• Provide operational support (KTLO), including troubleshooting forensic tools and supporting investigators
• Ensure solutions align with Chevron enterprise security, compliance, and data handling standards
• Integrate and support forensic tools, eDiscovery platforms, and case management systems
• Collaborate within a DevOps team to improve reliability, scalability, and automation of forensic capabilities
• Work cross-functionally with cloud, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of professional experience, including:
  • 5+ years in a digital forensic examiner or investigative role
  • 5+ years in a development role (automation, scripting, or software engineering)
• Experience with forensic tools such as Nuix, Magnet Forensics, Microsoft Purview, or similar
• Strong scripting and automation experience (PowerShell required)
• Experience with .NET framework and/or C# development
• Strong understanding of digital forensic processes and investigative workflows
• Solid knowledge of Windows operating systems and enterprise desktop environments
• Understanding of enterprise IT infrastructure and system integrations
• Experience with databases (e.g., SQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, or similar)
• Ability to work independently and within a collaborative team environment
• Strong communication and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience developing automation for forensic or investigative workflows
• Familiarity with case management systems
• Experience with enterprise device management tools (e.g., Intune)
• Exposure to cloud environments and enterprise architectures
• Experience working in DevOps / Agile / SAFe environments (e.g., Azure DevOps)
• Understanding of enterprise networking and security concepts
