Chantilly, VA

The Data Exploiter analyzes large, unstructured datasets to support operational targeting and analytical requirements. You will manage the entire data life cycle—from collection and triage to vulnerability assessment and the dissemination of actionable intelligence.

• Extract and analyze foreign intelligence/counterintelligence value from digital data; assist with cyber attribution efforts.
• Conduct log analysis, network traffic monitoring, and vulnerability risk assessments to detect breaches and anomalies.
• Develop tailored intelligence products, entity profiles, and derive datasets to drive targeting and operations.
• Create new methodologies/algorithms for data correlation; recommend new technologies to improve team performance.
• Maintain technical documentation and collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, engineers, and developers.

• Experience in network traffic analysis, detailed log analysis, and system monitoring.
• Proven ability in vulnerability identification, risk analysis, remediation, and evaluating worldwide security events (Zero Days, cyber-attacks).
• Ability to sift through large unstructured datasets to identify/correlate key metadata, artifacts, and critical information gaps.
• Knowledge of incident response, containment, mitigation, and common cyber-attack methods.
• Experience with technical collection abilities and the full targeting life cycle.

• Proficient with network monitoring tools (Splunk, Wireshark, Solar Winds, WSUS, Snare) and OS hardening (CIS-CAT).
• Strong understanding of VPNs, VLANs, TCP/IP, and Linux OS.
• Experience using scripting to exploit large data sets.
• Technical targeting experience; ability to navigate enterprise security accreditation processes; capable of working independently.
