About the role
- The Scam Disruption team is TRM's tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year.
- Start from one indicator - a scam domain, IP, or certificate - and pivot across shared certificates, registrars, nameservers, hosting, and ASNs to map the wider infrastructure behind Southeast Asia scam operations, clustering one-off indicators into campaigns.
- Track campaigns as they evolve - new domains, hosting and registrar changes, certificate reuse - and stay on actors as they rebuild and re-register after takedowns and seizures, anticipating their next infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- BUILD A SAFER WORLD.
- TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks.
- You'll track scam infrastructure as it evolves, fusing technical, open-source, and on-chain data to build the operational pictures that help dismantle scam operations.
- Drive attribution of threat actors by leveraging open-source and commercially available data.
- Build clustering logic, detection rules, and automation or tooling to surface malicious infrastructure proactively, rather than waiting on off-the-shelf feeds.
- Own the intelligence cycle end to end with minimal supervision, partnering with the Scams SME team and with data, engineering, and product to sharpen TRM's collection capabilities.
- We seek people whose work matters, who build with speed and rigor, and who take pride in protecting others through their craft.
- Build to protect civilization.
- We are building a safer world.
- This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined.
Requirements
- 5+ years of proven experience in cyber threat intelligence or threat infrastructure analysis roles (this is not an entry-level position).
- A track record of staying on an actor or campaign over time, including through takedowns and re-registration.
- Demonstrated ability to produce actionable intelligence or targeting packages for a government, law-enforcement, or equivalent consumer who acted on them, and calibrated, defensible analytic judgment.
- Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-person collaboration and travel may be required)
- Operating with a high degree of ambiguity
Nice to have
