Offensive Solutions Architect

Description

The United States faces constant cyber attacks. Adversaries break into networks, take intellectual property, and damage the digital infrastructure that daily life depends on, and they have learned that these attacks seldom bring consequences.

The company was founded to change that by making adversaries think twice before attacking. Its goal is for America and its allies to hold the upper hand in cyberspace, where adversaries cannot contest them, deterrence is assured, and the free world stays secure.

Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the company builds industrialized offensive cyber operations for the U.S. and its allies. It has raised $168M from investors including Khosla Ventures, Accel, Caffeinated Capital, Friends & Family Capital, Point72 Ventures, General Catalyst, and In-Q-Tel.

The company is hiring an Offensive Solutions Architect to connect advanced Title 50 cyber tradecraft with its AI-powered cyber operations products. The role suits a senior operator or targeteer whose expertise already makes them a trusted advisor on missions, and who wants to multiply that impact 100x through software.

You have years of experience in offensive cyber operations and intelligence analysis, and senior stakeholders consult you before difficult decisions. You know how missions run across DNEA/EA, multi-domain intelligence, and complex targeting, and you focus on more, better, and faster operational impact.

You will work with highly technical cyber operations staff, program staff at varying levels of seniority, and senior intelligence officials. You will help make sure the company's AI-powered graph database applications meet the demands of modern cyber operations, alongside its engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Stay operationally current by regularly engaging with live cyber operations and intelligence production, within appropriate constraints.
• Act as a primary subject matter expert on cyber operations and intelligence analysis, turning complex operational workflows into clear, prioritized technical requirements for the product and engineering teams.
• Confirm that the AI-powered graph database applications accurately reflect and improve offensive and defensive cyber operations, including DNEA / EA tradecraft.
• Lead structured requirements sessions with government customers and turn operational needs into actionable, testable development work.
• Design, build, and refine operational workflows in the company's products for new and existing IC user groups, going beyond demonstrations.
• Gather feedback from cyber operators and analysts on user interfaces, graph models, and workflows, then iterate quickly with Forward Deployed Analysts and core engineering.
• Identify relevant datasets and signals by engaging deeply with customer problems, and work with Forward Deployed Analysts to fold them into stable, extensible pipelines.
• Present mission workflows, results, and next-step proposals to audiences from operators to senior executives.
• Scope new deployments and use cases across additional IC elements, helping the company grow from early adopters to wider mission footprints.
• Represent the company in customer engagements, using your operational credibility to build trust and long-term partnerships.
• Lead high-impact technical demonstrations showing how the AI and graph capabilities materially improve mission outcomes, with more, better, and faster operations across more targets.
• Work with government stakeholders to surface emerging operational requirements, capability gaps, and opportunities for new product directions.
• Link operators, leadership, and internal teams so the company builds for real mission impact rather than slideware.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience in cyber operations and intelligence analysis within U.S. Government military or intelligence organizations.
• Deep expertise in Targeteering, Digital Network Exploitation and Analysis (DNEA), and/or Exploitation Analyst (EA) methods and tools.
• Strong understanding of offensive and defensive cyber mission sets and how they overlap with other domains.
• Extensive experience with multi-domain intelligence analysis, correlating CYBER, SIGINT, GEOINT, and HUMINT in support of real operations.
• Demonstrated expertise in network analysis, persona development, and threat actor attribution.
• Strong background in operational planning and mission execution in cyber environments, including shaping and assessing effects.
• Advanced understanding of network protocols, exploitation techniques, and cyber attack methodologies.
• Experience using graph-based analysis tools and methods for intelligence analysis and targeting.
• Familiarity with AI and ML applications in cyber operations or intelligence analysis, and interest in advancing them in production systems.
• Understanding of cloud platforms and their security implications for government and IC environments.
• Familiarity with IoT protocols, Wi-Fi exploitation, and electromagnetic spectrum operations.
• Experience with data visualization tools and techniques for complex intelligence products and decision briefs.
• Proven ability to explain complex operational and technical concepts to diverse audiences, including senior government officials.
• Experience mentoring analysts or leading operational teams, with examples of raising the bar for tradecraft and impact.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a record of producing high-quality intelligence products or operational briefs.
• Comfortable briefing senior leadership and giving clear, actionable recommendations under time pressure.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams that include operators, analysts, engineers, and product leaders.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Intelligence Studies, or a related field, or equivalent operational experience.
• Advanced degrees and/or relevant operational or technical certifications are a plus.
• Previous experience as a technical lead or senior analyst in government cyber operations units.
• Track record of moving from purely operational roles into product development, requirements engineering, or capability development.
• Experience with government acquisition, requirements development, or capability roadmapping processes.
• Background in training and doctrine development for cyber operations.
• Previous work with defense contractors or in public-private partnerships.
• Publications, conference talks, or recognized contributions in cyber operations or intelligence analysis.
• Advanced technical certifications in cyber operations or intelligence analysis.
