Job description

GRVTY is seeking an experienced Cryptologic Computer Scientist to design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. You will create solutions derived from forensics and attack attribution, facilitate protection of critical networks and active systems, and conduct knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support.

What You’ll Be Owning:

The right candidate will apply requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures) to each problem to provide state‑of‑the‑art techniques, tools, and approaches. This particular position will be a hybrid computer scientist/cyber threat analyst, specifically using Python, Spark/PySpark, and you will need to have a strong network and protocol analysis background and familiarity with customer tools.

What You Must Have:

• Master’s degree with 6 years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor’s Degree with 8 years of relevant experience.
• Associate’s degree with 10 years of relevant experience.
• Degree must be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field with at least one programming and at least four upper‑level math classes (Calculus and above).
• Relevant experience must be in a computer science area (theoretical or applied), simulation/model development, designing/developing/evaluating mathematical models, methods, and/or techniques (e.g., algorithm or development) computation science, algorithm analysis and design, reverse engineering, and/or designing/developing computer and information systems, including engineering hardware and/or software.
• Strong Network and Protocol Analysis background.
• Familiarity with customer tools.
• TS SCI w/ poly.

What Would Be Nice to Have:

• Experience designing, developing, delivering, and operating solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework.
• Experience with solutions that 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 discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support.
• Proficiency in applying requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures) to provide state‑of‑the‑art techniques, tools, and approaches.

Pay Range:

At GRVTY, we understand that compensation is influenced by many factors—such as geographic location, federal contract labor categories, wage rates, prior experience, skillsets, education, and certifications.
