Responsibilities

• Own expertise in SQL and familiarity with Python to design, build, and maintain automated data pipelines, reporting dashboards, and reusable frameworks which includes the skill to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders and transform data into clear, actionable visualizations and reports.
• Act as a link between intelligence analysts and product, engineering, and policy teams which includes communicating with intel analysts and collaborating to ensure their outputs are integrated into product features and enforcement systems, and creating feedback loops that inform policy and system improvements.
• Develop and maintain evaluation datasets and metrics to measure the efficacy and coverage of intelligence-to-enforcement pipelines. This involves assessing the performance of automated systems in detecting and mitigating risks.
• Translate qualitative threat intelligence into technical artifacts, including structured data and machine-readable prompt sets for Large Language Models (LLMs).
