Senior Systems Engineer
$182k - $233kIntelliforce-IT Solutions Group, LLC.
Exploitation Analyst
Make an Impact Where It Matters Most
At Intelliforce, this work sits at the intersection of analytic insight and technical precision. In this role, you will help uncover and understand information within SIGINT and cybersecurity systems to support the exploitation of digital networks. You will work alongside technical experts and mission partners to turn complex information into operational value, using specialized tools, sharp analysis, and adaptive tradecraft to move the CNO mission forward.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This role is built for someone who likes hard problems, fast pivots, and technical work with immediate mission relevance. You will conduct deep target analysis, develop new exploitation techniques, and help solve bespoke challenges across a range of technologies and network environments. The work is investigative, hands-on, and closely tied to mission outcomes, with direct collaboration across operators, analysts, and partners.
At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your expertise matters. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong technical contributions get noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another analyst role. It is a chance to apply deep tradecraft in support of real operational objectives.
Here's What Your Day-to-Day Could Include
- Conduct in-depth target analysis and research
- Develop innovative tradecraft, exploitation techniques, and concepts of operation
- Work closely with operators and partners to analyze and process intelligence information
- Adapt quickly to new information, changing conditions, and unexpected obstacles
- Identify bespoke problems and provide technical assistance across a variety of technologies

- Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
- Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas
- 12 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree
- Or 10 years of relevant experience with a Master's degree
- Four additional years of relevant experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree
Required Skills
- Prior Exploitation Analyst experience
- Experience with mapping physical and logical target networks and identifying vulnerabilities
- Ability to identify and communicate computer and telecommunications network elements
- Knowledge of computer security principles, vulnerability analysis, and exploitation methods
- Deep knowledge of the concepts, principles, and methods for network connectivity, such as TCP/IP, DNS, and SSL
- Understanding of the methods, strategies, and techniques related to target development
Desired Skills
- Prior CNO experience
- Relevant experience in information security, network design, programming, vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, and or computer forensics
- Experience with Jupyter Notebooks and Python scripting
- Hands-on experience with XKS, DX, and other internal tradecraft
