Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer
About the role
Overview of the role
We're looking for a seasoned Threat Intelligence Engineer to join us as a dedicated Senior Security Engineer, TI. You'll be joining a program established a couple of years ago, with a solid foundation already in place: reporting templates, tooling, feeds, and industry connections built out by the Security Operations team over that time.
Your mission will be to provide actionable intelligence that empowers GitLab to make informed, proactive decisions about security. We want to get in front of threats before they materialize - using intelligence to see around corners and anticipate the next attack.
We'll rely on your strong hands-on technical skills to monitor our unique threat landscape, focusing on credible threats to GitLab and the software supply chain. You'll leverage your Python expertise as a force multiplier, expanding our capabilities through automation and AI and maintaining our Threat Intelligence Platform. Additionally, you'll build meaningful relationships with industry peers, sharing intelligence and contributing to the industry as a whole.
As the sole dedicated member of this team, you'll help us refine our processes and iterate towards a more mature threat intelligence program. We've laid the groundwork with reporting templates, metrics for success, tooling, feeds, and industry connections. Now we need you to put this framework into action - uncovering real-world attacks, making attributions, and building a thriving intel-sharing community.
You'll be supported by Security Operations engineers who dedicate a portion of their time to threat intelligence. We'll encourage you to collaborate across security, infrastructure, and product teams to help keep our customers, platform, and organization secure.
If you're excited about shaping the future of threat intelligence at GitLab, we want to hear from you!
What you’ll do
- Monitor the threat landscape, identifying and analyzing the risks most relevant to GitLab and raising awareness through ad-hoc Flash Reports.
- Administer our Threat Intelligence Platform and continue building out our open source, proprietary and internal intelligence collection pipeline.
- Support incident response through malware analysis and threat actor tracking helping us stay one step ahead of our top threats.
- Collaborate on Purple Team Flash Operations, where emerging threats are turned into collaborative exercises.
