You'll bring deep tradecraft in your discipline while collaborating across a broader mission team, working side-by-side with government personnel and fellow analysts to turn raw data and access into actionable outcomes.

This is a home for experienced practitioners and subject matter experts alike. Whether you're deep in one discipline or have cross-functional breadth, there's a place for your skillset here.

• Experience with offensive security operations, red team or purple team methodologies, or tools such as Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, or Burp Suite
• Experience with defensive cyber operations, network security engineering, or vulnerability assessment
• Knowledge of standard intelligence systems and tools, the intelligence planning process, and the national IC community
• Possession of excellent written and verbal communication skills, including briefing findings to technical and non-technical audiences
