Senior Cyber Incident Responder / Threat Hunter

Clearance:

Secret or TS/SCI (TS/SCI highly preferred)

Location:

On-Site/Hybrid (Smyrna, GA or Fort Gregg-Adams, VA)

Salary:

$185,000 - $220,000 +

Zero-Overhead Benefits Shift:

24/7/365 Watch Floor Operations (Shift work)

The Problem:

Most DoD watch floors burn out their best talent. Legacy contractors underpay you, and instead of actually threat hunting, you spend 12 hours a day staring at false positives in Splunk because no one wants to tune the SIEM.

The Sonic Solutions Fix:

I am a retired

USAF 16B

Weapons Officer (SOCOM), and I built Sonic Solutions to bypass the corporate bloat. We are teaming up to take over a critical

DISA/DCMA

mission, and my primary goal is killing Tier-1 alert fatigue. We are actively integrating localized, air-gapped AI into the SOAR pipeline to automate the low-level log parsing. I don't want my senior operators reading raw JSON; I want you managing the kinetic kill-chain.

What you will actually do:

Execute 24/7 continuous detection, triage, and rapid remediation to defend the DoDIN. Shift instantly from monitoring to active Incident Response—determining root cause, scope, and operational impact. Direct network containment strategies, coordinate rule tuning, and execute packet capture (PCAP) requests. Hunt for anomalies across Mission Critical Systems (MCS) and Mission Relevant Terrain - Cyber (MRT-C). Handle digital forensics strictly adhering to DoD chain-of-custody protocols and

CJCSM 6510.01B

reporting.

What you need:

An active Secret or TS/SCI clearance. Deep operational experience with Enterprise SIEM and EDR platforms. DoD 8570 compliance for Incident Response (e.g., CySA+, CEH, CASP+, or CISSP). The ability to stay cool and direct the containment strategy when a critical agency asset is actively under fire.

The Deal:

Because my firm doesn't carry a bloated HR or executive department, I pass those margins directly into your base salary. You get top-of-market cash, operator-led leadership, and a mission that actually defends the nation. How to Apply (No HR Portals): I don't use Workday, and I won't make you re-type your resume. If you have the clearance and the IR chops, just send me a direct message here or on LinkedIn. Send a PDF of your resume or just a link to your profile. We'll get on a 5-minute phone call to see if it's a fit.
