Company Overview

Graphika empowers the world to understand and navigate the “cyber-social terrain.” We create large-scale, in-depth maps of social media landscapes and conversations to discover how communities form online and how influence and information flow within large scale networks. Our interdisciplinary team uses our unique, patented set of technologies and tools to create and apply new, rigorous analytical methods to answer difficult questions about online conversations.

About the Role

Areas of Responsibility

• Lead in-depth and rigorous investigations on information operations and disinformation campaigns, using OSINT techniques to rigorously analyze, build and attribute sets of online assets.
• Proactively identify global disinformation threats, investigate specific threat actors, report on assets linked to those threat actors
• Write and synthesize outputs for clients, partners and publication
