Job Description

The mission of the OFR is to support the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) in promoting financial stability by: collecting data on behalf of FSOC; providing such data to FSOC and member agencies; standardizing the types and formats of data reported and collected; performing applied research and essential long-term research; developing tools for risk measurement and monitoring; performing other related services; making the results of the activities of the OFR available to financial regulatory agencies; and assisting such member agencies in determining the types of formats of data authorized to be collected by such member agencies.

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for supporting OFR's Security Operations (SecOps) and Architecture team. This position will provide hands-on expertise in support of SecOps including monitoring, reporting, threat intelligence, threat hunting and incident response.

As part of a growing team this role will have the ability to leverage and work with new capabilities as they are deployed including deception infrastructure, continuous penetration testing, data loss prevention (DLP), and machine learning capabilities. This role is expected to contribute to maturing the overall IR and security capability through experience and recommendations at every level of security.
