JOB DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
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:

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
