Note: Investigations may involve exposure to harmful or disturbing content, including malicious code, exploit development, and content designed to facilitate cyberattacks.

In This Role, You Will

• Foundational knowledge of cyber threat concepts, including one or more of the following: scaled data extraction, ransomware, local and remote exploits, or offensive security operations
• Familiarity with LLM systems and how AI technology can be misused for cyber operations
• Ability to assess the real-world harm potential of technical content, distinguishing offensive uplift from benign or educational security research
• Strong SQL and Python proficiency for querying data and supporting investigations
• Ability to rapidly context-switch across domains, modalities, and abuse areas in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Ability to clear an insider-threat background check
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with threat intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
• Background in dark web monitoring, OSINT, or cross-platform threat analysis
• Full professional proficiency in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security , CEH, or OSCP
