About Netcraft

Netcraft is the global leader in cybercrime detection and disruption. We’re a trusted partner for three of the four largest companies in the world and many large governments. We've blocked over 225 million cyber-attacks to date, and we take down around 33% of the world's phishing attacks.
Our purpose and passion are focused on just one thing: protecting the world from cybercrime.
That passion shapes how we work, too. We’re proud of our talented team and the value each person brings, and we’ve built a workplace where people feel supported and inspired. From strong benefits and wellness programs to meaningful collaboration and team connection.

• Attention to detail, adaptability, and a continuous improvement mindset, with an interest in understanding customer needs and business outcomes.
• An analytical and solution-focused approach to problem solving.
• Excellent communication skills with a high standard of written English.
• Ability to empathize with users and provide clear explanations to complex or contentious issues.
• Proven track record in handling complex customer requests.
• Ability to engage with people in a friendly, helpful, and professional manner.
• Self-motivation and the ability to work independently on longer-term tasks.
• Strong prioritization and self-organization skills, with the ability to manage workload with minimal oversight and focus on the highest-impact work when priorities compete.
• Experience in Digital Risk Protection (DRP), Brand Protection, or Cyber Threat Intelligence is highly desirable, with a strong understanding of phishing, domain abuse, social media threats, impersonation, and related attack vectors.
