TTPs and remediation strategies

• Actively engage with internal teams, external partners, and the infosec community to share knowledge and enhance global collaboration

• Validate endpoint, cloud, and identity detection coverage against emerging threats and recommend solutions for visibility gaps in telemetry

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.

• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.

• You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
