Security Researcher – OPSEC Lead

I’m recruiting an OPSEC Lead for a company seeking to build and own the operational security of its production environment.

This hands-on role combines independent research, infrastructure exposure analysis, and the implementation of policies, procedures, and technical safeguards.

What you’ll do

• Own OPSEC priorities, policies, and procedures.
• Research how infrastructure can be discovered, fingerprinted, and linked across external data sources.
• Evaluate investigative tools and analyze published investigations to understand exposure techniques and operational mistakes.
• Identify exposure risks before infrastructure and operational changes.
• Develop research tools and automated monitoring to track exposure and validate safeguards.
• Partner with engineering and operations to implement protections and respond to OPSEC incidents.

What you need

• 4+ years of hands-on technical experience within intelligence or cybersecurity organizations.
• Proven ability to investigate unfamiliar technical problems and draw evidence-based conclusions.
• Strong Linux and networking knowledge, including communication protocols and traffic analysis.
• Proficiency in Python and Bash for research, experimentation, and automation.
• Adversarial thinking, sound operational judgment, and the ability to prioritize risks and drive implementation.

Advantage

Experience in infrastructure investigations, threat intelligence, red teaming, or building monitoring systems.
