- Develop and operationalize detection logic and automation using cloud-native tools (Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, AWS GuardDuty, GCP Chronicle) and scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash), integrating threat intelligence feeds and indicators.
- Produce technical reports, incident documentation, and containment recommendations integrating cloud, identity, and endpoint findings; support development of incident response playbooks and procedures for cloud and hybrid environments.
- Support cloud development and automation projects to enhance threat emulation, investigative, and hunting capabilities.
- Coordinate with internal teams, government staff, and external stakeholders to validate alerts and investigate preliminary findings.

Required Skills:
- U.S. Citizenship
- Active TS/SCI clearance
- Ability to obtain Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Entry on Duty (EOD) Suitability
- 8+ years of experience in cyber forensic investigations with leading tools and techniques.
- Strong understanding of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS in cloud environments, and hybrid identity security.
- Expertise in acquiring forensically sound evidence, analyzing attacks, and reporting findings.
- Knowledge of M365/Azure, hybrid identity, and threats targeting these solutions.
- Knowledge of AWS, IAM, and best practices for cloud identity security.

Desired Skills:
- Strong API and scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, Bash, JavaScript) for automation and threat detection.
- Knowledge of common and advanced cloud attacks and techniques, and how to detect and mitigate these threats.
- Proficiency with cloud automation and orchestration tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, Docker).
