Microsoft Senior Threat Graph Researcher 

Taiwan, Taoyuan City 

455301340

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and analyzing large-scale threat graphs that model adversary behavior, infrastructure, and relationships across the cyber threat landscape. You will collaborate closely with researchers, analysts, and detection engineers at the intersection of graph theory, threat protection, and machine learning, helping to uncover hidden patterns, identify emerging threats, and drive proactive defense strategies to drive research on emerging cloud threats that impact both Microsoft and third-party products.

• Translate complex raw security data into actionable graph intelligence that enhances the effectiveness of security operations for a global customer base.
• Research and prototype novel graph-based techniques for threat detection, attribution, and prioritization in collaboration with internal and external security teams.
• Lead and execute advanced research to develop algorithms and heuristics to detect malicious patterns and relationships within graph data on emerging cloud-based threats impacting Microsoft and third-party security products across heterogeneous cloud environments.
• Preferred Qualification - MS in cybersecurity

• Design and maintain scalable threat graphs that model entities such as devices, identity, threat actors, TTPs, infrastructure, and campaigns.
• Lead and execute advanced research to develop algorithms and heuristics to detect malicious patterns and relationships within graph data on emerging cloud-based threats impacting Microsoft and third-party security productsa across heterogeneous cloud environments.
• Collaborate with threat protection researchers, data scientists, and detection engineers to enrich graph models with contextual insights and refine detection and response strategies, to provide comprehensive threat coverage and response capabilities.
• Research and prototype novel graph-based techniques for threat detection, attribution, and prioritization in collaboration with internal and external security teams.
• Translate complex raw security data into actionable graph intelligence that enhances the effectiveness of security operations for a global customer base.
• Mentor, guide, and drive best practices among researchers and detection engineers on advanced graph-based threat hunting and incident response across diverse ecosystems.
• Contribute to industry knowledge and Microsoft’s security posture by publishing research, developing threat graph models, and proactively identifying threats and attack trends in the cloud.
