About The Position

Circle is a financial technology company at the epicenter of the emerging internet of money, where value can finally travel like other digital data - globally, nearly instantly and less expensively than legacy settlement systems. This ground-breaking new internet layer opens up previously unimaginable possibilities for payments, commerce and markets that can help raise global economic prosperity and enhance inclusion. Our infrastructure - including USDC, a blockchain-based dollar - helps businesses, institutions and developers harness these breakthroughs and capitalize on this major turning point in the evolution of money and technology. What you'll be part of: Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency are motivators for our success and our employees live by our company values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We have built a flexible and diverse work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder. What you'll be responsible for: The Circle Threat Intelligence Program is responsible for researching a range of threats to the company. The goal of the program is to enable our internal stakeholders to use refined and vetted intelligence to make better decisions and understand the risks facing the organization. As a member of the threat intelligence team at Circle specializing in keeping employees at the company safe, you will be responsible for running Circle's TI global security monitoring and threat response function. This is a critical role that requires the ability to act autonomously and determine methods for proactively identifying physical threats to Circle and its employees. This role will work most closely with Physical Security and have dotted line responsibility to the Director and Senior Manager. We are looking for someone who is capable of building a program to centralize physical threat data within the company and build monitoring around key threat signals, like social media, regional news, etc., by heavily leveraging AI. Moreover, the right candidate will be able to quickly assess threats made against Circle to determine credibility and impact and assist on other projects including the collection and dissemination of cyber threat data against the organization.
