What You'll Do

We're seeking a Gaming Threat Intelligence Analyst to identify, investigate, and disrupt the people who cheat, defraud, or abuse Epic's games and players. You'll track cheat developers, account sellers, and fraud operations back to the people and infrastructure behind them, then work with Ecosystem Security and Legal to turn that research into mitigations, enforcement, and legal action. This role owns investigations from first lead to finished report with minimal oversight.

In this role, you will

Investigate cheat developers, sellers and resellers, account sellers, tournament cheaters, DDoS providers, and exploit developers targeting Epic's games

Identify the people, networks, and infrastructure behind cheat products and fraud schemes, not only the products themselves

Investigate fraud and abuse across the ecosystem, including V-Bucks fraud, Support-A-Creator fraud, and map payout fraud

Monitor cheat communities and underground markets for new features, techniques, and trends, and feed findings into technical mitigations and enforcement decisions

Track account compromise methods and social programming tactics used against players

Research and maintain Epic's gaming threat landscape, including the leading threat actors, their methods, and where they are likely to move next

Prioritize actors by impact and build evidence packages that support takedowns, payment disruption, and litigation, and support Legal throughout the legal process

Work with external intel partners on reporting, cheat testing, and attribution, and exchange intelligence with gaming industry peers

Support incident response with research on cheats, exploits, compromised accounts, and leaks

Write case reports and contribute to quarterly threat reporting, and own small projects from the team backlog end to end

What we're looking for

4+ years of experience in threat intelligence, online investigations, anti-cheat, fraud, or trust and safety

Working knowledge of how cheat, account selling, or fraud ecosystems operate

Strong OSINT skills, including pivoting on handles, accounts, storefronts, payment details, domains, and hosting

Experience with threat intelligence platforms such as Flashpoint, Recorded Future, or similar

Comfortable querying data in SQL or Splunk, with basic Python

Organized case management (Jira or similar) and evidence documentation that holds up to legal review

Clear report writing for technical, legal, and leadership audiences

Availability for on-call rotation

This role is open to multiple locations in North America (including CA & WA).
