Twenty is seeking a Senior Forward Deployed Analyst in the Fort Meade area to serve as the subject matter expert (SME) bridging the gap between our revolutionary cyber technologies and real-world operational requirements. We're looking for someone with 10+ years of experience in cyber operations and intelligence analysis, with deep expertise in Digital Network Exploitation and Analysis (DNEA) and/or Exploitation Analyst (EA) operations within the U.S. Government military or intelligence organizations.

In this role, you'll be the technical voice of the operator, working directly with our world‑class engineering team to ensure our AI‑powered graph database applications meet the complex demands of modern cyber operations.
