The Impact You Will Make

• Work in a team of cyber threat analysts, economists, data scientists, actuaries and risk modelers to develop insights, scores, and features for a suite of products delivering cyber risk analytics to the (re)insurance industry
• Own CyberCube's point of view on technology risk including factors such as:
  • Offensive capabilities and trends among threat actor classes, and validating CyberCube models against observed real-world events,
  • Security hygiene standards (e.g. NIST CSF, CIS) and mitigations for companies to lower their potential likelihood and/or impact of events, and
  • Technology adoption and trends including the adoption, reliance on and governance of artificial intelligence

… translating these factors into the assumptions and scenarios that drive risk models – especially where historical data is limited

• Own the scenario and "event family" library for cyber catastrophe modeling, including emerging AI-driven scenarios
• Own the assumptions register and expert-judgment governance: the documented, client-defensible rationale for modeling choices that are not purely data-driven
• Present CyberCube methodology, threat landscape and emerging risk trends to clients and prospects and engage in strategic dialogue with key stakeholders as one of CyberCube's key voices and thought leaders on technology risk. Be able to differentiate when speaking with varying technical backgrounds and seniority (e.g. analyst to C-Suite)

• 3-5 years experience in offensive and/or defensive cyber security (CISSP, CEH, CISM, CompTIA Security+, or other certification preferred)
• Working fluency in Python / R, SQL, flat files and complex data types (JSON, XML), APIs, and Excel – enough to specify and interpret analysis with Data/Analytics teams
• Ability to translate real-world cyber threat behavior into modeling assumptions and scenarios – e.g. scenario likelihoods, severity, and mitigation impacts
• Intellectual curiosity, willingness to learn new skills, and push ideas forward
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Strong communication and consulting presence with key stakeholders
• Experience working in and leading project teams
• Ability to work in an agile, fast-paced startup environment
• Ability to maintain relationships, collaborate effectively, and meet deadlines with a distributed, remote-first workforce
• Ability to think creatively and respond to emerging threats (cyber, AI, other) and their modeling implications in a timely manner

The Extra Credit, or The Focus Areas You Will Develop

• Experience in a SaaS product development environment
• Familiarity with ML techniques and statistical data analysisFamiliarity with AI / LLM risk and its implications for cyber risk, social engineering, product safety, errors/omissions, and critical infrastructure
