Threat Intelligence Researcher- CTI
About The Position
Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.
Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.
We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.
This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.
We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.
The Dream Job
We are on an expedition to find you, someone who is passionate about turning research into reliable, production-grade capabilities. You’ll play a major role in building and shaping our next-gen CTI platform across attribution, pivoting, infrastructure prediction, EASM, and the STIX/OpenCTI knowledge base.
The Dream-Maker Responsibilities
- Execute the CTI research roadmap across attribution, infra prediction, EASM, and the STIX knowledge base.
- Design and implement graph-pivoting, attribution heuristics, and temporal/link models (sequence/survival/Hawkes-style).
- Build high-signal EASM detectors: passive discovery and safe active probing per ROE; capture reproducible evidence.
- Normalize, enrich, and deduplicate intel into STIX 2.1 aligned to our ontology; maintain/enhance TAXII/OpenCTI/MISP connectors.
- Ship detectors/models and enrichment services with AI/Platform teams; contribute tests, docs, and runbooks.
- Curate datasets, define ground truth, and evaluate KPIs (coverage, lead-time, precision/recall, FPR); iterate to improve signal-to-noise.
- Produce watchlists, concise briefs, and early-warning hypotheses for stakeholders and priority investigations.
- Uphold governance, ethics, provenance, and data-quality standards.
The Dream Skill Set
- 4-7+ years in CTI/EASM/offensive research or adversary-infra analysis.
- DNS, BGP/ASNs, TLS/PKI & CT logs, hosting/CDN/cloud patterns, domain lifecycle, phishing ecosystems.
- Communities/embeddings/clustering; temporal/link modeling and practical evaluation.
- Passive discovery and safe active probing; evidence discipline and noise reduction.
- STIX 2.1, ATT&CK, TAXII; advantage for OpenCTI/MISP; ontology alignment and validation.
- Python (pandas, notebooks, scikit-learn, networkx/igraph); Neo4j/Elasticsearch; Kafka/SQS/Redis; Docker/Kubernetes.
- Prompting/tool-use for extraction/normalization; agentic patterns with guardrails and sanity checks.
- Analytical writing; collaborative, version-controlled workflow (Git); documentation rigor.
