Cryptologic Computer Scientist Security Clearance

Overview

Gormat is searching for a 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. 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 position will be a hybrid computer scientist/cyber threat analyst, specifically using Python and Spark/PySpark, with a strong network and protocol analysis background and familiarity with customer tools.

• Design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework.
• Solutions 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.
• Apply 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.
• Maintain a hybrid computer scientist/cyber threat analyst profile, with experience in Python, Spark, and large-scale data; possess a strong network and protocol analysis background. Familiarity with customer tools is beneficial, and a discovery-focused mindset is desirable.

• Doctoral degree plus 4 years of relevant experience.
• Master's degree with 6 years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor's Degree with 8 years of relevant experience.
• Associates 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 4 upper-level math classes (Calculus and above).
• Relevant experience must be in a computer science area (theoretical or applied), simulation/model development, designing/developing/using/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 Python, Spark/PySpark skills.
• Strong network and protocol analysis background.
• Familiarity with customer tools. TS/SCI with polygraph is required.
