Job Description

Premera Blue Cross is hiring a Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Engineer II, Att&ck, for the Threat Intelligence and Response (TI&R) team in a hybrid setup in Mountlake Terrace, WA. In this role, you will use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to plan and run authorized adversary emulation and security testing, evaluate control performance via telemetry, and support repeatable, risk-based validation of defensive improvements.

Responsibilities

Plan and execute authorized adversary emulation, security testing, and technical assessments mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to evaluate defensive controls and identify detection and visibility gaps.
Research emerging adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including those linked to nation-state actors and cybercriminal organizations, and convert threat intelligence into practical, risk-based testing scenarios.
Reproduce adversary techniques within approved testing environments and established rules of engagement, ensuring work complies with operational safety, privacy, and security requirements.
Collect, analyze, and document technical evidence and security telemetry generated during testing to determine whether expected defensive controls detected, prevented, or appropriately responded to simulated attacker activity.
Collaborate with TI&R Threat Intelligence and Incident Response teams to assess findings, recommend defensive improvements, and perform follow-up testing to validate remediation effectiveness.
Develop, maintain, and improve scripts, automation, and repeatable testing procedures to streamline adversary emulation, telemetry collection, security validation, and technical analysis.
Analyze testing outcomes to identify trends in detection coverage, control effectiveness, and defensive visibility to support continuous improvement across Premera’s security capabilities.
Support incident response investigations and other assigned technical assessments by providing expertise in adversary behavior, attack techniques, security telemetry, and detection capabilities.
Contribute to security assessments tied to significant changes to systems, applications, and networks by applying relevant threat intelligence, vulnerability assessment, and security control validation concepts.
Document testing methodologies, findings, limitations, and recommendations, and communicate results through written reports, technical discussions, and briefings for both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Apply applicable security, privacy, regulatory, and organizational requirements when planning and performing assigned technical activities.
Organize and prioritize assigned work aligned with team objectives, established procedures, and Purple Team initiatives, demonstrating sound judgment, initiative, and appropriate technical independence.
Share technical knowledge, lessons learned, and testing insights across the TI&R department to strengthen collective defensive capabilities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems or Business Administration or four (4) years’ experience.
Three (3) years’ experience designing, implementing, and troubleshooting networked computer systems, including systems integration, hardware requirements and network design planning, and vendor negotiations for hardware and software.
Two (2) years’ experience with secure network and systems architecture, design and implementation, including intrusion detection, defense and incident response, security configuration management, access controls design and implementation, and security policy.

Preferred Qualifications

Industry-recognized offensive cybersecurity or adversary emulation certifications such as OffSec OSCP, Zero-Point Security CRTO, GIAC GPEN, GXPN, or eLearnSecurity eJPT/eCPPT.
Hands-on proficiency with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, including mapping adversary TTPs to internal security controls, logging sources, and detection capabilities.
Experience with adversary emulation, breach and attack simulation (BAS), Purple Team exercises, or structured security control validation methodologies.
Practical scripting and automation experience using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar languages.
Experience developing repeatable security testing scenarios, analyzing results, and conducting follow-up validation of defensive improvements.
Hands-on experience with security technologies across endpoint detection and response (EDR), network security monitoring, SIEM, identity, and cloud environments.
Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, authentication technologies, networking protocols, and common attacker behaviors.
Familiarity with threat intelligence analysis, threat hunting methodologies, and translating intelligence into actionable defensive testing scenarios.
Familiarity with security control frameworks and regulatory requirements applicable to healthcare environments, including HITRUST, where relevant.
