Synthetic Influence Intelligence Analyst in London

The rise of AI has transformed the information landscape; online disinformation campaigns and manipulated narratives are now everywhere. The internet is at risk of becoming a dead zone filled with synthetic GenAI ‘slopaganda’. Superhuman AI makes it increasingly difficult for humans to detect bots, so the team at Egregious have designed advanced algorithms to protect the internet from these novel threats. We are seeking a highly capable Intelligence Analyst to operate at the cutting edge of synthetic threat intelligence. This role focuses on the identification, infiltration, mapping, and intelligence extraction from coordinated AI-driven influence networks, including bot farms, synthetic personas, and automated information operations. Due to the nature of the mission, you may be exposed to manipulative, deceptive, or distressing content.

This role is the digital analogue of HUMINT, adapted for a world where adversaries increasingly deploy bots instead of people. You will operate within hybrid and synthetic ecosystems, embedding analytically and operationally to extract insight on intent, capability, command-and-control, tradecraft, and effect.

You will:

• Identify, map, and analyse coordinated synthetic influence networks, including AI-driven bots, automated personas, and hybrid human-machine operations.
• Conduct deep-dive intelligence collection using OSINT, HUMINT, and SOCMINT methodologies to understand bot network structure, behaviour, narratives, and amplification strategies.
• Build and maintain persistent access to synthetic ecosystems to observe and influence network evolution over time.
• Extract intelligence on command signals, coordination patterns, content generation pipelines, timing, and targeting logic.
• Analyse cross-platform behaviour, identifying linkages, escalation indicators, and operational signatures.
• Apply structured analytical techniques to assess intent, attribution indicators, effectiveness, and risk posed by synthetic influence campaigns.
• Distinguish between organic, automated, and semi-automated activity, identifying deception, obfuscation, and evasion techniques.
• Develop and refine methodologies for analysing non-human actors, including behavioural baselining and anomaly detection.
• Maintain detailed analytical records, datasets, and evidential chains suitable for briefing, assessment, and escalation.
• Produce clear, compelling written intelligence reports, including threat assessments, network diagrams, and strategic briefings.
• Translate complex technical and behavioural findings into actionable intelligence for non-technical decision-makers.

Requirements:

• Demonstrable experience in intelligence analysis, OSINT, SOCMINT, or threat intelligence.
• Strong understanding of online influence operations, disinformation, deception, and information manipulation.
• Experience analysing coordinated behaviour at scale.
• Exceptional analytical judgement and attention to detail.
• Ability to produce concise, high-quality written intelligence under time pressure.
• High levels of digital literacy and comfort working with complex datasets and tools.

Desired Skills:

• Familiarity with platform policies, coordinated inauthentic behaviour frameworks, and takedown criteria.
• Experience using data visualisation, network analysis, or social graphing tools.
• Ability to use Python, SQL, or similar to query, process, or automate analysis of large datasets.
• Background in HUMINT, cyber threat intelligence, influence operations, or behavioural analysis.
• Knowledge of how LLMs, generative AI, and automation frameworks are operationalised in adversarial settings.
