# Open Source Intelligence Analyst Internship at CryptoMize Apply now for the Open Source Intelligence Analyst Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a 6-month certified program on a rolling, always-hiring intake. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) analysts here collect, verify, and structure publicly available information for the engagement portfolio that spans political, reputational, cybersecurity, and corporate-intelligence work across 18 countries. Interns do not shadow from the back office: from week one you sit inside the OSINT cell feeding the PERCEPTION X2 and CLAIRVOYANCE CX platforms, and the verified leads your hands turn up feed directly into the analyst briefs strategists take to clients. Below is the complete OSINT internship description — the required skills, eligibility, selection process, and what your portfolio looks like at the end of the program. ## Facts - Location: New Delhi (HQ), CDR Building, Chhatarpur - Type: 6-month internship, certification provided - Availability: immediate, rolling intake (always hiring) - Compensation: discussed at screening ## What you will actually do - Run structured OSINT sweeps across public, semi-public, and dark-web sources for live political, reputational, and corporate-intelligence engagements — your findings feed the analyst cell the same day - Verify and source-tag every collection so a strategist can re-trace a lead line by line in front of a client — the credibility model fails the moment provenance is loose - Build and maintain the OSINT feed integrations (RSS, APIs, dark-web monitors, custom scrapers) that the cell depends on for daily intelligence - Pivot across social-media personas, leaked-document corpora, and corporate-registration databases to map networks the engagement strategy needs - Write the daily and weekly OSINT briefs the analyst lead takes to the engagement cell — concise, sourced, and ranked by relevance to the active engagement - Sit inside the cell that powers all five intelligence domains at CryptoMize — your OSINT discipline becomes the upstream filter for perception, political, security, and competitive work - Carry a personal investigation stream on one engagement from month two, with mentor review at every step, and a portfolio output you can defend in any interview after the program ## Skills - Source triangulation — combining corroborating signals across unrelated public sources before a finding is logged as intelligence - Verification discipline — provenance, timestamp, primary-source confirmation, and the trail that lets a finding be re-verified months later - Social-media OSINT — username/handle pivots, platform-specific collection tools, archived-version handling - Domain and corporate-registration analysis — WHOIS history, corporate filings, beneficial-ownership chains - Dark-web and Tor hygiene — OPSEC-aware collection, hidden-service tracking, the operational discipline that keeps the analyst and the engagement safe - Geolocation and chronolocation — visual verification, sun-angle analysis, infrastructure-mapping - Python and SQL for OSINT automation — writing the small scripts that turn a manual pivot into a repeatable check - Credibility scoring — separating signal from noise, identifying amplification vs organic source, ranking leads by reliability - Report writing — the concise, sourced brief that the strategist can take to a client unchanged - NDA-grade handling of client material — every collection is logged, every source traceable, every engagement flag-time recorded - Bilingual source handling where the engagement crosses language borders (regional translators and analysts work the same cells) - Disinformation analysis — narrative tracing, amplification-path mapping, the analyst skill of identifying bot vs organic origin ## Tools - Maltego for link and relationship analysis across public corpora - OSINT Framework browser toolkit (the curated catalog of public-collection tools) - Python 3.11 + pandas for collection automation and pivot queries - Shodan, Censys, and exposure-scanning APIs for infrastructure-side OSINT - Tor Browser and Whonix-class OPSEC stack for dark-web collection ## Questions and answers ### What does an Open Source Intelligence Analyst intern do at CryptoMize? An OSINT intern runs structured public-source sweeps across web, social media, dark-web, and corporate-registration sources for live political, reputational, and corporate-intelligence engagements. Findings feed the analyst cell the same day, with full provenance and verification — interns sit inside the cell from week one, not as shadow staff. ### What is the eligibility for the OSINT Internship? Final-year students or recent graduates in any discipline with demonstrated OSINT ability — investigative journalism, security research, history, computer science, or self-taught evidence. No diploma is mandatory: we evaluate on demonstrated sourcing and verification skill, not paperwork (clinical-licensed roles are the only exception). ### Is the OSINT Internship paid? Compensation is discussed during the screening process and depends on demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. We deliberately do not publish figures — every intern is evaluated and compensated individually. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months at our New Delhi HQ, with a certificate provided on completion — and, more importantly, a portfolio of verified OSINT work. Strong interns receive full-time Open Source Intelligence Analyst offers. ### What is the selection process for the OSINT Internship? A short application form, one practical OSINT task on a realistic anonymized engagement brief, and a final interview with the OSINT and intelligence leads where you walk through your task reasoning live. The whole cycle typically completes within two weeks, because intake is rolling and the cell hires ahead of engagements, not after them. ### Does CryptoMize hire OSINT interns in Delhi only? The internship is based at our New Delhi HQ in Vasant Vihar, where you work directly with the OSINT and analyst teams. Full-time roles occasionally support remote or hybrid arrangements depending on the engagement portfolio. ### Which skills should I learn before applying? Working source triangulation, basic Python or scripting, social-media OSINT familiarity, and the discipline to document provenance. Everything else — the cell's tool stack, the verification protocol, the engagement-specific methodology — we teach in-house, on real engagement data from week one.
