Description
Leidos’ Digital Sector is seeking an experienced, multidisciplinary Cyber Threat Intelligence & SOAR Automation Analyst supporting DISA Global. This hybrid technical role bridges day-to-day Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) automation with operational Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) solutions development.
In this role, you will perform hands-on threat intelligence analysis, feed curation, and indicator lifecycle management within Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP), while directly designing, building, and deploying automations in SOAR environments. You will operationalize intelligence feeds by applying low-regret scoring models and building automated defensive workflows to enable real-time blocking, enrichment, and triage across the DoWIN security stacks.
Primary Responsibilities
- Hands-on Intelligence Analysis & Feed Curation: Analyze threat intelligence reporting, assess emerging threats, map adversary tactics to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and evaluate indicators across diverse external and internal feeds.
- DISA TIP Administration & Indicator Lifecycle Management: Configure, maintain, and optimize DTIP feed ingestion pipelines (STIX/TAXII), manage IOC repositories, maintain data dictionaries, and tune indicator expiration policies.
- Automated Defensive Blocking & Sensor Integration: Implement low-regret scoring logic and automated blocklist distribution for security solutions.
- API Development & Custom Connectors: Write robust Python scripts and utilize REST APIs to interconnect DTIP, Tines, ticketing systems, and SIEM/log repositories.
- Investigation & Operational Triage Support: Support Cyber Security Watch Officers (CSWOs) with indicator validation, false-positive troubleshooting, and rapid-response containment workflows.
- SOAR Playbook Development & Execution: Design, build, test, and optimize automated incident response and threat-enrichment playbooks within Tines to streamline 24x7 SOC monitoring workflows.
- Platform Maintenance & Sustainment: Assist in sustaining and securing core automation and intelligence platforms, maintaining containerized services (Docker), applying STIG configurations, and leveraging Git for version control.
- Technical Intelligence Reporting: Produce technical intelligence briefs, indicator documentation, and triage summaries to inform ongoing defensive operations.
Basic Qualifications
- Clearance: Active Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI)
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, IT, or a related discipline plus 4+ years of relevant hands-on operational experience.
- Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) Experience: experience working with TIP managing IOC lifecycles and configuring threat feed ingestions.
- SOAR & Playbook Development: Proven hands-on experience designing and implementing automated workflows and playbooks using SOAR platforms.
- Scripting & Tooling: Strong scripting skills in Python for API interactions and data parsing, with supplemental experience in Bash or PowerShell.
- Data Formats & Version Control: Proven ability to create, edit, and validate configuration files and schemas in JSON, YAML, and Git for code management.
- Enterprise Security Stacks: Applied technical understanding of enterprise security solutions and their integration mechanisms.
- DoD Compliance: Must possess an active DoD 8140/8570 Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist 521 (CS) Intermediate-level baseline certification (e.g., Security+ CE, PenTest+, CySA+, GSEC, or GMON).
Preferred Qualifications
- Low-Regret Triage & IACD: Applied experience utilizing Integrated Adaptive Cyber Defense (IACD) low-regret scoring principles to automate indicator blocking with minimal mission impact.
- Cyber Intelligence Communication Standards: Practical experience parsing and structuring STIX/TAXII intelligence feeds and maintaining CTI data dictionaries.
- Adversary Analysis: Deep understanding of adversary TTPs and practical experience conducting adversary assessment via MITRE ATT&CK.
- SIEM & Big Data: Familiarity querying and integrating workflows with log management and SIEM platforms such as Splunk or Elastic (ELK).
- Zero Trust: Baseline understanding of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) concepts and principles.
- Additional Experience: Any experience with ThreatQ TIP and/or Tines

Tips for Your Cyber Intelligence Analyst Job Search
Tailor your resume to clearance requirements
Many cyber intelligence analyst postings require an active TS/SCI clearance, so list your clearance level, polygraph type, and sponsoring agency prominently near the top. Hiring managers in this field filter on clearance before reading anything else.
Highlight specific threat frameworks you know
Generic security language won't stand out. Name the frameworks you've applied, such as MITRE ATT&CK, Diamond Model, or Cyber Kill Chain, and describe a concrete analysis you performed using them. Reviewers look for demonstrated methodology, not familiarity.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists cyber intelligence analyst openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by mission type, not just title
Cyber intelligence analyst roles differ sharply by mission: nation-state tracking, financial crime, or critical infrastructure differ in day-to-day work. Filter postings by the adversary set or sector they mention so your application speaks directly to that team's focus.
Prepare for structured analytical exercises
Many agencies and contractors use structured analytic technique exercises during interviews, asking you to assess a scenario using tools like Analysis of Competing Hypotheses. Practice writing a brief intelligence assessment with key assumptions, source quality ratings, and a confidence level.
Negotiate start date around clearance transfer timing
If you hold an active clearance at a current employer, your offer letter timing matters because a reciprocal acceptance can take weeks or longer. Raise clearance transfer status early in negotiations so your start date reflects the realistic intake window, not just the hiring team's preference.
Cyber Intelligence Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most cyber intelligence analysts?
MITRE, Leidos, and Booz Allen Hamilton are hiring the most cyber intelligence analysts right now, with openings concentrated in Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Defense contractors and federal agencies consistently make up the largest share of active postings in this field.
How many cyber intelligence analyst jobs are remote?
About 38% of cyber intelligence analyst openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though classified work tied to a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility requires on-site presence. Open-source intelligence and unclassified threat reporting roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility within this occupation.
How do you become a cyber intelligence analyst?
Start with a degree in cybersecurity, intelligence studies, criminal justice, or a related field, then pursue foundational certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or the SANS GIAC suite. Build hands-on experience through internships with federal agencies, law enforcement, or private threat intelligence teams, and work toward obtaining a security clearance, which most roles require.
How do you get hired as a cyber intelligence analyst with little experience?
Entry-level pathways typically run through internships with defense agencies, military service in a signals or intelligence occupational specialty, or junior roles at a managed security services provider. Producing a writing sample, such as a mock intelligence brief on a publicly reported threat actor, demonstrates analytical ability when you lack professional intelligence production credits on your resume.
What does the cyber intelligence analyst interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a technical interview covering analytical methods and tool proficiency, and a scenario-based exercise where you assess a simulated threat or write a short intelligence summary. Classified positions add a background investigation and polygraph at the offer stage, which can extend the overall timeline significantly beyond a standard hiring cycle.
Where can I find and apply to cyber intelligence analyst jobs?
You can find and apply to cyber intelligence analyst jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the available roles, find the listings that match your clearance level, specialization, and location preference, and apply directly to each one that fits your background.
