Job Title: Cyber Hunt Analyst III

Location: Springfield, VA

Clearance Level: Top Secret / SCI Required to Start

The Cyber Threat Hunt Analyst III is an experienced cybersecurity professional responsible for the following:

Proactively identifying, investigating, and analyzing sophisticated cyber threats across enterprise networks, endpoints, cloud environments, and information systems.

The analyst independently conducts hypothesis-driven threat hunts, analyzes complex security telemetry, identifies adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and develops actionable intelligence to improve organizational detection and response capabilities.

The analyst applies advanced knowledge of threat actor behavior, digital forensics, network security, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and security information and event management (SIEM) technologies to discover malicious activity that may evade automated security controls.

The analyst also supports complex incident response investigations and collaborates with threat hunters, security engineers, intelligence analysts, and Security Operations Center (SOC) personnel.

5–7 years of progressively responsible cybersecurity experience, including at least 2–3 years in threat hunting, incident response, security monitoring, digital forensics, or detection engineering.

This position requires independent technical judgment, proficiency in multiple threat hunting methodologies, and the ability to translate investigative findings into detection engineering improvements and actionable recommendations.
