Top Secret Cyber Capability Developer
As a Cyber Capability Developer, you will research, develop, and execute specialized operational and analytic capabilities to support technical operations in solving unique challenges posed by criminal and national security actors. You will build advanced tools and capabilities for tactical teams performing incident response and computer network operations and exploitation (CNO/CNE). This role requires expertise in both offensive and defensive cyber security tools, network topologies, and secured networks to deliver innovative solutions for mission-critical operations. Key Responsibilities: Build and test operational prototypes for tactical teams responding to sophisticated cyber threats Conduct analysis of case and intelligence related cyber data to develop advanced analytical tools Configure and manage complex routing and switching fabrics with significant segmentation, including managed attribution of individual network paths Set up and maintain firewall, VPN, proxy, and tunnel configurations for secure operations Implement and manage data ingest pipelines through network diodes for secure data transfer Administer high availability virtualized environments with complex networking configurations Develop and maintain misattributable environments for specialized operations Perform research of novel capabilities derived from technical analysis Research emerging technologies, exploitation techniques, and custom tools Perform reverse engineering of cyber actor tools and techniques to advance defenses Conduct vulnerability research against host endpoints and service targets Implement secure development practices for sensitive operational tools Create and manage CI/CD pipelines and git version control systems for rapid deployment Support systems integration for operations Required Qualifications: Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and ability to obtain a Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph. US Citizenship is required. Experience with SAFe Agile framework Solid understanding of forensic and investigative data requirements Demonstrated experience designing and implementing software solutions in secure government environments Mid-Level Bachelor's degree or master's degree with 5 years of experience OR Associate degree with 8 years of experience OR High School/Diploma with 11 years of experience Minimum of 5 years of experience in software development Software engineering using modern programming practices (Python, C, .NET) Network design and analysis, including managed attribution networks Basic malware analysis techniques and digital forensics Network protocol analysis and command and control channels Configuring and managing networking environments Linux and Windows operating system administration Basic reverse engineering concepts and vulnerability assessment techniques Version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines Containerization (Docker, LXC) and virtualization environments (VMware, Proxmox, KVM/QEMU) Implant delivery and initial access vectors Detection avoidance techniques RESTful API development and administration Risk assessment methodologies for exploit components Senior-Level Bachelor's degree or master's degree with 8 years of experience or Associate degree with 11 years of experience Minimum of 8 years of experience in software development Advanced programming in multiple languages with focus on rapid software prototyping Complex malware analysis, digital forensics, and software reverse engineering Exploit development and sophisticated vulnerability research Advanced network analysis and protocol manipulation for attribution management Tool development for specialized cyber operations and cyber effects Custom data processing and analytics pipelines through secure channels Secure coding practices for operational tools in classified environments Cloud platforms implementation (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, SC2S, C2S, GCP) DevSecOps practices for rapid deployment in secure environments Advanced endpoint detection and response application development Automated provisioning of hosts and firewall/network appliances (Terraform, OpenStack, Ansible) Management of high-security virtualized environments Development of sophisticated detection avoidance techniques Desired Qualifications: Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field Additional Technical Experience: Experience with: Mixed vendor/platform environments, including COTS, GOTS, and custom developed tools Digital forensics tools and techniques for complex investigations Memory analysis and disk forensics in adversarial environments Threat intelligence platforms and integration Encryption and obfuscation techniques for secure communications Incident response methodologies in high-stakes environments Participation in capture the flag exercises, bug bounty programs, and security conferences Advanced application of risk assessment methodologies Compensation: $117,800 - $184,100 Compensation: $142,600 - $222,850
