## 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
