## Description

We are seeking a Senior Attack Sensing & Warning Analyst to provide subject-matter expertise for a federal agency's highest-severity security events. You will lead complex event analysis, mentor junior analysts, and serve as a key technical voice in shaping SOC detection strategy. When the SOC faces its toughest calls - ambiguous alerts, novel attack patterns, or fast-moving incidents with executive visibility - you will be the analyst the team looks to for clarity, and your recommendations will directly influence how the SOC tunes its defenses going forward.

What you'll do:

 * Lead analysis of the most complex and high-severity security events across SIEM, network, cloud, and endpoint systems.
 * Serve as SME for evidence preservation and proper chain-of-custody handling across all data classification levels, up to Top Secret.
 * Mentor Tier I and Tier II analysts on advanced triage and analysis techniques.
 * Drive security content recommendations (signatures, detection rules) resulting from complex investigations.
 * Support the SOC's weekly and monthly reporting cycle with high-fidelity analysis summaries.
 * Serve as shift technical lead when the AS&W Lead is unavailable, making real-time escalation and prioritization calls.
 * Lead retrospective reviews of significant incidents to identify detection gaps and process improvement opportunities.
 * Partner with Cyber Threat Intelligence and Cyber Threat Hunt to validate and operationalize new indicators of compromise.
