What is a Disinformation job?

A Disinformation job typically involves monitoring, analyzing, and countering false or misleading information spread online or through media channels. Professionals in this field work in government, tech companies, think tanks, or journalism to identify disinformation campaigns, assess their impact, and develop strategies to mitigate their effects. Their responsibilities may include fact-checking, researching misinformation networks, and collaborating with policymakers or social media platforms to combat the spread of deceptive content.

To thrive in a Disinformation Analyst role, candidates typically need expertise in media analysis, critical thinking, data analytics, and a background in communications, journalism, or a related field. Familiarity with digital forensics tools, social media monitoring platforms, and certification in cybersecurity or OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) methodologies is often advantageous. Strong research skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex findings clearly set top performers apart. These skills are vital to accurately identifying, analyzing, and reporting on misleading information in digital media and helping organizations mitigate reputational and operational risks.

What are the main challenges faced by professionals working in disinformation analysis roles?

One of the primary challenges in disinformation analysis roles is staying ahead of rapidly evolving tactics used to spread false information across digital platforms. Professionals must contend with high volumes of information and the need to quickly discern credible sources from deceptive ones. Working in this field often requires close collaboration with other analysts, IT security teams, and sometimes legal or communications departments to ensure a coordinated response. Building expertise in emerging technologies and maintaining professional resilience under fast-paced conditions can help analysts succeed and advance in their careers.

The Applied Scientist II (Audio) Role.

We are seeking an Applied Scientist II to build, tune, and deploy state-of-the-art audio deepfake detection models in real-world client environments.

You will be responsible primarily for model tuning and deployment, ensuring robustness, reliability, and performance under diverse real-world test conditions — including adversarial and edge-case scenarios. The role requires deep hands-on expertise in model building, training, and benchmarking.

What you’ll do

  • Tune and optimize ML/DL models for production-scale audio deepfake detection.

  • Investigate failure cases in the client environment, build custom evaluation frameworks, and implement mitigation strategies for model robustness.

  • Present technical findings and model performance insights to internal stakeholders.

  • Interface with Product and Engineering teams to build a deep understanding of the production environment and incorporate relevant evaluations for performance assessment.

Who you are.

  • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Signal Processing, or related field.

  • Fresh PhD graduate, or Masters with 3+ years of industry experience building and deploying ML/DL models for AI products.

  • Strong programming skills in Python and model ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX).

  • Solid understanding of audio processing fundamentals, classification and detection metrics (ROC, DET curves, precision/recall trade-offs), model robustness and evaluation.

  • Experience with large-scale training and benchmarking pipelines, either in an academic or an industry research role.

What we offer.

Reality Defender offers the following benefits to all our employees, regardless of location:

  • Healthcare plans with 100% premium coverage for employees and partial coverage available for dependents
