About The Position

HUMAN is looking for a Research Analyst to join our Research team—the people behind the threat intelligence and detection that protect the internet’s most trusted platforms. In this role, you’ll work directly with some of our largest customers, surfacing insights that strengthen both their defenses and our products. You’ll investigate massive datasets, uncover new attack patterns, and help accelerate detection from “seen in the wild” to “mitigated in HUMAN.” If you love solving complex problems at scale and presenting your findings in a way that actually resonates, this role is for you.

HUMAN was founded in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore with a hacker mindset and the lofty mission of making the internet safer by putting humans first. Today, our Human Defense Platform safeguards enterprises from sophisticated bots, fraud, and account abuse, verifying the humanity of more than 20 trillion interactions per week for the world’s biggest brands and internet platforms.
HUMAN is an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to protecting the internet's integrity for everyone. We believe in putting people first, embracing diversity of thought from our global teams, and welcoming all individuals to share their unique experiences as we fight cybercrime together. We support our Humans with a comprehensive total rewards package for personal and professional development, including well-being and learning stipends, flexible work options, and dedicated time off. While our HQ is in NYC, we have teams worldwide.
HUMAN is growing fast, and there’s never been a more meaningful time to join us. If you thrive on solving complex problems and want to help shape the future of cybersecurity, join us as we build a safer, more human internet.
