About the role

Agile Defense in Ashburn, VA is seeking a Threat Hunt Lead to guide proactive cyber defense for federal mission programs. You will formulate hypotheses, test detections, and work with SOC and incident response to turn findings into actionable detections. Candidates should have active CBP BI or DoD clearance, strong MITRE ATT&CK experience, and proven ability to translate hunter findings into repeatable protections. This role offers a hybrid schedule and a signing bonus for eligible candidates.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
