Role: Cyber Simulation Content Developer and Trainer

Location: Brooklyn, NY 11201 need local 

Job Summary:

Hybrid: Work location & Remote (3 days in office/2 days remote)

Job Description Justification       

The Cyber Simulation Content Developer role is a mission-critical position supporting the City’s Agency Incident Response Readiness (AIRR) program, which delivers annual cyber simulation, tabletop, and hands-on training to approximately 70+ City agencies. These engagements rely on custom-developed Immersive Labs simulations, active training proctoring, and deep incident response subject-matter expertise to ensure exercises are realistic, consistent, and aligned with Citywide cyber incident response policies and standards.

Given the complexity of:

• Immersive Labs content development
• Agency-specific scenario tailoring
• Real-time exercise proctoring
• Alignment with Citywide incident response processes

This role must be filled immediately to allow the incoming candidate to:

• Shadow the current role holder during live Immersive Labs exercises
• Learn existing simulation architectures, logic, and design standards
• Understand agency-specific nuances across the 70 agencies
• Gain familiarity with Citywide incident response escalation, coordination, and notification expectations
• Participate in exercise proctoring under supervision before assuming independent responsibility

SCOPE OF SERVICES

TASKS:

• Apply incident response experience to develop realistic, operationally accurate cyber incident scenarios
• Translate real-world incidents, threat intelligence, and lessons learned into structured training simulations
• Align all simulations to the Citywide Cyber Incident Response lifecycle, including detection, triage, investigation, containment, remediation, and post-incident review
• Develop and maintain Immersive Labs simulation content, including:
• Scenario narratives and timelines
• Injects and decision points
• Supporting artifacts (e.g., logs, alerts, reports)
• Role-based challenges for technical staff, management, and executives
• Customize simulations for agency-specific environments while maintaining consistency with Citywide standards
• Proctor and oversee Immersive Labs training sessions, including:
• Managing scenario flow and inject timing
• Monitoring participant engagement and progress
• Providing guidance without disrupting learning objectives
• Support annual cyber training delivery across approximately 70 agencies
• Document exercise outcomes, participant challenges, and improvement areas to inform future content
• Participate in structured knowledge transfer and shadowing with the current role holder to ensure continuity during military deployment
• Assume independent responsibility for simulation development and training proctoring following the transition period
