Your Place in Our Team

What you’ll be doing

• Analyze, assess, and reverse engineer software and hardware systems for vulnerabilities
• Develop tools, processes, and systems to automate malware discovery
• Identify Indicators of Compromise (IOC)s through: forensic analysis of digital information, Open-Source Intel (OSINT) review and monitoring, available cybersecurity tools, and research on previously reported IOCs
• Assist in the development of IOCs for active defensive countermeasures and passive detection signatures
• Participate in collaborative sessions with other CNDSPs and IC agencies on malicious intrusions, attacks, or suspicious activities, as well as share emerging Cyber Threat Intel data; you will occasionally be required to present your findings in front of senior executives, so the ability to translate technical indicators into layperson’s terms is vital

• Secondary Certification (CEH, CySA , Cloud , CND)
• TS/SCI with CI Poly, or willingness and ability to be cleared
• High School 12 years; Bachelor’s 8; Master’s 6
• Demonstrated ability to reverse engineer malware, and familiarity with today’s tools and operational needs
• Experience monitoring emerging threats through Tools, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and how they relate to the MITRE ATT&CK framework
• Experience with specialized forensic systems and tools, including dissemblers, debuggers, hex editors, unpackers, virtual machines, and network traffic analysis
• Engaging communications style with customers, peers, and support teams
• Good written communications skills are necessary in order to properly document and report the identification and sharing of newly identified IOCs

Strengths you’ll bring to our team

• Passion for learning and professional growth
• Eagerness to help customers, peers, and juniors
• Taking ownership to do the right things right
