  • Performing digital forensic examinations across multiple operating systems and devices using industry‑standard tools such as EDR / EDR‑forensics, EnCase, Rekall, Wireshark, etc.
  • Collecting, analyzing, and maintaining critical data sources including system logs, network traffic captures, EDR telemetry, and threat intelligence feeds to support investigations and remediation efforts.
  • Interpreting forensic artifacts, identifying Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and adversary Techniques, Tactics & Procedures (TTPs), and producing actionable intelligence.
  • Producing clear, professional incident investigation and forensic reports; translating technical findings into business‑relevant recommendations for clients or internal stakeholders.
  • Contributing to the refinement of incident response, forensic and threat‑hunting playbooks, processes and toolsets.
  • Collaborating with SOC, threat‑hunting, engineering, and client teams; providing mentorship and training to junior analysts.

  • Continuously grows expertise and participates in professional development.
  • Experience and Education

  • Minimum 3–5 years (or more, depending on seniority) experience in digital forensics, incident response or similar roles.
  • Demonstrated experience with EDR / XDR, SIEM, network / endpoint forensics, malware triage, memory / disk analysis.
  • Familiarity with forensic tools, methodologies, chain‑of‑custody and evidence handling.
  • Solid understanding of adversary TTPs, log analysis, threat intelligence, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills—able to translate technical investigation into business / client‑relevant findings.
  • Strong analytical mindset; critical thinker comfortable operating under incident response deadlines.
  • Prior consulting or client‑facing forensic / IR experience.
  • Experience in cloud / virtual environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) and forensics in hybrid / cloud contexts.
  • Experience coding or scripting (e.g., Python) or query languages (KQL, SQL) for forensic data analysis.
