The Role
Design and operate solutions for cryptologic problems including forensics, attack attribution, network protection, and knowledge discovery. Apply advanced computer science (algorithms, compilers, OS, architectures) and large-scale data analysis using Python and Spark to detect anomalies, analyze intrusions, and support cryptologic mission needs.
Summary Generated by Built In
Acclaim Technical Services, founded in 2000, is a leading language, operations, and technology services company supporting a wide range of U.S. Federal agencies. We are an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company, which is uncommon within our business sector. We see this as a significant strength, and it shows: ATS is consistently ranked as a top workplace among DC area firms and continues to grow.
We are actively recruiting a Cryptologic Computer Scientist with TS/SCI w/ Poly to support our Defense and Homeland Security Division in Annapolis Junction, MD.
Individuals will 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, dataflow, anomaly detection, intrusion analysis, and data processing is beneficial.
The Cryptologic Computer Scientist shall possess the following capabilities:
