## About the role

You will be Recorded Future's internal authority on the dark web ecosystem — the person other teams turn to when they need to understand how underground communities operate, what's worth collecting, and where not to invest. This means making real strategic decisions: which forums warrant access efforts, which intelligence areas to prioritize, and which sources don't merit the operational cost. You will own that judgment and defend it across the organization. At the same time, this is a hands-on role.

## What they're looking for

- Additional language skills relevant to underground communities (Ukrainian, Romanian, Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic)
- Background in cybercrime research, threat actor tracking, or law enforcement intelligence
- Prior experience at a threat intelligence vendor, CSIRT, law enforcement, or intelligence agency
- Basic scripting ability (Python) for data parsing and format conversion
