Adversary Operations’ mission is to expose adversaries and empower defenders. Advanced Research and Collection (ARC)’s mission is to systematically discover, research, attribute, and surveil prioritized adversaries. ARC not only sets the standards for how Mandiant conducts intelligence collection and research, we are responsible for relentlessly executing the mission.

As a Senior Researcher, you will be using data and information derived from multiple disciplines, sources, and methods to provide continuous visibility and proven depth of knowledge of prioritized adversaries. You will use Mandiant’s global visibility to set goals for your assigned adversaries. You will have the flexibility to also pursue unassigned and emerging threats beyond this.
In this role, you will focus primarily on Russian cyber espionage threat actors, but will have the flexibility to work on diverse prioritized threats and problems. You will be expected to apply your technical skills and tradecraft against other topics as priorities change.

Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is now part of Google Cloud.
