About Alethea:

Founded in 2019, with the mission to protect the truth, Alethea is a tech company that detects and mitigates instances of disinformation and social media manipulation to help clients navigate the new digital reality.

  • Familiarity with the disinformation space (e.g. through academic research, training, or prior work experience)
  • A well-developed understanding—either through research, study, or experience—of one of the following areas: social media research, government and politics, disinformation, information operations, violent extremism, quantitative analysis, computer science, or cybersecurity.
