Network Engineer/Delivery Consultant

The most dangerous person is the one who listens, thinks and observes.

MDR Onboarding as a Network Engineer/Delivery Consultant at Hunt & Hackett

Do you know this ecstatic emotion when unboxing your latest cool gadget, or the experience of a seamless process from ordering to actually being able to use something in time? That is what we like to achieve for our new managed detection and response (MDR) service customers. They have just signed up for our service and it is your responsibility to onboard them and convey the ecstatic feeling that their security posture is about to change. You are responsible technically for this process from beginning to the end.

We are looking for an experienced Network Engineer/Delivery Consultant who can onboard new clients to our MDR service. Internally we use the title MDR Onboarding Engineer. As an MDR Onboarding Engineer you are the bridge between the technology and the customer and are actively working in making those customers more secure. You help them - in a secure fashion - to get their logs out of their infrastructure, to implement network sensors and support the customer in rolling out EDR. Once you are done, you validate whether we receive the right data so that the SOC can deploy our detection logic and start detecting bad stuff. And if data comes in blobby, you either improve the parser, or you write one yourself. The work you do can be a bit unstructured occasionally, and although we try to standardize things, there will always be new things and new situations. Therefore, we require you to be inquisitive and not shy away from unknowns.

Microsoft 365, endpoint management, EDR, SIEM, IDS, firewalls, proxies, load balancers, DNS/DHCP servers are common terms for you and working with them gives you warm and fuzzy feelings. Furthermore, you have experience with networking, working with Unix operating systems, but you also have experience with scripting and Git. Although you like to spend a fair share of time working with technologies, the thing that gets you up in the morning as well, is automating processes, since you hate doing stuff manually. We don’t expect you to be a full DevOps engineer, but you know your way around in Python when things need to get automated. Lastly, in the time you are not helping customers, you might want to chip in during incident response cases, in the SOC, or help out the SRE/DevOps team by further developing the platform as code.

A culture of ‘responsible rebellion’

Only (very) talented, multidisciplinary teams of threat hunters, intelligence analysts, reverse engineers, data scientists, developers and hackers are able to outsmart the increasingly professional community of cyber attackers. We pride ourselves as a force for the good and as such we think and act as responsible rebels. We are not ‘just another security company’, and our people are not ‘just employees’. Everyone at Hunt & Hackett wants to be the best in their field and focuses at delivering next-gen levels of service. 

This means that we live by:

• • Security first: a foundational core value that underscores our company's unwavering commitment to prioritizing security in all aspects of our operations.
  • Pushing the envelope: Everyone at our teams takes the responsibility to make our work better every day, by being creative to color outside of the lines if needed.​
  • Everything is important: Tiny details have a huge impact, especially in security. We are system thinkers that oversee the big picture and who are simultaneously obsessive about details. That’s why we champion tradecraft.
  • Perseverance: To become successful, you will have to endure challenges, errors, failures and obstacles along the way. These may take weeks, months, or years to overcome.
  • Ego is the enemy: Ego ultimately prevents us from learning, holds us back and makes us overreach. It is therefore important to battle that inner force that destroys great empire's, companies, careers and tears apart relationships. 

Better safe than sorry. We like to be certain when we’re adding new colleagues to our team. Therefore we use a stringent application process that includes three personal conversations and an assignment. Do note that a pre-employment screening is part of the application and selection process and precedes employment.

We like to do our own matchmaking. Recruitment agencies, please don't call us. We'll call you (actually, we probably won't).
