Cyber Threat Intelligence & SOAR Automation Analyst

Leidos’ Digital Sector is seeking an experienced, multidisciplinary Cyber Threat Intelligence & SOAR Automation Analyst supporting DISA Global. This hybrid technical role bridges day‑to‑day Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) automation with operational Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) solutions development. In this role, you will perform hands-on threat intelligence analysis, feed curation, and indicator lifecycle management within Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP), while directly designing, building, and deploying automations in SOAR environments.

You will operationalize intelligence feeds by applying low-regret scoring models and building automated defensive workflows to enable real‑time blocking, enrichment, and triage across the DoWIN security stacks.

• Hands-on Intelligence Analysis & Feed Curation:
  Analyze threat intelligence reporting, assess emerging threats, map adversary tactics to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and evaluate indicators across diverse external and internal feeds.
• DISA TIP Administration & Indicator Lifecycle Management:
  Configure, maintain, and optimize DTIP feed ingestion pipelines (STIX/TAXII), manage IOC repositories, maintain data dictionaries, and tune indicator expiration policies.
• Automated Defensive Blocking & Sensor Integration:
  Implement low-regret scoring logic and automated blocklist distribution for security solutions.
• API Development & Custom Connectors:
  Write robust Python scripts and utilize REST APIs to interconnect DTIP, Tines, ticketing systems, and SIEM/log repositories.
• Investigation & Operational Triage Support:
  Support Cyber Security Watch Officers (CSWOs) with indicator validation, false-positive troubleshooting, and rapid-response containment workflows.
• SOAR Playbook Development & Execution:
  Design, build, test, and optimize automated incident response and threat-enrichment playbooks within Tines to streamline 24x7 SOC monitoring workflows.
• Platform Maintenance & Sustainment:
  Assist in sustaining and securing core automation and intelligence platforms, maintaining containerized services (Docker), applying STIG configurations, and leveraging Git for version control.
• Technical Intelligence Reporting:
  Produce technical intelligence briefs, indicator documentation, and triage summaries to inform ongoing defensive operations.

  Active Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI)
• Education & Experience:
  
  Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, IT, or a related discipline plus 4+ years of relevant hands-on operational experience.
• Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP)
  
  Experience:
  
  experience working with TIP managing IOC life cycles and configuring threat feed ingestions.
• SOAR & Playbook Development:
  Proven hands-on experience designing and implementing automated workflows and playbooks using SOAR platforms.
• Scripting & Tooling:
  Strong scripting skills in Python for API interactions and data parsing, with supplemental experience in Bash or Power Shell.
• Data Formats & Version Control:
  Proven ability to create, edit, and validate configuration files and schemas in JSON, YAML, and Git for code management.
• Enterprise Security Stacks:
  Applied technical understanding of enterprise security solutions and their integration mechanisms.
• DoD Compliance:
  Must possess an active DoD 8140/8570 Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist 521 (CS) Intermediate-level baseline certification (e.g., Security+ CE, Pen Test+, CySA+, GSEC, or GMON).

• Low-Regret Triage & IACD:
  Applied experience utilizing Integrated Adaptive Cyber Defense (IACD) low-regret scoring principles to automate indicator blocking with minimal…
