# Senior Threat Intelligence Researcher - Company: [Aegis Ai]() - Location: New York City · San Francisco - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: October 2, 2025 ## Job description **Overview** We’re a team of ex-Google engineers who built some of the largest defensive platforms on the planet — Safe Browsing and reCAPTCHA. Now, we’re striking out on our own to tackle an even bigger challenge: stopping the new wave of adversarial AI attacks already hitting organizations today. We're going after a $5B+ market, ripe for disruption. Traditional detection methods are too slow to keep up. Adversaries are using AI to craft customized, high-evasion attacks — and old-school rules-based systems don’t stand a chance. **The Role** We are seeking a **Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst** to join our growing team. This role blends **hands-on investigation** of phishing, BEC, and malware campaigns with **research and thought leadership** that advances the broader cybersecurity community. You will lead investigations into real-world email threats, contribute directly to detection improvements, and publish high-quality analysis (blogs, whitepapers, presentations) to establish AegisAI as a leader in the space. This is a **high-impact, customer-facing and industry-facing role** where your research will shape our product roadmap and thought leadership strategy. **This role goes beyond triaging alerts:** * You’ll **investigate and reverse-engineer** real-world email attacks. * **Identify patterns and trends** in attacker behavior and translate those insights into improvements for our detection systems. * **Collaborate with engineering** to shape how our AI models adapt to emerging threats. * **Produce written reports** and analysis that we can share publicly, helping raise the bar for email security as an industry. ## **What You'll Do** * **Investigate Campaigns:** Analyze phishing, BEC, and malware-based campaigns to uncover attacker infrastructure, TTPs, and trends. * **Detection Improvement:** Collaborate with engineering and data science teams to feed intelligence into our AI detection models and automation workflows. * **Malware & Artifact Analysis:** Perform static and dynamic analysis of malicious files, links, and payloads using sandbox and forensic tools. * **Customer & Partner Engagement:** Provide actionable threat insights to customers and support investigations with clear, executive-ready reporting. * **Threat Intelligence Publications:** Write blogs, advisories, and industry-facing research reports that highlight emerging threats and novel findings. * **Community Engagement:** Represent AegisAI at conferences, webinars, and industry events to share insights and build credibility. * **Playbooks & Knowledge Sharing:** Document attack patterns, build runbooks, and share learnings with internal teams and the wider security community. **Who You Are** * **7+ years of cybersecurity experience**, with at least **3–4 years focused on threat intelligence and investigations**. * Hands-on experience in **email security investigations** (phishing, BEC, spam campaigns). * Strong knowledge of **malware analysis tools and methodologies** (sandboxing, static/dynamic analysis, reverse engineering basics). * Track record of **published threat research** (blogs, papers, advisories, or conference presentations). * Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to **translate technical findings into impactful narratives** for both executives and security professionals. * Familiarity with frameworks such as **MITRE ATT&CK**, and threat intel platforms like MISP or Recorded Future. **Bonus** * Prior public presentations at **security conferences** (SANS, FS-ISAC, Black Hat, mWISE, etc.). * Experience engaging with **journalists or industry analysts** on emerging threats. **Our culture** * Flat, flexible, and fast. * You’ll own your decisions. * You’ll have clear KPIs for success — but how you get there is up to you. * Development cycles are measured in days, not weeks. * If you’re hungry to build AI that fights AI, and want to work with a team that moves at the speed of the real world, come talk to us. ## Apply [Apply on Aegis Ai]() Canonical job page:
