Your responsibilities will include:

• Analyzing large-scale network telemetry, including NetFlow and related flow-based data, to identify malicious infrastructure, command-and-control activity, scanning behavior, and adversary tradecraft.
• Researching and tracking threat actor infrastructure across IP space, autonomous systems, hosting providers, and geographic regions relevant to government and national security stakeholders.
• Producing clear, well-sourced intelligence reports and assessments in response to government customer requests for information and priority intelligence requirements.
• Independently carrying out defined research assignments, developing analytical approaches, and delivering findings within agreed scope and timelines.

• Providing specialized network intelligence expertise in internal reviews and briefings, including constructive feedback on colleagues' analysis.
• Participating in external engagements, including presenting intelligence findings and responding to analytical questions from government customers, partners, and intelligence community audiences.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Demonstrated ability to independently investigate analytical questions and produce clear, well-sourced intelligence assessments for decision-makers.
• Experience applying the intelligence cycle, structured analytical techniques, and analytic writing methodologies.
• Proficiency with open-source intelligence tools and data sources relevant to network and infrastructure analysis.
• Ability to explain technical findings, analytical judgments, and limitations to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to manage assigned work against agreed priorities and deadlines, incorporate feedback, and collaborate effectively within a globally distributed research team.

Additional qualifications that would be beneficial include:

• Background in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Security, or a related discipline.
• Familiarity with threats to critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, telecommunications, transportation, or government services.
• Knowledge of state-sponsored cyber activity and advanced persistent threat ecosystems.
• Experience supporting government, defense, law enforcement, or intelligence community customers.
• Experience briefing government stakeholders or contributing analysis to intelligence products developed with partner organizations.
