Threat Intelligence Analyst — Scam Infrastructure

TRM Labs; Washington (District of Columbia); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

TRM Labs is seeking a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst in the Scam Disruption team to lead infrastructure-driven investigations, pivoting from a domain, IP, or certificate indicator to the network behind it, and delivering actionable intelligence to law enforcement partners.

You will fuse open-source, on-chain, and technical data to track scam campaigns and produce defensible assessments, guiding disruption operations with minimal supervision.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of proven experience in cyber threat intelligence or threat infrastructure analysis roles (this is not an entry-level position).
• Hands-on infrastructure attribution: infrastructure pivoting and campaign tracking across shared certificates, registrars, nameservers, hosting, and ASNs — and a habit of thinking in campaigns, not isolated indicators.
• A track record of staying on an actor or campaign over time, including through takedowns and re-registration.
• Hands-on fluency with CTI tooling — passive DNS, WHOIS, certificate or Shodan-style fingerprinting, and phishing monitoring.
• Experience building detection and clustering logic, rules, or automation yourself — not just configuring vendor tooling.
• Attribution tradecraft: using open-source and commercially available data to drive attribution of threat actors.
• Demonstrated ability to produce actionable intelligence or targeting packages for a government, law-enforcement, or equivalent consumer who acted on them, and calibrated, defensible analytic judgment.
• Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-person collaboration and travel may be required)

Responsibilities

• Start from one indicator — a scam domain, IP, or certificate — and pivot across shared certificates, registrars, nameservers, hosting, and ASNs to map the wider infrastructure behind Southeast Asia scam operations, clustering one-off indicators into campaigns.
• Track campaigns as they evolve — new domains, hosting and registrar changes, certificate reuse — and stay on actors as they rebuild and re-register after takedowns and seizures, anticipating their next infrastructure.
• Drive attribution of threat actors by leveraging open-source and commercially available data.
• Fuse technical infrastructure with the on-chain picture — carrying an investigation from infrastructure through to the wallet, the laundering path, and the cash-out.
• Build clustering logic, detection rules, and automation or tooling to surface malicious infrastructure proactively, rather than waiting on off-the-shelf feeds.
• Produce defensible, calibrated assessments — assigning confidence, weighing evidence across sources, and standing behind a malicious-versus-benign call.
• Synthesize on-chain and off-chain intelligence (OSINT, technical, and financial) into targeting packages that a government or law-enforcement consumer can act on.
• Own the intelligence cycle end to end with minimal supervision, partnering with the Scams SME team and with data, engineering, and product to sharpen TRM's collection capabilities.
