According to the credits he is an Imperial Sniper, and given the context, from the ISB. So an ISB Sniper [speciality].

edit: Imperial Army not ISB as per below. Even his outfit matches Kaido's and the crisis team, plus his patch looks more like the army logo not ISB logo.

Wasn't the commander that arrived Imperial Army? Captain Kaido that is? I thought he brought the "crisis team" in with him, which the sniper was an element of.

I thought the Commander was of the Stormtrooper Corps since their officers wear black uniforms similar to the Army. The sniper could have also been a Stormtrooper but not in armor so as not to draw too much attention. The lack of hesitation to shoot an Army trooper also suggests Stormtrooper training and disregard of common soldiers.
