Lead or support incident response and digital forensics for high-severity security events; perform root cause analyses and drive corrective actions to closure.

Utilize and optimize security tools (e.g., SIEM, EDR/XDR, firewalls, vulnerability scanners) to monitor, detect, and remediate threats across classified and associated unclassified environments.

Collaborate with technical and business stakeholders to translate mission/business requirements into a security roadmap, and communicate complex cyber risks to non-technical leadership.

Expert-level knowledge of security tooling, including SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel), EDR/XDR, firewalls, and vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Qualys), plus experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines using SAST/DAST.

Desired Skills

Experience in Cross-Domain Solutions (CDS), air-gapped networks, and highly classified defense environments; prior work with legacy-to-cloud or hybrid-cloud security transitions.

Proven security leadership experience as a Lead, Architect, or ISSE responsible for the security roadmap of a product line, program, or business unit.

Proficiency in Python, Go, or PowerShell for security automation (SOAR) and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible); familiarity with PKI, HSMs, and emerging quantum-resistant encryption.

Experience with red teaming/adversarial simulation and application of ML/AI techniques for anomaly detection and threat hunting, plus a history of security community contributions (white papers, conferences, open-source).
