WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead a team of engineers and analysts responsible for cyber threat intelligence, adversary tracking, and vulnerability research in support of Anduril's products, infrastructure, and personnel

• Provide regular briefings to senior leadership, program stakeholders, and government partners on the threat landscape, adversary activity against Anduril, and the team's assessments
• Build and maintain the team's analytic tradecraft, intelligence production standards, and tooling — including threat actor tracking systems, signature development (YARA, Snort, and similar), and intelligence data integration pipelines
• Lead complex investigations into targeted threat activity, supply chain compromise, and infrastructure-based campaigns affecting Anduril
• Cultivate relationships with external partners across the intelligence community, industry ISACs, and peer defense-industrial-base companies to enable joint capabilities and information exchange
• Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing team of intelligence analysts and research engineers

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of experience in cyber threat intelligence, threat research, vulnerability research, or related fields
• 3+ years of experience leading teams and managing complex security programs
• Proven experience analyzing sophisticated threat actor campaigns — including nation-state, supply chain, and infrastructure-based activity — and developing durable countermeasures
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity principles across endpoint, application, network, and cloud environments
• Programming ability in one or more general purpose languages (Python, Go, Rust, etc.)
• Strong and professional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief both technical and executive audiences
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• In-depth knowledge of nation-state, sophisticated criminal, or supply chain threat actors, particularly those targeting the defense industrial base
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability research, reverse engineering, or exploit development
• Experience building or managing intelligence platforms and tooling, including fileand network-based signatures (YARA, Snort) and large-scale data analysis
• Track record of shipping production code for threat intelligence or security automation tooling
• Experience with Vertex Synapse or comparable threat intelligence platforms
• Established relationships within the broader security and threat intelligence community
• Experience communicating technical threat and risk concerns to non-technical stakeholders, including executive leadership and government partners
• Prior experience supporting or interfacing with offensive security, red team, or product security functions
