Summary: The Threat Intelligence Analyst role focuses on collaborating with AI research labs to enhance AI systems' understanding of cybersecurity threats. The position requires expertise in threat intelligence to analyze adversary behavior and validate data for AI training. This opportunity allows professionals to contribute to the development of next-generation security tools while working remotely. Candidates will engage in independent, task-based assignments that leverage their knowledge of threat intelligence beyond traditional SOC environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze and classify real-world threat reports, adversary campaigns, and attacker behavior.
- Evaluate indicators of compromise (IOCs), TTPs, and end-to-end attack narratives for accuracy and realism.
- Generate, structure, and validate threat intelligence data used to train and assess AI systems.
- Review AI-generated cybersecurity outputs and flag inaccuracies, hallucinations, or unrealistic scenarios.
- Apply knowledge of attacker tradecraft to distinguish authentic threat behavior from noise or fabricated data.
- Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments.
Key Skills:
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in threat intelligence, SOC analysis, or security research.
- Solid familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, OSINT collection methodologies, or CTI workflows.
- Able to critically evaluate attacker behavior and identify what's realistic versus what's not.
- Strong analytical thinking and structured written communication skills.
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently on remote, task-based projects.
- Experience writing or editing threat intelligence reports or advisories (nice to have).
- Background in malware analysis, incident response, or red teaming (nice to have).
- Familiarity with AI or data labeling workflows (nice to have).
- Certifications such as GCTI, GCIA, CEH, or equivalent (nice to have).
