  • Strong data exploration skills, with practical experience using SQL to analyze large-scale security datasets
  • Experience using AI tools, AI coding assistants, and agentic workflows for research, automation, and data analysis
  • Ability to build scripts, internal tools, or agentic systems to support threat research and intelligence workflows

Nice to have

Worth weighing

  • The role requires international travel at least six times per year, which may impact work-life balance.
