The Challenge:

You are a digital forensic examiner that figures out when a nefarious actor breached a system and what tools, tactics, and procedures they used. You understand the ever-evolving environment of cybersecurity and how new malware will affect different systems. You have a keen desire to learn and adapt to dynamic changes. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and puzzle solving are among the many facets you possess. As a skilled forensic investigator, you can trace the trail of an intruder and know where and when artifacts are left on the system. Now imagine yourself in a place where you are no longer constrained by the "push-button" and "wipe-and-remediate" culture of incident response. A place where you will be afforded the time, resources, and toolsets to dive deep and explore the most advanced malware exemplars you have ever seen. A place where your technical skill is highly regarded, and you are readily given the education and training resources to expand your knowledge exponentially. Most importantly, it is a place where real impact is seen and many more untold accomplishments are made quietly in the shadows.

As a digital forensic examiner in our firm, you will no longer have to imagine a place like this, because it will become your reality. We have an immediate opportunity for a digital forensics and malware analyst like you. You will be conducting examinations and analysis of emerging threats and previously unknown malicious exploits. You will have access to industry leading tools and optimized technical environments. All while working alongside colleagues and clients united in their efforts to ensure our nation's security. Are you ready to make a difference and accelerate your technical development?
