Job description

About the role:

Please note: this is a one-year position, with the potential for extension.

10a Labs' Investigations Team is looking for a Cyber Investigator to support high-volume exchange labeling and investigations across a range of cyber abuse areas. This role requires a solid foundation in cybersecurity and a keen ability to assess whether technical content poses real-world harm.

Investigations may involve exposure to harmful or disturbing content, including malicious code, exploit development, and content designed to facilitate cyberattacks.

In this role, you will:

  • Review and label AI-generated exchanges to assess whether content provides meaningful offensive cyber uplift, distinguishing it from legitimate security research
  • Query internal data sources using SQL and Python and cross-reference open-source information (OSINT) to support labeling decisions
  • Document and share investigative findings with internal stakeholders

Required Qualifications:

  • At least 1-3 years of experience in cybersecurity, Trust & Safety, national security, defense, intelligence, or law enforcement domains
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Foundational knowledge of cyber threat concepts, including one or more of the following: scaled data extraction, ransomware, local and remote exploits, or offensive security operations
  • Familiarity with LLM systems and how AI technology can be misused for cyber operations
  • Ability to assess the real-world harm potential of technical content, distinguishing offensive uplift from benign or educational security research
  • Strong SQL and Python proficiency for querying data and supporting investigations
  • Ability to rapidly context-switch across domains, modalities, and abuse areas in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
  • Ability to clear an insider-threat background check

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with threat intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
  • Background in dark web monitoring, OSINT, or cross-platform threat analysis
  • Full professional proficiency in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish
  • Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, or OSCP

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Salary Range: $80K-$105K, depending on experience and location
  • Work Environment: Fully remote, U.S.-based
  • Health Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Time Off: Generous PTO and paid holiday schedule
  • Retirement: 401(k) plan
