Are you a whiz on the old PC? Care to share that talent with the feds? The FBI might have a job for you.
The agency this week released a job posting for a "Special Agent (Cyber)" who will be investigating high-tech crimes, including "cyber-based terrorism, computer intrusions, online exploitation, and major cyber fraud schemes."
These agents will also track down people or groups involved in criminal activity abroad, locate and extract evidence on PCs or computer networks, work to stop attacks on critical infrastructure like banks, water, and food supply, help "dismantle national and transnational criminal organizations engaged in online fraud and other cyber crimes," and more.
The FBI will accept applications until Jan. 20, but in order to be considered, you must be a U.S. citizen between the ages of 23 and 37, and you'll need to pass at least one of the FBI's physical fitness tests.
"What we want are people who are going to come and be part of a team that is working different very complex types of investigations and to utilize their skillsets in that team environment," Robert Anderson, Jr., executive assistant director for the Bureau's Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, said in a statement.
Ideally, agents will have expertise in computer programming and security, database administration, malware analysis, digital forensics, or ethical hacking, according to the FBI, which also posted an exhaustive list of preferred degrees and work experience.
The post comes after the FBI was called in to investigate the hack of Sony Pictures. The agency ultimately concluded that North Korea was responsible for the intrusion, though some have their doubts.
