Job description

Cryptologic Computer Scientist – Themis Insight, LLC

Themis Insight solves difficult business, IT, and analytic problems by addressing the whole problem – not just the symptoms – using interdisciplinary approaches that are both practical and innovative. We provide fresh alternatives to ordinary, mainstream consulting firms through small, highly skilled, hand‑picked teams that can meet clients' needs in any industry. Our broad interdisciplinary understanding allows us to provide the right solution, even if it is from outside the industry or traditionally defined problem space.

We are hiring a Cryptologic Computer Scientist to work in Fort Meade, MD. Position location is subject to change based on central MD client’s needs.

Desired security clearance: TS/SCI with a Polygraph

Responsibilities:

Design, develop and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. The solutions may arise in the forms of forensics and attack attribution, protection of critical networks, active systems warnings and indicators, active penetration into target systems, knowledge of discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. Requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures) are applied to each problem to provide state‑of‑the‑art techniques, tools, and approaches.

Individual Capabilities/Experience Required

• Level 2 – Bachelor’s degree plus 5 years of relevant experience or a Master’s degree plus 3 years of relevant experience or a Doctoral degree and 2 years of relevant experience.
