Spy Cloud is on a mission to make the internet a safer place by disrupting the criminal underground. Spy Cloud's solutions thwart cyberattacks and protect more than 4 billion accounts worldwide. Cybersecurity is an exciting, evolving space, and being at the forefront of the fight to disrupt cybercrime makes Spy Cloud a special place to work. If you're driven to align your career with a fantastic mission, look no further!

Spy Cloud collects recaptured breach data, malware-exfiltrated credentials, session cookies, and commercially available information  Investigations team turns that data into investigative reports and analytical products -- attribution packages, infrastructure assessments, identity exposure reports, and analytical support for government and enterprise customers.

This is a customer-facing role supporting government and IC-aligned customers across a range of national security mission areas. The analyst will conduct original investigations, respond to requests for information, deliver training and capability demonstrations to cleared personnel, and develop AI-assisted analytical workflows using Spy Cloud's platform and tooling.

What You'll Do:

• Investigations
• Conduct all-source investigations using breach data, malware-exfiltrated logs, OSINT, and commercially available information to attribute threat actors, map adversary infrastructure, and assess identity and credential exposure.
• Respond to requests for information from government and program stakeholders, producing analytical reports and investigation packages on short timelines.
• Analyze infostealer log files to extract credential exposure, behavioral indicators, and infrastructure intelligence relevant to ongoing analytical requirements.
• Pivot across Spy Cloud data using the Investigations Portal, API, and Python-based notebooks to develop leads and close attribution gaps.
• AI-Assisted Analysis
• Integrate large language models and AI tooling into investigative workflows -- building prompts, synthesizing multi-source data, and validating outputs against primary evidence.
• Develop and document reusable analytical workflows, prompt libraries, and notebook-based processes that improve team throughput and consistency.
• Stay current on emerging AI capabilities relevant to OSINT, CAI analysis, and analytical production.
• Training and Customer Support
• Deliver product training and live capability demonstrations to cleared government personnel, tailoring content to the analytical mission and maturity of each audience.
• Build scenario-based training materials and leave-behind products drawn from real investigation findings.
• Support onboarding of new customers and users, helping them connect Spy Cloud capabilities to their specific analytical requirements.
• Reporting and Coordination
• Track RFI fulfillment, investigative outcomes, and analyst credit usage, reporting results to Spy Cloud leadership.
• Represent Spy Cloud at relevant community events, conferences, and working groups as needed.

Requirements:

• Education
• Bachelor's degree in intelligence studies, computer science, cybersecurity, international relations, criminal justice, or a related field -- or five or more years of equivalent professional experience in lieu of a degree.
• Clearance
• Active TS/SCI required.
• Preferred background:
  Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, or affiliate of the Intelligence Community.
• Experience
• Five or more years in an all-source, OSINT, or CAI analytical role within a government, defense, or IC-aligned environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting RFI pipelines and delivering analytical reports to operational or program stakeholders.
• Prior experience delivering training or capability demonstrations to cleared analytical audiences.
• Familiarity with adversary TTPs across one or more threat areas: cyber operations, foreign procurement, critical infrastructure, influence operations, or illicit finance.
• Technical Skills
• Proficient in OSINT collection and CAI analysis: domain research, identity resolution, infrastructure mapping, and entity attribution.
• Practical experience incorporating AI and large language models into analytical work, including prompt development and output validation.
• Comfortable working with REST APIs and scripted data queries;
  Python preferred.
• Familiarity with commercial investigative platforms and ability to adapt them to new data sources and mission requirements.
• Familiarity with adversary analysis frameworks -- including MITRE ATT&CK, the Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model -- as contextual tools for structuring and communicating investigation findings.
• Working knowledge of structured analytic techniques (SATs) for evaluating evidence, surfacing assumptions, and reducing analytical bias.
• Communication
• Writes clear, well-structured analytical reports: BLUF-first, properly sourced, readable by both analysts and senior leaders.
• Confident briefing cleared program managers, unit leadership, or senior…
