I need to add someone to my team that's mid to senior level and has experience with NISPOM, SIPRNet & STIGs. Ideally, you know how IDS's work and have used FireEye, IronPort, Palo Alto's, SIEM's, Retina/Nessus, etc, etc. Your duties will be split between the classified and unclassified networks approximately 75/25. We all work on the same stuff, but your main focus will be the class side, though.
Pros: Fun environment Laid back atmosphere (non-profit) Tons of training opportunities Top Secret Clearance, if you don't already have one Several ARFCOM members work here Lots of other awesome benefits (choice of company provided new phone - Apple or Android, etc) On-site 24/7 fitness center All the free coffee and iced tea you'd like Cons: We don't have free parking ($120/mo) It's in Arlington So, if you fit the bill, or know someone who does, and want more info, let me know. I'm looking ASAP and wanted to post here first. (I'll take a more Jr. depending on .MIL, NISPOM, SIPRNet & STIGs experience.) |

I haven't seen the word "STIG" in a while. Still made me twitch. Good luck and good on you for posting here first!
|
|
In case you haven't already done so.... you might want to cross post this to the MD and DC forums (not sure if there are Arf members living in DC.)

I thought about that, but figured anyone with half a brain would have left those hell-holes a long while ago. I'll cast the net over there and see what I can catch. Maybe a stand-up guy (or gal) looking for work over there. Posted to the .mil forum as well, but no dice. |

Feel free to post this at pistol-forum as well, we have a lot of NoVA IT guys there too and I'm a mod there.

Oh those STIGs
Sorry but no SIPRNet experience here. Everything I do is all on the NIPR side. |

You had me until Arlington.
Seriously. I'd have to take the train |

You had me until Arlington. Seriously. I'd have to take the train View Quote Damn... I can't GIVE this job away. We were 4 miles south a year ago, which was nice because I live south. But we built a brand new building and have been here just over a year. Employees and family were able to come out on 4th of July this year and last and watch the fireworks from the roof, so that's a nice perk. And missing the traffic leaving DC. Anyway, might have enough extras and pay well enough to entice someone. Obviously, as a gun forum I don't expect a lot of techies, but since NOVA is known as Silicon Valley East I'd have never figured I'd not get a single response. Not just from here, from anywhere I've posted! I've only had 7 views in the .mil jobs forum. 7 views!!! |

I IMed you back and pushed this post to my more qualified coworker...
|

Wish I had more current experience with that stuff. My current security role has been more compliance oriented than what you're looking for

Surprised you haven't had more folks jumping on that. I can introduce you to some recruiters if your in-house folks aren't getting you enough resumes to look at. It's not my specialty, or I'd be interested myself (I do program management). My wife's office is right there in Clarendon, nice neighborhood. Good luck!

We've got in-house recruiters plus a paid headhunter and no one can find a single resume to send me. |

I once had to STIG a box that booted off a CD every time. Getting that locked down was an adventure. I think my technical days are behind me, though.
Most of the folk you're looking at already have some government experience via .mil or .gov jobs. Go surf USAJOBS and you'll see a billion or 2 IT Security openings. Most people want to get their 20 years in to secure a pension these days, you have to pay a lot or have some prestige to get the resumes coming in for mid/senior level. Do what I keep telling my boss to do...hire quality entry level people then spend the money you save on salary on their training, and you'll have good mid-level people in no time. |

View Quote Unfortunately, I need someone yesterday. Hiring and training someone isn't feasible. I can't get into a lot of details about what we do, either, which makes hiring difficult unless you meet certain criteria for interview purposes (and certainly not post worthy on the innerwebs). Other than to say my team does, well, we do cool shit. And I'm passionate about it - we're making a huge difference and pissing off a lot of countries. But to your comment about pay. The pay is absolutely sick. There should be a group of people fighting it out gladiator style for the position. And you're spot on, people with jobs aren't necessarily looking if they are taken care of and enjoy their positions. |

Alright, I still need someone - badly. Here's what I can work with - Minimum active Secret clearance (we'll bump it to TS); experience with STIG's; experience with SIPR related stuff (ACAS, HBSS, etc).
I don't need mastery level kung fu, I need someone I can converse with on those topics and won't respond with "What's a STIG?". We can teach you everything else. Typical previous job titles might be Information Assurance Engineer, Information Assurance Analyst, ISSO... Let me know. |

Looking for an intern? I am majoring in Info Tech at GMU with a focus in Security. Huh Huh you know you want to. I had a secret clearance at one point with in the last 4 years.

Wow. Looks like a great job, you'd think around this area there would be plenty of interest.

I can do anything....
Security no one needs that crap. Keep it of fthe internet then it is secure. IT security well I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night but not an Express. This stuff is not hard just getting a TS might be an issue. I have a TS but not a IT guy. I just know how to do it because IT guys I have had hired by my Agency are idiots. It's like they raided a Special Ed Bus. |

Either way, your post had me laughing. |

I'm surprised you have not gotten more candidates. Do you think it is the location?
Most of that sort of people that I know seem to prefer the Reston or Chantilly areas. Back in the day, my wife worked on the router architecture for both sipper and nipper - but you can't have her - I still have use for her myself. Have you considered the impact on contract positions if sequestration continues - I hear there is a lot of contingency planning going on with regard to contract positions. You could get lucky and pick up contractors from any number of organizations in the intel community if the budget numbers do not work out. |

The benefits are outstanding, the pay is excellent, the hours are flexible... I can only assume the people qualified for the job are already employed and not interested in moving along?

I'm typing the job description now - so it's TBD. It's probably going to require a full Secret clearance to start (I can get you an interim TS within a week or so). But without a full Secret you can't sit in the closed areas unescorted. Otherwise, the job description will require a degree in IT/IA or a STEM field and an IAM Level I certification 8570.01-M (CAP, GSLC, or Security+ CE). If you don't have a cert but you otherwise "wow" me, you'll have six months to get one and we'll pay for the books/training/exam. Ideally I'd like someone who has worked in IT or security for a couple of years. An understanding of basic networking is ideal... maybe played around with Red Hat or Ubuntu... run a vulnerability scan before (sqlmap, metasploit, nessus, etc). Again, it's a junior position so you just need to be extremely motivated to learn and contribute, but I don't expect you to hack a Chinese mainframe. |
