## Description

We are seeking an Incident Response Analyst to strengthen a federal agency's Cyber Incident Response Team.

What you'll do:

 * Respond to information system security incidents using the government-furnished toolset to identify and determine root causes.
 * Produce required documentation and possible evidence for authorized personnel with legal or investigative authorities.
 * Support advanced analysis of data file system artifacts, memory, and network logs during active incidents.
 * Assist in scoping and containing compromises across Windows, Linux, and cloud environments.
 * Contribute to post-incident recommendations for improving the agency's security posture.
 * Coordinate directly with system owners and ISSOs during containment and remediation activities.
 * Support email trace, purge, and data spillage sanitization efforts per established procedures. \
 * Mentor junior CIRT analysts on evidence handling and case documentation standards.
