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 Threat Analyst Job Search
Tailor your resume to each listing
Cyber threat analyst postings vary significantly by focus area. Pull the specific threat frameworks, tools, and environments named in each job description and mirror that language in your resume's skills section and bullet points, not just your summary.
Certify before applying to clearance roles
Many federal and defense positions require active certifications like Security+, CEH, or CISSP before an offer is extended. Check the clearance level and certification requirements in the posting before applying so you're not filtered out at the screening stage.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists cyber threat analyst openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Demonstrate practical detection experience
Hiring managers for analyst roles want to see that you've built detection rules, investigated real alerts, or tuned SIEM environments. If your resume only lists tools you've used, add a line describing the outcome or scope of that work.
Prepare a threat hunt walk-through for interviews
Expect at least one technical scenario where you're asked to describe how you'd investigate a suspicious indicator. Practice walking through your methodology from initial detection to escalation, naming the specific tools and data sources you'd consult.
Negotiate clearance sponsorship before accepting
If a role requires a clearance you don't currently hold, confirm in writing that the employer will sponsor the investigation before you accept. Timelines and employer commitment vary widely, and that detail isn't always spelled out in the offer letter.
Cyber Threat Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most cyber threat analysts?
The companies hiring the most cyber threat analysts right now include Leidos, Peraton, and MANTECH, with the largest share of openings in Virginia, Maryland, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Defense contractors, financial institutions, and managed security service providers consistently account for a large portion of active postings.
How many cyber threat analyst jobs are remote?
About 36% of cyber threat analyst openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though availability varies by employer type and clearance requirement. Threat intelligence and digital forensics roles tend to offer more remote flexibility, while security operations center positions tied to classified environments are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become a cyber threat analyst?
Start by building a foundation in networking, operating systems, and security fundamentals, then pursue a certification like Security+ or CEH to validate that knowledge. Gain hands-on experience through a SOC analyst role, an internship, or home lab work with tools like Splunk or Wireshark. From there, develop specialization in threat intelligence, incident response, or malware analysis to move into dedicated analyst positions.
Can you get hired as a cyber threat analyst with little experience?
Yes, some employers hire candidates with limited professional experience if you can demonstrate practical skills through certifications, home lab projects, or competitive platforms like capture-the-flag events. Entry-level SOC analyst roles are the most common starting point, and moving into a threat analyst title typically takes one to three years of hands-on detection and investigation work from there.
What does the cyber threat analyst interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a technical interview focused on how you investigate alerts and use specific tools, and a practical scenario or case study where you walk through a threat from detection to escalation. Some employers add a written assessment or a panel interview with members from both the security team and management before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to cyber threat analyst jobs?
You can find and apply to cyber threat analyst jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
