Tech Stack
About the role
- Conduct cyber incident investigations and digital forensic analysis (sans drama, but with precision).
- Perform malware triage, memory forensics, and compromise assessments.
- Document findings clearly enough that even your non-technical colleagues will think you’re a wizard.
- Work with global NetWitness IR experts to respond to complex attacks and improve detection.
- Share knowledge, challenge hypotheses, and occasionally utter phrases like “It depends” with confidence.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of solid, hands-on experience in cybersecurity.
- Minimum 2 years of direct involvement in incident response, digital forensics, or malware analysis.
- Alternatively, visible public research or open-source projects in DFIR or malware analysis are perfectly acceptable — we value results over titles.
- Strong technical foundation in Windows, Linux, and network investigations.
- Comfortable using tools like NetWitness, Volatility, Velociraptor, or your own custom scripts.
- Scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, or Bash – bonus points if you’ve written something that made your teammates both grateful and slightly afraid.
- SANS certifications (GCFA, GREM, GNFA, GCFE, etc.) are definite pluses, as is a calm demeanor during incidents that make others panic.
- Fluency in English; Arabic proficiency is a welcome advantage.
Benefits
- Work with some of the brightest minds in digital forensics and incident response.
- Get hands-on with major cybersecurity incidents while using serious tooling (and a healthy dose of wit).
- Be part of a team that values curiosity, professional rigor, and the occasional well-timed sarcastic observation.
- Continual learning and growth opportunities through global collaboration and SANS-aligned training.
