@ESETresearch is looking for an additional Strategic Threat Analyst to join our team!
The role is mostly focused on the socio/geopolitical context of the APT/cyberespionage landscape (i.e. don't expect to reverse engineer malware đ)
My colleague who's been doing this job for about a year just said that it's "the coolest job in the world". I'm not sure how much of that was a joke, but he doesn't seem to be too miserable in his role đ
