National Security Analyst

WireScreen is a fast-growing Series A startup bringing clarity to one of the world’s most complex business landscapes. We’re building the go-to intelligence platform for navigating global supply chains and China-related risk—revealing the networks, relationships, and financial ties behind companies so our customers can see connections, remove obstacles, and make confident decisions. Backed by Sequoia Capital and Harpoon Ventures, our team includes a two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and senior engineers from Google, Twitter, and Oracle. We launched just three years ago and already have strong traction with top-tier government customers—and we’re just getting started. If you’re excited to make global systems more transparent and secure, now’s the perfect time to join us. WireScreen is looking for a National Security Analyst to break news, explain complex topics, and produce data-driven research on the technologies and supply chains shaping U.S.–China competition. This role sits at the intersection of journalism and analysis: your work will be read by the public and, crucially, our customers including national security professionals. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Report and write weekly on topics important to our customers: a mix of reported stories and shorter explanatory pieces (500–1,000 words) covering defense, national security, export controls, cybersecurity, rare earths, quantum, AI, and semiconductors, with room to break news - Write at different altitudes. A single story may take several forms: a public-facing piece, plus a slimmed-down briefing or report written for a national security or commercial audience; drier, research-driven, and grounded in the underlying data - Go where the stories take you. Beyond the core beats, you'll have the flexibility to develop stories that you uncover, provided the WireScreen platform has the data to back it up - Produce special reports: two or more deep-dive features per year (2,000–3,000 words) - Work closely with our GTM tea
