Want to investigate and disrupt some of the world's most sophisticated spyware and surveillance threats?
Come work with us at Amnesty International's Security Lab, a unique team combining cutting-edge technical and forensic methodologies with human rights research to expose the ever-evolving digital threats facing journalists and activists. We're hiring a passionate Technologist to help expand our work.
You'll join a small team of passionate technologists, researchers, and human rights advocates working to turn the tables on attackers, expose unlawful surveillance, and create real costs through technical disruption, public exposure, and strategic litigation.
This is a unique role for a skilled technologist, researcher, or threat intelligence investigator at the world's largest human rights organisation. You'll be joining a high-impact team: we helped make mobile spyware a global issue with the Pegasus Project, published the Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT), and have uncovered numerous zero-days and novel campaigns. Most recently, we've worked as a design partner with Android Security and Privacy to design Intrusion Logging, a innovative new approach to detecting sophisticated attacks on Android.
We work on novel threats and in uncharted territory, often underserved by the commercial cybersecurity industry. You'll have significant scope to develop new forensic methodologies, investigative approaches, partnerships, and creative strategies to gather evidence of human rights abuses and hold perpetrators accountable. Your skills, experience, and motivation will drive our work towards a world where civil society is free from the threat of unlawful surveillance.
Equality and diversity are at the core of our values, and staff are expected to work collectively and individually to promote a constructive and sensitive approach to others from a variety of backgrounds. To address the lack of diversity and discrimination in the technology and human rights community, we especially encourage applications from underrepresented racial groups, gender identities, disabled communities, sexual orientations, and other marginalised identities.
Even if you do not meet all our desired qualifications, we would like to hear from you, particularly if your background is underrepresented in the NGO or technology sectors.
We are a remote-first team and are hiring in countries where we have an Amnesty International office, including Berlin, London (and wider UK), Bangkok, Colombo, Johannesburg, Mexico City, and Nairobi.
