Threat Intelligence Analyst, Threat Disruption

SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

Threat Disruption provides expert threat intelligence and conducts scaled operations against the adversaries attacking X. We investigate and disrupt threats across the following areas:

• Platform manipulation, including coordinated networks of bots attempting to pollute the information space

• Compromises of accounts owned by high-visibility individuals and organizations

• Sensitive allegations carrying reputational, legal, or geopolitical weight, including suspected foreign-linked influence campaigns

• Financial fraud, monetization abuse, and scam networks operating on and off X

• Other X Rules violations, including illegal activity and child safety

We identify how adversaries circumvent our defenses, abuse product features and core services, and benefit from the abuse. Based on these investigations, we conduct sweeps to disrupt immediate threats and provide recommendations to product, engineering, and policy teams to squash systemic vulnerabilities.

Where appropriate, Threat Disruption also coordinates with law enforcement and other external parties to enhance detections and support prosecution of bad actors.
