Job Description
Cryptologic Computer Scientist 3
We are searching for a Cryptologic Computer Scientist to design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. You will create solutions derived from forensics and attack attribution, facilitate protection of critical networks and active systems, and conduct knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. The right candidate will apply requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, databased theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structure) to each problem to provide state-of -the-art techniques, tools, and approaches. This particular position will be a hybrid computer scientist/cyber threat analyst, specifically using Python, Spark, and experience working with large scale data. You need to have a strong network and protocol analysis background, and familiarity with customer tools is beneficial. Ideally, you will be inquisitive and have a discovery-focused mindset.
