TL;DR · Cyber Intelligence Fusion Analyst

The Cyber Intelligence Fusion Analyst serves as the proactive analysis and threat-hunting engine for the J361 Security Operations Center. This role involves synthesizing all-source threat reporting to conduct structured hunts, perform environment sweeps, and deliver tailored analytical reports and briefings to senior leadership. The analyst will correlate external intelligence with enterprise telemetry, map adversary TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks, and develop detection logic and countermeasure recommendations. Key technical skills include proficiency in SIEM, EDR, and network analysis tools such as Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel, and Wireshark. The role requires expertise in querying languages like SPL, KQL, and Python to analyze high-volume data across classified, unclassified, and cloud environments. This position addresses the critical need to identify, characterize, and mitigate complex threats affecting tenants throughout the National Capital Region.

  • Synthesize cyber threat reporting from OSINT, government sources, and commercial platforms to identify relevant threats.
  • Correlate external intelligence with enterprise telemetry including SIEM, EDR, network traffic, and system logs.
  • Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts to identify emerging campaigns, vulnerabilities, and malicious behaviors.
  • Characterize adversary infrastructure, malware, and TTPs using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain.
  • Develop detection logic, custom signatures, and automated queries to improve defense against known threats.
  • Produce technical and executive-level reports, briefings, and situational awareness updates for senior leadership.
  • Provide threat context and expert analysis to incident responders during active investigations.
  • Create and maintain standard operating procedures, hunt playbooks, and knowledge management artifacts.

What we're looking for

  • Active Top Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain SCI.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent experience and certifications.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in cyber, intelligence, or related fields.
  • 4+ years of experience in cybersecurity operations, threat hunting, or incident response.
  • Must meet DoD 8140 IAT Level II and obtain DoD 8140 CSSP Analyst (CSSP-A) certifications.
  • Experience applying MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks to characterize adversary activity.
  • Proficiency in querying and analyzing SIEM, EDR, network traffic, and other security telemetry.
  • Ability to produce technical and executive-level reports and briefings for senior leadership.
