The Work:
Investigations & Forensic Analysis
- Conduct complex forensic investigations including advanced memory forensics, malware triage, encrypted artifact recovery, and anti-forensics detection
- Perform host and network digital forensics, log analysis, and threat hunting in support of incident response engagements
- Leverage EDR solutions, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and threat intelligence to identify and document attacker TTPs
- Participate in incident response across cloud, OT, and traditional enterprise environments
- Develop indicators of compromise and contribute to comprehensive, defensible attack timelines
Tool & AI Development
- Design and build proprietary investigation tools, automation scripts, and data products that accelerate forensic workflows and improve team consistency
- Translate repeatable investigation processes into functional prototypes using AI-assisted development, low-code platforms, and data visualization tools (Power BI, Azure Data Services, Python, or similar)
- Apply generative AI and AI coding assistants as core development accelerators - not occasionally, but fluently - to reduce manual effort across triage, analysis, and reporting
- Govern the tools you build: documentation, version control, onboarding guides, and iteration based on real-world engagement feedback
- Collaborate with senior practitioners to identify where new tooling improves speed, quality, or scalability across service offerings
Client Engagement
- Interface with client stakeholders and legal counsel throughout the engagement lifecycle, both technically and strategically
- Author comprehensive, defensible written reports on investigative findings
- Present technical findings and tool outputs on client calls
- Support leadership in scoping engagements with methodical, innovative approaches
Here’s What You Need:
- Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent work experience
- Minimum of 3 years’ experience in:
- DFIR with demonstrated expertise in complex investigations
- Cybersecurity consulting and data-oriented development or analysis
- Building tools that others use in professional practice
- Minimum of 3 years demonstrated experience in:
- At least one data or development layer: Python, PowerShell, Power BI, Power Apps/Automate, SQL, or comparable stack
- Common DFIR toolsets (Volatility, X-Ways, FTK, EnCase, Autopsy, etc.)
- Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and MacOS operating systems
- Memory forensics
- Enterprise environments, Active Directory, and common attack patterns
- Threat hunting on both endpoints and networks
- Industry recognized incident response lifecycles and frameworks (e.g., SANS, NIST, MITRE, etc.)
- Producing accurate, defensible, well-documented analysis
- Minimum of 1 year demonstrated experience in:
- Using AI coding assistants and generative tools as a fluent part of your everyday development workflow
- Azure and cloud-native architectures; comfort using AI as a development accelerator
Bonus Points If:
- Experience with cloud forensics across AWS, Azure, and GCP; OT/ICS environments a plus
- Malware analysis capabilities: unpacking, deobfuscation, behavior analysis, reverse engineering
- Experience with AI governance, responsible use frameworks, or tool validation in a security or consulting context
Candidates must be open and able to travel based on client and project requirements.
