Narrative intelligence platform detecting online manipulation and media threats
PeakMetrics monitors 1.5M+ media sources and 10 social platforms to identify narrative threats and coordinated manipulation in real-time. The tech stack—Kafka, Kinesis, Temporal, Dagster, Airflow, and Iceberg—reveals a data-heavy architecture built for high-volume streaming and complex ETL. Current hiring leans security (2 roles) and sales (2 roles) alongside a single data engineer, suggesting they're scaling threat detection capabilities and sales motion simultaneously while operating lean on core platform engineering.
PeakMetrics is a narrative intelligence platform that helps enterprises and government agencies detect media manipulation, state-sponsored influence campaigns, and adversarial attacks across online channels. The platform analyzes unstructured data from major social networks and media sources to surface threat patterns, assess source credibility, and model response scenarios—displacing manual crisis communication workflows and sentiment analysis. Founded in 2017 and based in Los Angeles, the company operates a 11–50 person team focused on real-time detection, OSINT investigations, and customer-specific analytical workspaces. Active projects span government-focused programs, boolean query development, and improvements to data pipeline reliability—reflecting both vertical expansion and infrastructure maturation.
