What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on monitoring and analyzing network traffic patterns to detect, predict, and investigate cybersecurity incidents for an Intelligence Community customer. Day-to-day work involves developing and tuning detection rules, signatures, and scripts; collaborating with incident response and data analytics teams; and correlating threat indicators across enterprise systems. It suits an experienced cyber analyst holding a TS/SCI clearance with a strong background in SIEM querying, network protocol analysis, and signature development.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (10)
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'multiple locations worldwide'; the role supports an Intelligence Community customer and is almost certainly US-based given the TS/SCI requirement, but no specific metro or state is named.
Clearance gate is TS/SCI with the ability to obtain a CI Polygraph — the poly is not yet required but must be obtainable.
DoD 8140.01 / 8570.01-M IAT Level III and CSSP Analyst certifications are hard-required; captured as a single skill representing the certification gate rather than listing individual cert names (e.g., GCIA, GCIH, CCNP Security) since the JD specifies compliance level, not a specific cert.
Static file signature / 'magic numbers' knowledge is folded into the signature development skill, as the JD treats it as part of the same countermeasure-development competency.
Scripting (Python/Bash/PowerShell) and hex editor comfort appear under 'Desired Skills' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Data mining / SIEM query experience and signature tuning are listed under 'Required Skills' and are marked as hard gates.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): signature development, network protocol analysis, DoD 8570 IAT Level III.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
