Trusted by public sector agencies and private sector institutions on the front lines of illicit activity, including criminal networks, sanctioned actors and state-backed threats. Backed by Bessemer and Y Combinator.
About the role
Sextortion — extorting money or further imagery from victims, disproportionately minors, under threat of releasing explicit images — has been named a national emergency by the FBI and NCMEC, and financial sextortion cases have been directly linked to a rise in teen suicides. In parallel, CSAM distribution networks increasingly monetize through cryptocurrency, using crypto's speed and pseudonymity to move money across borders faster than any single agency can follow.
What they're looking for
- You know how to work a case with other people, not just alone. You can point to investigations you've co-run with another investigator, or handed off cleanly without losing momentum
- You're comfortable working to someone else's clock. You've delivered real answers under RFI-style pressure — a partner or requester needing something in hours or days, not on a self-paced research timeline — and can point to examples
- AI fluency (required). You use AI in your own work today and have a clear, honest view of where it helps and where it does not — especially given the sensitivity of this material
- Working knowledge of legal process — subpoenas, warrants, preservation requests — or a fast willingness to learn it. You do not need to be a lawyer, you need to understand how high-quality investigative documentation supports downstream action
- Solid written communication. You can produce a clear, defensible written package under review
- Sound judgment with difficult material. The maturity to work with emotionally demanding content without it compromising your judgment or your well-being
