Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Cyber Threat Response Advisor - **Company:** TRM Labs - **Location:** United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $140,000.0 - $168,000.0 - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Aliasing, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Open Source Intelligence, Blockchain, Cyber Threat Analysis, Cybercrime - **Published:** October 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=02a655566a4d0931 ## About the Role * 5+ years in cyber threat intelligence, incident response, or a closely related analytical field, including experience as the primary point of contact for an outside organization during a live incident or remediation. * A track record of driving complex analysis independently - taking a body of fragmented information and driving it to a real, actionable outcome, not just writing a report about it. * You are comfortable working to someone else's clock. You have delivered real answers under RFI-style pressure - a partner needing something in hours or days, not on a self-paced research timeline - and can point to examples. * Applied AI fluency is required. We expect you to already be building AI-assisted or agentic workflows in your daily analytical work, to be able to show how you validate their outputs and where they fail, and to treat AI as a force multiplier for remediation at scale rather. AI tools should be a meaningful part of your research, synthesis, and workflow acceleration toolkit, with strong human quality control over the resulting output. * Real collection capability, whether that's hands-on experience building or adapting tools to pull signal from open web, social, and forum sources, external attack-surface and exposure discovery, or direct threat-actor collection. Real strength in one is enough; some of both is ideal. * Demonstrated experience producing finished intelligence such as actor profiles, campaign reporting, attribution assessments, exposure notifications, or infrastructure mapping. * Strong OSINT instincts and the ability to resolve identities, aliases, infrastructure, and behavior across fragmented sources. * Excellent judgment about analytical confidence and evidentiary strength - what can and cannot be defended in a report, a referral, or an operational setting. * Excellent written and verbal communication - you can package a finding for a technical analyst and for a non-technical partner alike. * Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly and ambiguity is normal. * Travel: Up to 50%, within the United States. You will regularly be onsite with critical-infrastructure operators, government partners, and ISACs. * Must be based in the United States. U.S. citizenship is required., * Direct familiarity with one or more critical-infrastructure sectors and their operating environments (e.g., ICS/OT/SCADA, healthcare, energy, or financial-sector security). * Experience working with or delivering intelligence to government partners, ISACs, or sector coordinating bodies. * Working proficiency in a language heavily used by cyber actors, particularly if used operationally rather than academically. * A public presence: conference talks, published research, or invite-only sharing circles., * Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate * Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity * A high level of personal ownership and accountability * Close collaboration across teams and functions * Frequent, high-touch communication * Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking * A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment. We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here. At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

The organizations most important to protect are often the ones with the least visibility into their own exposure., * Drive end-to-end remediation for your sectors. Analyze critical-infrastructure sectors to identify the organizations most important to protect, and surface the vulnerabilities and exposures affecting them - from a first signal through to an actionable notification a defender can use. * Run cyber threat collection. Combine OSINT, external attack-surface and exposure discovery, and direct threat-actor collection to find and validate exposures - and the actors positioned to exploit them - across fragmented sources. * Build with AI, not just use it. Leverage AI to build the tools and workflows necessary to achieve your mission with speed and scale, ensuring human quality control over every output. Feed what works back into TRM's tooling and methods so defense and remediation against cyber threats scale beyond your own caseload. * Build the network picture around cyber threats. Map C2 infrastructure, malware families, TTPs, and the actors operating them, so a finding reflects how a threat against a sector actually operates rather than a catalogue of isolated indicators. * Triage at scale. Work through large indicator and exposure sets, cluster infrastructure, and turn fragmented signals into clear, defensible findings that stakeholders can act on immediately. * Produce finished intelligence. Deliver exposure notifications, actor and campaign profiles, IOC packages, and infrastructure attributions that hold up when tested by a critical-infrastructure defender, a government partner, or an ISAC. * Act as a senior advisor across multiple active threats at once, helping improve quality, share tradecraft, and informally support other analysts through strong analytical execution. * Partner across the ecosystem. Work directly with critical-infrastructure entities, government partners, ISACs, engineers, and internal teams on the specific exposures, actors, and referrals in front of you., * TRM's Cybercrime team sits within the Primary Intelligence organization, alongside the other threat categories, and combines expert tradecraft and boundary-pushing innovation with deep analytical workflows across cyber, OSINT, and blockchain-enabled threat activity. * Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment. * High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy - you work directly with analysts, engineers, and the partners and customers who depend on your output. Team Operating Rhythms * Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities. * Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight. * Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central. * All output documented in Notion and TRM's investigative tools. * Surge availability. There is no formal on-call rotation. During active disruption windows, typically when a partner needs an answer in hours rather than days, the team flexes hours to meet the moment., We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They're the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions. * Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment - test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly. * Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end-to-end, and invest in getting better everyday. * Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one-team mindset - giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger., By submitting your application, you agree to allow TRM Labs to process your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
