About the Role

At Digital Hands, we deliver cybersecurity services that protect customer environments and drive measurable security outcomes. We're seeking a Threat Hunter to strengthen our Security Operations Center (SOC) through proactive, intelligencedriven threat detection.

In this role, you'll focus on hypothesisdriven threat hunting across customer environments-identifying threats that evade automated detection, validating complex escalations, and translating findings into scalable detection capabilities. You'll work closely with Threat Intelligence and Detection Engineering to continuously improve our defensive posture.

This is a midlevel individual contributor role with a clear path toward ownership of the threat hunting program.

 About You
  • You're analytical, curious, and proactive, with a passion for identifying advanced threats
  • You're comfortable working across endpoint, identity, network, and SIEM telemetry
  • You have strong investigative judgment and can distinguish real threats from noise
  • You collaborate effectively across Intelligence, Engineering, and SOC teams
  • You communicate clearly and can document findings for both technical and nontechnical audiences
What You'll Do
  • Conduct Threat Hunting
    Perform hypothesisdriven hunts across customer environments, prioritized by threat intelligence and detection gaps
  • Operationalize Detection Improvements
    Translate hunt findings into durable detection content in partnership with detection engineering
  • Investigate Advanced Threats
    Analyze and validate escalations requiring human judgment and support incident response as needed
  • Integrate Threat Intelligence
    Execute hunts aligned with intelligencedriven hypotheses and feed insights back into intelligence and detection workflows
  • Support Program Maturity
    Contribute to threat hunting methodology, cadence, metrics, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Document & Report Findings
    Produce clear, repeatable documentation to support internal reporting and customer visibility
What You Bring
  • Experience & Education
    Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field
    3+ years of experience in a SOC, detection, or threat hunting role with handson hunting experience
    MSSP or multitenant experience preferred
  • Technical Expertise
    Strong knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and adversary tradecraft
    Experience analyzing threats, exploits, and attacker behavior
    Proficiency with query and scripting languages (e.g., KQL, YARAL, Python)
    Comfort working across endpoint, network, identity, and SIEM data
  • Skills & Attributes
    Strong analytical and investigative skills
    Effective communication and collaboration across teams
    Exposure to incident response practices preferred
    Relevant certifications (e.g., GCFA, GCTI, GNFA) preferred
