From Izombie
"Should you accept, you'll be working in the

To "work in the shadows", in this context, means that you secretly work using stealth. Making sure no one sees you doing your job of saving zombies.

Hi Am,
"working in the shadows" would generally mean that you were working in the background, no one would see the work that you do. It's possible that in the context of the prose that 'the shadows' refers to a particular place known as the shadows.
Hope that helps,
Alice
