This position requires deep expertise in network protocols, traffic analysis, and defensive architecture to proactively shield critical mission networks from advanced persistent threats, passing validated mitigation designs to administrative teams for implementation.
  • Engineer Telemetry Systems: Design, develop, and integrate advanced network telemetry detection mechanisms (e.g., deep packet inspection, NetFlow analysis, and sensors) to ensure comprehensive visibility across the enterprise network boundary and internal segments.
  • Network Traffic Analysis: Serve as the primary technical authority for identifying, analyzing, and characterizing complex network-based cyber events, anomalous traffic patterns, and Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) behaviors within the environment.
  • Countermeasures: Develop and test network-based countermeasures and active defense strategies designed to detect, disrupt, or neutralize adversary network operations before they impact mission-critical systems.
  • Design Mitigations: Assist in advising enterprise security design.
  • Threat Intelligence Integration: Automate the ingestion threat intelligence into network sensor grids to build proactive, high-fidelity detection pipelines.
  • Strategic Capability Planning: Continuously evaluate emerging network defense technologies, conducting proof-of-concept testing to transition new detection capabilities into the enterprise production architecture.

  • Deep Packet & Protocol Analysis: Mastery of network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, TLS/SSL, SMB) and advanced packet analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark, Tshark) to dissect malicious payloads and identify evasive command-and-control (C2) traffic.
  • Automation & Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages (such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash) to automate the processing of network logs, parse large datasets, and integrate threat intelligence feeds.
  • Threat Hunting & Emulation: Ability to think like an adversary to proactively hunt for hidden threats within network metadata and reconstruct complex multi-stage attack paths.
  • Detection Engineering: Direct experience writing, testing, and deploying custom high-fidelity detection signatures using industry-standard formats (such as Snort, Suricata, Yara, Sigma, or Zeek scripts).
