D2 Technical Services is committed to a merit-based recruitment process and encourages applications from all qualified individuals. As a Veteran-Owned Small Business, we particularly welcome applications from veterans who have the requisite skills and experience. Job applicants that are interested in one of our openings and may require a reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, should contact us to request an accommodation. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO guidelines, confidentiality, accommodation statements, Veteran-Owned Small Business statement? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove lines about EEO, confidentiality, accommodation, Veteran-Owned Small Business? The Veteran-Owned statement might be considered promotional but not boilerplate? It's not EEO but still maybe considered promotional; but we can keep if it's substantive? It's more about company policy; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it as it's not directly about the job. Also remove "All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines." Remove that sentence. Remove accommodation request line. Remove Veteran-Owned Small Business line. We need to keep compensation and benefits info: "Compensation is unique to each candidate ... The salary range for this position is typically $90-95k." That's pay info. Also "Highlights of our benefits include Health/Dental/Vision, 401(k) match, Accrued PTO, STD/LTD/Life Insurance, Referral Bonuses, professional development reimbursement, and more!" That's benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (must-haves), Qualifications (maybe nice-to-have?), Skills (technical skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has real specific content. We have a lot of responsibilities described. We can put them under Responsibilities as a

• . We have "You'll Bring These Qualifications:" which includes must-haves: US Citizen with Active TS/SCI, CI Poly within 6 months, University Degree or equivalent experience, minimum 4 years related work experience, certification compliant with DoD 8140.01 and DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II and CSSP Analyst Certification, Ability to work 1 of 5 work shifts. Also technical skills: TCP/IP, Protocol analyzers, network protocols, Cyber Attack Lifecycle, Mitre Attack framework, Obfuscation techniques, Utilizing SIEM for event analysis. Those could go under Skills. Nice-to-have: IAT Level III, 5+ years related CSOC tier 2 or 3 work experience. Could go under Qualifications (or maybe "Preferred Qualifications"). We need to decide section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have schedule info: Ability to work 1 of 5 work shifts (maybe shift work). That's schedule. So we can put that under Schedule. We have pay info: salary range $90-95k. We have benefits info. We have requirements: Must be US Citizen with Active TS/SCI, need CI Poly within 6 months, University Degree or equivalent experience, minimum 4 years related work experience, certification compliant with DoD 8140.01 and DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II and CSSP Analyst Certification. Those are requirements. We have qualifications (nice-to-have): IAT Level III, 5+ years related CSOC tier 2 or 3 work experience. We have skills: TCP/IP, Protocol analyzers, network protocols, Cyber Attack Lifecycle, Mitre Attack framework, Obfuscation techniques, Utilizing SIEM for event analysis. Also maybe malware analysis, forensic artifact handling, etc. But those are covered in responsibilities. We'll list technical skills. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Also we need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities list includes many items; we should capture them as bullet points. We must not include duplicated lines. The posting has repeated sentences like "Malware and implant analysis, and forensic artifact handling and analysis." appears multiple times. We should deduplicate. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each distinct responsibility, but we can combine similar ones? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can combine if they are same? Might be risky. Safer to keep each distinct bullet as appears, but we can deduplicate identical sentences. The repeated sentence appears multiple times; we can keep one instance. Let's extract distinct responsibilities: From the text: - Provide CSOC Tier 2 services, which is 24x7x365 coordination, execution, and implementation of all actions required for the containment, eradication, and recovery measures for events and incidents. - CSOC Tier 2 services includes malware and implant analysis, and forensic artifact handling and analysis. - While not in a period of incident response, you will conduct continuous exercises and dry runs to improve response outcomes in the event of a cyber-incident. - Coordinate and implement tasks, performing analysis, and building/documenting response activities required during cyber security incident response, to include but not limited to actions such as implementing containment measures, IP blocks, domain blocks, and disabling user accounts on direction of the Government. - Coordinate with Security and Installations Directorate (SI) Office of Counterintelligence (SIC), Insider Threat Office (SIII), in addition to other law enforcement and counterintelligence personnel as required to perform advanced investigation and triage of incidents. - Collaborate with appropriate authorities in the production of security incident reports. - Categorize incidents and events. - Coordinate with other contracts, organizations, activities, and other services as appropriate to ensure incidents are properly reported, contained, and eradicated. - Coordinate with
