Key Responsibilities

Target Identification & Traffic Analysis:

Analyze broadband and Internet traffic to identify viable remote delivery opportunities.

Identify OS characteristics, technical indicators, and network behaviors relevant to delivery planning.

Assess risks related to host-based and network-based defensive tools that may obstruct delivery or expose operations.

Maintain situational awareness of target behavior, access challenges, and environmental changes that may impact mission execution.

Remote Delivery Preparation & Execution:

Configure remote delivery systems and servers to support controlled exploitation of identified targets.

Execute remote delivery operations to obtain system-level access using mission-approved capabilities.

Validate successful access and confirm system compatibility prior to implant installation.

Troubleshoot delivery issues and collaborate with engineering teams to refine configurations or delivery profiles.

Operational Compliance & Documentation:

Operate within legally governed technical collection programs, adhering strictly to authorization procedures.

Document all operational actions, decisions, configuration changes, and outcomes in accordance with program standards.

Ensure remote delivery activities comply with mission scope, timelines, and legal requirements.

Stakeholder Interaction & Mission Support:

Communicate technical constraints, access limitations, and environmental risks to investigative and mission stakeholders.

Coordinate with case managers, CNE tool operators, and technical leads to ensure synchronized mission execution.

Support deconfliction efforts across operational teams to maintain safe, compliant, and integrated mission activities.

Required Experience/Clearance

Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.

5+ years of experience supporting CNO/CNE operations, offensive cyber operations, or penetration testing.

Hands-on experience delivering remote exploits, conducting controlled injections, or leveraging remote delivery platforms.

Strong understanding of broadband architectures, Internet traffic patterns, and common network delivery points.

Experience analyzing network traffic to identify controlled access opportunities or exploitation paths.

Knowledge of defensive mechanisms such as antivirus tools, intrusion detection systems, and OS-level protections.

Demonstrated ability to operate within legally governed technical collection programs requiring strict compliance.

Strong communication skills, including the ability to convey technical issues to investigative and non-technical personnel.

Desired Experience

Experience with vulnerability exploitation, payload delivery, and access development.

Familiarity with OS internals and network stacks (Windows, Linux, mobile OS environments).

Understanding of broadband service provider technologies and delivery paths.

Experience in mission-critical operational environments with time-sensitive tasking.

Scripting or automation skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for traffic analysis or environment preparation.
