We have an opportunity for a Threat Researcher to join our ART (Axur Research Team) in Home office - Brazil, reporting to the Supervisor, Threat Intelligence. In this role, you will conduct investigations and research into external cyber threats, including phishing, fraud, leaked credentials, malicious infrastructure, and threat-actor activity. You will transform evidence from OSINT, underground sources, internal datasets, and customer-provided information into clear, actionable intelligence.

Collaborating closely with Threat Intelligence, Engineering, Automation, Product, and customer-facing teams, you will help expand investigative coverage, improve repeatable workflows, and support AI-assisted research and reporting capabilities. This role is designed for a developing threat researcher who can execute well-defined investigations, strengthen analytical judgment, and contribute to the team’s mission of turning external threat visibility into meaningful protection.

• Working knowledge of indicators of compromise, attack infrastructure, tactics, techniques, procedures, and confidence-based analysis
• Experience using OSINT and threat intelligence tools to research domains, IP addresses, URLs, files, identities, infrastructure, or underground activity
• Ability to correlate evidence from multiple sources, distinguish facts from assumptions, and maintain clear source traceability
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce structured, accurate, and actionable intelligence reports
• Familiarity with spreadsheets, structured data, search operators, basic scripting, or query languages such as SQL; Python is an advantage
