Threat Intelligence Investigator
At HUMAN, we are all about knowing who’s real. We are the global leader in bot mitigation. We protect more than 200 enterprises—including the largest internet platforms—from sophisticated bots by verifying the humanity of nearly one trillion online interactions every week. The most sophisticated bots look and act like humans when they click on ads, visit websites, fill out forms, take over accounts, and commit payment fraud. We stop them.
Founded in 2012 in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore, our Bot Mitigation Platform protects enterprises from the sophisticated bots that threaten them. It’s an ongoing war that we fight passionately every day. Join our mission to stop bots, disrupt the economics of cybercrime, and keep it human.
In this role, you will be part of a team of highly skilled and, sometimes quirky, hackers, intelligence investigators and software engineers who continuously hunt for threats, develop detection techniques, and share intel and attribution for cybercrime activity with the goal of protecting our customers and keeping the internet human.
You should be passionately curious and strive to work smart and fast to help produce insights that HUMAN has never seen before. You must use your skills to proactively identify new and emerging threats, hunt cyber threats to pinpoint nefarious activities on the internet and attribute these threats to botnets, campaigns, and actors.
