🏢 About Recordedfuture

Recorded Future is a leading threat intelligence company that provides real-time, actionable intelligence to security teams worldwide.

Working here means contributing to cutting-edge intelligence that helps organizations proactively defend against cyber threats.

About This Role

As a Threat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future, you'll be responsible for producing client-focused intelligence reports on cyber threat activity, researching indicators across various data sources, and engaging directly with clients throughout the report lifecycle. This role is impactful because you'll be translating complex threat data into actionable intelligence that directly informs clients' security decisions and defenses.
