Staff Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst

As a Staff Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, you will conduct high-complexity investigations, support time-sensitive blockchain analysis for our partners, and shape investigative methods, workflows, and analytical capabilities that allow TRM to scale rapidly and effectively.

You will collaborate with blockchain intelligence experts, engineers, and data scientists to raise the quality, repeatability, and operational relevance of TRM’s cyber threat intelligence capabilities.

The impact you will have:

• Produce finished cyber threat intelligence, including actor profiles, campaign reports, IOC packages, infrastructure attributions, and evidence-ready analytical outputs.
• Act as a staff-level analytical leader across multiple active actors and campaigns at once, raising quality, shaping standards, and coaching other analysts through exemplary tradecraft and judgment.
• Drive the highest-complexity investigations from seed indicators such as domains, IPs, hashes, aliases, or wallets through to attributed actors, clusters, or campaign pictures, and codify the methods others can reuse.
• Correlate technical indicators with OSINT, identity signals, infrastructure patterns, and financial-rail activity to build a fuller understanding of adversary behavior.
• Triage large indicator sets, cluster infrastructure, and turn fragmented signals into clear, defensible findings while improving the repeatability and rigor of how this work is done across the team.
• 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.
• Evaluate and operationalize new analytical tooling by pressure-testing it on real workflows and identifying where it meaningfully reduces analyst effort, improves quality, or creates reusable leverage across investigations.
• Drive better investigation workflows, analytic standards, and repeatable methods that increase analyst throughput without sacrificing rigor.
• Partner across intelligence, engineering, and data science to translate investigative tradecraft into scalable analytical capabilities and product-informed improvements., * TRM’s intelligence and investigations work combines national-security-grade tradecraft with deep analytical workflows across cyber, OSINT, and blockchain-enabled threat activity.
• This role sits at the intersection of intelligence production, investigations, and product-informed tradecraft, helping ensure TRM’s analytical capabilities remain operationally relevant, scalable, and high-quality across multiple use cases and stakeholders.
• Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment
• High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy - work directly with analysts, engineers, 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
