Liminal is the actionable intelligence company. We've built a proprietary Living Graph — a verified knowledge architecture that maps the real-time structure of Identity, Fraud, and Cybersecurity — and the agentic AI systems and human verification layer to make it trustworthy. Visa, Mastercard, Google, and JPMC use it to make strategic and revenue decisions. Series A, 80 people, offices in NYC, Salt Lake City, Porto, Lisbon, and Manila. The architecture works, the customers are real, and we're scaling the team.

The Role

Most market intelligence has never been reviewed by a domain expert — a bot scraped it, an algorithm scored it, and it landed on a dashboard with a confidence level that means nothing. At Liminal, that's the problem we built the Analyst Desk to solve.

The Analyst Desk is the human-in-the-loop verification layer behind every piece of intelligence Liminal delivers. It's staffed by domain experts recruited from Identity, Fraud, and Cybersecurity — people who don't need a briefing on the market because they spent their careers in it. AI finds the signal. The Analyst Desk verifies the truth. That's the loop that makes the system trustworthy, and it's why Visa, Mastercard, Google, and JPMC trust what they see on the platform.

We're looking for a Senior Research Analyst to join the Analyst Desk with deep expertise — or serious intellectual appetite — in one or more of our core domains: fraud prevention, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and trust and safety. You'll conduct qualitative and quantitative research across the markets we cover, validate intelligence before it reaches customers, and serve as a subject matter expert who engages directly with industry leaders and shapes how Liminal covers your domain.

This isn't a back-office research role. Your analysis shapes the intelligence that enterprise customers use to validate strategy, displace competitors, and enter new markets. Your expertise doesn't just inform the product — it's what makes it trustworthy.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 30 days, you've immersed yourself in Liminal's coverage across your domain areas, understand the Analyst Desk verification workflow and taxonomy, and have delivered your first reviewed research output.

In your first 90 days, you've built a working cadence of signal validation, insight review, and original research deliverables. You've conducted your first analyst briefings with industry leaders and are actively refining how the Living Graph models fraud prevention, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and trust and safety.

In your first year, you're recognized internally and externally as a subject matter expert. Your verification work and original research directly inform customer intelligence, platform content, and strategic recommendations — and you've measurably improved the depth and accuracy of Liminal's coverage across your domains.

What You'll Do

• Validate incoming signals and intelligence outputs for accuracy, relevance, and completeness as part of the Analyst Desk verification workflow — ensuring nothing reaches customers unverified
• Conduct in-depth qualitative and quantitative research across fraud prevention, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and trust and safety, synthesizing proprietary platform intelligence and external sources into actionable deliverables

What You Bring

You have a strong foundation in research, consulting, market intelligence, or a related analytical discipline — with demonstrated experience or deep interest in one or more of: fraud prevention, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, or trust and safety. You're comfortable conducting both qualitative and quantitative analysis, building data visualizations that tell a clear story, and engaging directly with senior executives in structured briefings and interviews. You write clearly, think rigorously, and manage your own workload without needing direction. You care about getting things right — not just getting things done.

Bonus Points

Experience building and maintaining knowledge repositories, taxonomies, or structured research databases. Familiarity with investment and market intelligence tools (PitchBook, Crunchbase, or similar). Background in hypothesis-driven research methodologies. Prior experience in fraud prevention, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, trust and safety, or adjacent regulated markets in an analytical or advisory capacity.

Why Liminal

Your expertise is a core component of the system. At most companies, domain analysts are an afterthought — you get consulted once and then the model does whatever it does. Here, the Analyst Desk is built into the architecture. Every signal gets verified before it reaches a customer. Every taxonomy update you make changes how the system reasons. The human and technology layers improve together.

You'll work with data no one else has. The Living Graph is a proprietary intelligence architecture — not a wrapper on public data. You'll research across structured, verified market intelligence that doesn't exist anywhere else, and you'll generate primary research through executive interviews and buyer demand surveys that power Liminal's proprietary demand signals.

Your work compounds. Every signal you verify, every taxonomy you refine, every briefing you conduct makes the graph smarter and the platform more valuable. You're not writing reports that expire — you're building the verified knowledge layer for an entire market.
