We are seeking an experienced Senior Threat Hunt Analyst with advanced Digital Forensics capabilities to support the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The ideal candidate is a highly skilled cybersecurity professional with deep expertise in proactive threat hunting, advanced digital forensics investigation, and incident response within complex federal IT environments.

The Senior Threat Hunt Analyst will serve as a highly experienced cybersecurity professional responsible for designing and leading proactive threat hunting programs and conducting advanced digital forensics investigations in support of SBA's cybersecurity mission. This individual will bring deep technical expertise in adversary TTPs, forensic analysis, and malware reverse engineering to proactively identify hidden threats, support complex incident investigations, and continuously strengthen SBA's defensive capabilities.

• Design, develop, and lead proactive threat hunting programs and targeted hunting campaigns across SBA's enterprise IT environment, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures, leveraging advanced analytical techniques, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence to identify hidden adversaries, undetected malicious activity, and emerging threats before they impact SBA operations.
• Apply expert‑level knowledge of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to develop, prioritize, and execute hypothesis‑driven threat hunts targeting high‑priority adversary behaviors, attack patterns, and threat vectors relevant to SBA's mission and threat landscape.
• Conduct advanced digital forensics investigations in response to cybersecurity incidents and threat hunt findings, including the forensically sound acquisition, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence from endpoints, servers, network devices, cloud environments, and mobile platforms, in strict accordance with federal forensic standards and chain of custody requirements.
• Perform advanced malware analysis, including both static analysis techniques (disassembly, decompilation, string analysis, import analysis) and dynamic analysis techniques (behavioral sandbox analysis, API monitoring, network traffic analysis), to fully characterize the capabilities, behaviors, persistence mechanisms, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with malicious code identified within SBA's environment.
• Conduct in‑depth analysis of network traffic captures, memory artifacts, disk images, log data, and endpoint telemetry to reconstruct detailed attack timelines, identify root causes, characterize adversary TTPs, and determine the full scope and impact of security incidents and threat hunt findings.
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive library of threat hunting hypotheses, hunt playbooks, and forensic investigation procedures, ensuring they remain current with the evolving threat landscape, emerging adversary TTPs, and changes to SBA's operational IT environment.
• Produce detailed, high‑quality forensic examination reports, threat hunt reports, and after‑action reviews (AARs) documenting investigation methodologies, findings, evidence analysis,…
