Staff Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. The Staff Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst will lead complex cyber threat investigations, establish analytical standards, and convert investigative tradecraft into scalable tools and workflows. The role also supports partners with high-confidence intelligence products and briefings while mentoring analysts and collaborating with engineering and data science.

Responsibilities:

• Run high-complexity investigations end-to-end, from a single seed indicator — a domain, IP, hash, alias, or wallet — through to an attributed actor, cluster, or campaign picture
• Identify new CTI collection opportunities and rapidly leverage the intelligence to get ahead of cyber threats
• Build the network picture around cyber threat actors: C2 infrastructure, malware families, TTPs, and the people operating them
• Fuse technical indicators with OSINT and identity work, and follow findings into financial rails where the investigation goes there
• Set the analytical standard: raise the bar on rigor and confidence judgments across the team, and coach other analysts through exemplary tradecraft rather than process
• Partner directly with engineering and data science to turn investigative tradecraft into scalable capability — tooling and workflows the whole team benefits from, not one-off analysis
• Support incident responders, threat hunters, investigators, leadership, and external partners with timely, high-confidence intelligence products and briefings, especially where judgment, prioritization, and ambiguity are unusually high

Requirements:

• 8+ years in cyber threat intelligence, intelligence analysis, incident-driven investigations, or closely related analytical work
• AI fluency is required — you build your own tools and agentic workflows with AI tools like Claude to automate and scale investigative work, and you apply real human quality control to validate what they produce
• A track record of raising the quality of work beyond your own cases — shaping standards, improving workflows, and helping other analysts do better work
• Direct experience partnering with engineering, data science, or product to make an investigative method repeatable at scale
• Strong ability to combine direct collection and OSINT to deliver unique intelligence — resolving identities, aliases, and behavior across fragmented sources
• Experience producing finished intelligence, such as actor profiles, campaign reporting, attribution assessments, infrastructure mapping. Detection rules and threat feeds are a different discipline
• Judgment strong enough to guide others on evidentiary standards, not just apply them yourself
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can package a finding for a technical analyst and for a non-technical partner
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly and ambiguity is normal
• Working proficiency in Russian, Chinese, or another language heavily used by cyber actors — particularly if you've used it operationally, in forums or persona work, rather than academically
• A public presence: conference talks, published research, invite-only sharing circles
• Hands-on crypto or blockchain tracing, and the ability to connect technical findings to financial infrastructure, including wallets, laundering paths, sanctions exposure, or identity-linked leads when relevant to the investigation
