10a Labs' Investigations Team is looking for a Cyber Investigator to support high-volume exchange labeling and investigations across a range of cyber abuse areas. This role requires a solid foundation in cybersecurity and a keen ability to assess whether technical content poses real-world harm.

Investigations may involve exposure to harmful or disturbing content, including malicious code, exploit development, and content designed to facilitate cyberattacks.

In this role, you will:

• Review and label AI-generated exchanges to assess whether content provides meaningful offensive cyber uplift, distinguishing it from legitimate security research
• Query internal data sources using SQL and Python and cross-reference open-source information (OSINT) to support labeling decisions
• Document and share investigative findings with internal stakeholders

Required Qualifications:

• At least 1–3 years of experience in cybersecurity, Trust & Safety, national security, defense, intelligence, or law enforcement domains
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Foundational knowledge of cyber threat concepts, including one or more of the following: scaled data extraction, ransomware, local and remote exploits, or offensive security operations
• Familiarity with LLM systems and how AI technology can be misused for cyber operations
• Ability to assess the real-world harm potential of technical content, distinguishing offensive uplift from benign or educational security research
• Strong SQL and Python proficiency for querying data and supporting investigations
• Ability to rapidly context-switch across domains, modalities, and abuse areas in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Ability to clear an insider-threat background check

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with threat intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
• Background in dark web monitoring, OSINT, or cross-platform threat analysis
• Full professional proficiency in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, or OSCP

Compensation & Benefits:

• Salary Range: $80K–$105K, depending on experience and location
• Work Environment: Fully remote, U.S.-based
• Health Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Time Off: Generous PTO and paid holiday schedule
• Retirement: 401(k) plan
