What You Will Do:

At Independent Software, we believe your work should be meaningful, your team should be supportive, and your growth should be a priority. As a Digital Forensic Analyst, you won’t just be running tools, you’ll be directly contributing to national security by investigating complex cyber threats and producing intelligence that drives real-world defense operations. You’ll work in a collaborative, mission-focused environment where your skills are respected and your input makes a difference. If you're looking for a place that values technical excellence, autonomy, and impact, this is where you belong.

In this role, you will conduct investigations into computer security incidents and perform forensic exploitation of captured digital media to extract actionable intelligence. Your efforts will support the identification of network vulnerabilities, enable threat attribution, and drive proactive defense and mitigation strategies across critical mission environments.

This position requires experience working with endpoint and device-driven data, familiarity with Linux systems, and comfort using the Linux command line. Knowledge of customer-specific cyber forensic tools and techniques is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform forensic analysis of captured digital media including hard drives, removable storage, and memory
  • Extract, analyze, and interpret endpoint and device-level data for use in cyber investigations
  • Identify artifacts associated with malware, adversary tactics, and unauthorized system activity
  • Leverage Linux systems and command line tools for forensic processing and data triage
  • Develop technical reports and intelligence products that inform cyber defense operations
  • Collaborate with analysts and engineers in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • Experience with endpoint and device-driven data analysis
  • Familiarity with Linux systems and strong proficiency using the Linux command line
  • Knowledge of digital forensic methodologies and tools
  • Understanding of adversary techniques, malware behavior, and cyber intrusion patterns
  • Ability to produce clear, detailed technical reports for cyber intelligence or incident response use
  • Familiarity with customer-specific forensic tools and environments is highly desirable
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree with 2 or more years of relevant experience, or
  • Associate’s degree with 4 or more years of relevant experience
  • Preferred majors include Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related field
  • Completion of formal military cyber training, such as the Joint Cyber Analysis Course (JCAC), will also be considered qualifying experience
Certifications:
  • Certifications are a plus, especially in the areas of cybersecurity, digital forensics, or Linux administration (e.g., GCFA, GCIH, CEH, Security+, Linux+)
Clearance Requirement:
  • Must possess an active TS/SCI with Polygraph security clearance to be considered for this role.
