Job Description Justification:

The Cyber Simulation Content Developer role is a mission-critical position supporting the Citys 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

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 point

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
