Role Description

The Intermediate Cyber Solution Engineer acts as the bridge between tactical operations and strategic defense. In addition to handling escalations, this role moves beyond reactive monitoring into proactive threat hunting and process codification. You are expected to mentor junior staff and translate technical findings into actionable playbooks.

Core Responsibilities
  • Incident Escalation:
    Serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for complex NDR alerts that require deeper investigation than the associate level can provide.
  • Threat Hunting:
    Conduct quarterly "Compromise Assessments" by analyzing historical network metadata to find dormant threats.
  • Process Engineering:
    Author "Runbooks" and playbooks that turn successful incident resolutions into repeatable, automated team processes.
  • Advanced Analysis:
    Perform detailed log analysis and parsing to identify patterns of malicious behavior.
Requirements
  • Experience:

    3-6 Years of progressive cybersecurity experience
  • Advanced Linux/Unix/Windows troubleshooting, SIEM/SOAR querying, and MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping
  • Advanced network troubleshooting
  • Experience with log analysis and log parsing
  • Previous work in customer-facing roles
  • Advanced knowledge of cyber security principles and practices
  • Demonstrated ability to use LLMs for self-research and troubleshooting while maintaining a "trust but verify" mindset
  • Preferred:
    • Basic Python scripting
    • Experience threat hunting
    • Network admin experience
    • Experience interacting with Log Scale, Zeek, and/or Suricata
    • Clearance
  • Education:
    • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field.
    • Non-Traditional Path: 4+ years of relevant military experience (e.g., MOS 25D, 17C) or intensive technical experience in Sys Admin/Net Admin roles.
  • Certifications:

    GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA), GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH), or CompTIA CySA+. Reason:
    These validate the ability to perform high-level analysis and incident response.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
  • Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
  • Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds.
