Overview:About IQT and The Cyber Practice:In-Q-Tel is the
not-for-profit organization created to bridge the gap between the
technology needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and
emerging commercial innovation. We invest in early-stage
venture-backed startups developing technologies that provide
ready-soon innovation vital to the IC mission. Our team is proud to
take a influential role in shaping the technology landscape and
product trajectory of several notable companies forging a
partnership in making a significant impact on both our Partner and
commercial communities. Among our publicly disclosed investments
are ArcSight, FireEye, Cylance, Phantom Cyber, Anomali, Reversing
Labs, Tenable, Veracode and Sonatype. Does this describe you?:You
are someone who isn't afraid to live at the edge of technology
innovation and wants to play a pivotal role in shaping the future.
You are someone who brings technical depth but mixes that deftly
with the ability to create and execute on a vision for the future,
inspiring customers, companies, and other venture capital investors
along for the journey. You have an opinion, but also listen deeply.
You want to be the kind of person that people want to know, and
they will always want to hear what you have to say. You have a
knack for understanding the market segmentation across technology
startup landscape, you absorb knowledge quickly, and you build
well-formed perspectives based on your foundational knowledge of
technology trends, customer needs, and the art of the possible. You
aren't afraid to take a risk, but you also care about making the
right choices. If you think you have these skills, and this job

will be joining IQT's team of in-house subject matter experts
responsible for aligning emergent technologies against critical
mission needs, rigorously validating technical claims, and
providing the thought-leadership necessary to drive technological
change. You will maintain a pulse on the cyber community, tracking
emerging trends and how they may impact the commercial landscape.
You will be a trusted advisor to early-stage venture-backed
companies still within their formative years helping to shape their
commercial trajectory. You will be an unbiased technology advocate
framing creative solutions mapped to the complex and unique
impediments facing our Partners. You will be in a position of
immense privilege with unequalled access to brightest minds within
the innovative startup community providing critical advisory
services to senior U.S. Government leadership shaping the future of
technology and its impact on the Intelligence Community and the
World. You won't always be the expert however your ability to
absorb new concepts and questioning the status quo will be valued
above all else. The Practice you will joining:We are a growing team
of self-motivated security practitioners working within a critical
domain encumbered by misunderstanding, misrepresentation, and an
abundance of technically nuanced solutions with no shortage of the
technical equivalent of 'snake-oil'. Understanding and articulating
the delta between the practical and impractical that productively
moves the needle for our Partners is a much needed skill. Vetting
technology solutions in this Practice often means rolling up your
sleeves, dropping prototype technology into OpenStack, and throwing
modern attacks at or in front of the capability. We are each
one-part practitioner, one-part prognosticator, and one-part
integrator/developer entrenched with a healthy skepticism and
cautious optimism for technology. We are seeking individuals with
