We're looking for a talented Applied Security Researcher to join our team and play a major role in our frontier research team, enabling contextual code understanding across complex cloud deployments.
Responsibilities:
Investigate the Code, Cloud, and AI technologies that we integrate with and protect, answering key research questions to unlock new features and product areas.
Design and build high-quality functional prototypes, driving abstract product ideas from inception into working PoCs and supporting development teams through initial implementation.
Conduct technical research to model risks and attack vectors specific to modern cloud- and AI-native architectures and systems.
Define and implement novel agentic workflows and advanced methods to express consistent contextual understanding of evolving application and cloud environments.

Requirements:
Minimum qualifications
5+ years of hands-on experience in security or security research.
Strong threat-modeling mindset, with a deep understanding of both how attackers approach complex environments and how enterprises defend them.
Deep architectural understanding of complex software systems (Low-level, Distributed, or Core System Engineering mindset).
Proven ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive complex, multi-quarter research projects from initial concept through to working PoC and product integration.
Strong ability to define and implement agentic workflows.
Preferred qualifications:
Security research experience in modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.)
Specialized knowledge or research experience in AI security, focusing on risks to AI as deployed in the enterprise.
Solid foundation in program analysis or programming language theory (e.g., parsing, ASTs, compilation, or static code analysis).
Familiarity with model benchmarking, evaluation or fine tuning.
Hands-on experience with query languages (e.g., KQL, SQL) for efficient data analysis of security telemetry, or relevant large-scale data mining experience.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of successfully collaborating with cross-functional teams (e.g., Product, Engineering, Marketing) to achieve shared goals.
