Our Information and Cyber Security (ICS) team is looking for a senior cyber security engineer to join our Security Content Development (SCD) team.  Duties include creating, improving, and delivering events of interest from both upstream security tools and big data solutions for the benefit of the cyber security teams. 

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in network-focused forensics, incident response, and threat hunting utilizing both Deep Packet Inspection (i.e. full packet capture) and NetFlow solutions.  The ideal candidate will additionally have a well-rounded background in endpoint/network defenses and security incident response, as well as some offensive security knowledge to allow the ability to think like an adversary.  Polished verbal and written communication skills are desired, in order to ensure thorough and accurate reporting during and concluding a security incident.

The candidate will play a major role in our cyber threat hunt automation efforts, including the vetting of new models and procedures to identify and react to anomalous network and/or endpoint behaviors.  Threat hunting efforts will be focused primarily on identifying advanced threats that are not detected via traditional security tools.  Regular collaboration with multiple teams such as the Cyber Threat Fusion Center, Security Content Development, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Threat Detection Services, and the Offensive Security Research Team will be critical to success. This position will help to provide crucial metrics associated with our ability to discover and react to security threats.
