See research as a tool for both empathy and strategy
Why Shadow
In cyber missions, poor design creates blind spots. At Shadow, we treat research as operational infrastructure - a way to ensure the systems we build help people detect, act, and decide faster. If you want your research to reduce complexity and increase mission precision, this is the role for you.
Interested?
If this role sounds like a fit, we encourage you to reach out - we're actively shaping teams for upcoming work.
What Comes With It
You'll have what you need to do your best work:
Fully covered health insurance - medical, dental, vision
Paid parental leave - 16 weeks if you give birth, 4 weeks if your partner does
Flexible leave - designed to support real life, not restrict it
401(k) - for your future
Short- and long-term disability - because life happens
Annual health stipend - if you opt out of our insurance
The Extras? They're Built In

Elite talent deserves elite support. Our benefits empower you to excel professionally and personally, recognizing your value through comprehensive health coverage, disability protection, and meaningful well-being initiatives.
