Full 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.
