Careers
Do work that gets finished.
Our investigators own their cases from first question to final debrief, and they see what happens next: the arrest, the frozen account, the deal that did not close. If you want your research to end in an answer, read on.
The work
What it is like to work here.
Small case teams, senior review, real consequences. You will be challenged on every conclusion, and you will become a far better investigator for it.
We hire people who are curious, careful and honest about uncertainty. Backgrounds vary widely. What our people share is a refusal to stop at the first plausible answer.
- Ownership of real casesAnalysts work on live client matters from their first month, with a named mentor reviewing their work.
- Structured developmentA tradecraft curriculum, a personal training budget and time each quarter to develop new techniques.
- Welfare taken seriouslyLimited exposure to harmful content, rotation off difficult casework and confidential counseling for everyone.
- Remote-first, with a rhythmWork from where you are, with shared hours for your case team and an annual in-person gathering.
- Clear ethical linesYou will never be asked to deceive anyone or cut a corner. Our standards protect you as much as our clients.
Who we hire
Many backgrounds. One standard.
Investigators
Former police, prosecution, regulatory and corporate investigators who know what evidence must look like to be acted on.
Researchers and journalists
Verification specialists and investigative reporters who can find a fact, test it and explain it clearly.
Financial crime specialists
People who can read a corporate filing, trace a payment and spot a nominee structure at a glance.
Analysts and linguists
Native speakers with regional expertise who catch the slang, codes and context that machine translation misses.
Engineers
Builders of collection, evidence and analysis systems that investigators depend on under pressure.
Watch floor analysts
Calm, fast thinkers who can verify a threat at three in the morning and make the right call.
