Job description

BCMC is supporting a U.S. Government customer to provide rapid deployment and management of secure cloud-based engagement kits for cyber incident response and threat hunting operations. As part of the Engagement Support Services (ESS) contract, this program enables analysts to quickly access the tools and environments they need to investigate cyber threats affecting federal agencies, state and local governments, and critical infrastructure. Working on this team means directly supporting the nation's cybersecurity defenders by ensuring they have reliable, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure available within hours of a cyber incident—helping protect America's digital infrastructure when it matters most.

The JCDC Cyber Triage Analyst serves as a frontline defender in the nation's cyber defense posture, performing initial analysis and triage of cyber threat reports, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and incident notifications submitted to the JCDC. This is not a developmental position. Analysts function similarly to a Tier 1/2 SOC analyst with enhanced threat intelligence responsibilities, and are expected to independently research cyber activity, rapidly assess and evaluate available information, develop defensible analytical conclusions, identify gaps, and recommend appropriate follow-on actions while maintaining strong coordination with government and private sector partners.

Perform initial triage and assessment of incoming cyber threat tickets, incident reports, and IOC submissions
Analyze technical data including IP addresses, domain names, file hashes, network traffic patterns, and malware artifacts

Prepare concise triage reports with actionable recommendations for escalation or further analysis
Route tickets to appropriate JCDC teams, CISA divisions, or interagency partners based on assessment findings
Coordinate with sector-specific analysts and interagency liaisons to gather additional context
Maintain accurate documentation in ticketing systems and knowledge management platforms
Participate in shift handoffs and contribute to daily operational briefings
Support development of triage playbooks and standard operating procedures

Demonstrated experience with recognizing and categorizing types of vulnerabilities and associated attacks- Knowledge of Computer Network Defense policies, procedures, and regulations
Knowledge of different operational threat environments (e.g., first generation [script kiddies], second generation [non nation-state sponsored], and third generation [nation-state sponsored])
