What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience in intrusion analysis, including the investigation of real-world attack patterns, adversary behavior, and post-incident evidence.
  • Proven ability to turn intelligence into action through detection engineering, including authoring, tuning, or validating detection rules in production environments.
  • Strong knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK, especially at procedure level, and a solid understanding of the telemetry required to detect adversary activity effectively.
  • Practical coding and automation skills, ideally in Python, scripting, and API-driven workflows, with a builder mindset focused on improving efficiency through automation.
  • Good understanding of the Threat Intelligence Lifecycle and structured analytical techniques, including models such as the Diamond Model and Kill Chain.
  • Experience working with or exposure to tools such as Google SecOps, CrowdStrike Falcon / Intelligence, Google Threat Intelligence / VirusTotal, Recorded Future, MISP, or similar platforms.

Pay & benefits

  • We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
  • We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).

  • Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.

The role

You know adversaries by how they operate - and you know how to turn that knowledge into action. As a Threat Intelligence Engineer - Intrusion Analysis & Detection, you will help transform threat actor behavior into concrete defensive value: stronger detections, smarter hunting hypotheses, and intelligence that helps defenders move faster and more effectively.

Within the Allianz Cyber Defense Center (ACDC), you will join a team that is evolving towards an AI-augmented, intelligence-driven operating model. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape and mature intrusion analysis capabilities, automate repetitive intelligence workflows, and directly influence how a global organization defends itself against real-world threats. If you enjoy combining technical depth, analytical thinking, and practical execution, this role will give you the platform to make a visible difference at scale.

What you'll do

  • Analyze real-world attacks, post-incident findings, and emerging adversary tradecraft to identify relevant threat activity and convert retrospective analysis into forward-looking intelligence.
  • Translate threat intelligence into actionable detection content by producing detection rules and analytical guidance for deployment by detection engineering teams across platform-native environments.
  • Track threat actors and map tactics, techniques, and procedures to MITRE ATT&CK, identifying coverage gaps and generating meaningful hunting leads based on relevance to the Allianz environment.
  • Build and maintain automation for repetitive intelligence workflows using SOAR platforms, Power Automate, N8N, Python, scripting, and API integrations to improve speed, quality, and consistency.
  • Apply AI in daily analytical workflows to categorize incoming intelligence, enrich indicators, correlate reporting with tracked topics, and accelerate decision-making.
  • Communicate findings clearly through dashboards, written intelligence notes, and operational briefings so that detection engineers, incident responders, IT administrators, and leadership can act confidently.
  • Support the full IOC lifecycle and contribute during active security incidents by providing timely analytical input, validation, and triage support as part of on-call rotations.
