• Developing, maintaining, and enhancing complex software systems based on documented requirements
• Collaborating with Red, Blue, and Hunt teams to design and improve cyber capabilities
• Troubleshooting software issues, debugging code, and resolving defects across systems
• Supporting development of tools used for vulnerability analysis, malware detection, and network defense
• Contributing to system and software design, including component development and integration decisions
• Participating in testing and validation to ensure software meets design and mission requirements
• Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and supporting DevOps workflows
• Working with data such as logs, binaries, and network traffic to support analysis and tool functionality
• Supporting rapid-response efforts to address emerging cyber threats
• Evaluating and integrating new technologies to improve performance, scalability, and mission impact
