Were looking for a Senior Security Researcher to drive high-impact research across cloud, runtime, and application environments, and translate it into product-grade detections. This is a hands-on role for someone who can lead investigations end-to-end: from understanding attacker tradecraft and vulnerabilities, through building reliable detection logic, to influencing product direction.
On a typical day youll:
Lead deep-dive research into real-world attacks, vulnerabilities, and emerging cloud and runtime techniques
Own complex investigations (DFIR, threat hunting, root-cause analysis) and convert learnings into durable detections
Design and implement advanced detection logic and analytics across cloud assets, containers, Kubernetes, and Linux runtime telemetry
Build prototypes and production-ready components that improve detection accuracy, fidelity, and coverage
Partner closely with engineering and product to shape roadmap priorities and guide implementation details
Develop research methodologies, testing frameworks, and validation processes for new detections
Mentor and level up other researchers and engineers through reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance
Represent the team externally through publications, technical blogs, and conference talks.

Were looking for Principal Cloud Security Researcher with a strong security background to join our innovative Research team.
The Role
We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Researcher to serve as a senior technical leader within our Research team. This is a high-impact individual contributor role -- you won't manage people, but you'll shape the direction of our entire research function, mentor researchers, and act as a force multiplier across the organization.
You'll be the person who takes a vague threat signal and turns it into a detection strategy, a published finding, or a product capability. You'll operate as a trusted deputy to the research team lead, owning the most complex and ambiguous research challenges while raising the technical bar for the team.
What You'll Do
Drive Groundbreaking Research
Own and drive our most critical research initiatives end-to-end - from initial threat hypothesis through detection logic, product integration, and external publication.
Set the technical direction for cloud threat research across AWS, Azure, and GCP, identifying emerging attack surfaces and novel techniques before they become mainstream threats.
Investigate real-world cloud and SaaS security incidents, dissecting attacker tradecraft and extracting insights that evolve our detection capabilities.
Pioneer new forensic investigation techniques and detection methodologies for cloud-native and SaaS environments - pushing the state of the art, not just following it.
Be a Voice in the Community
Represent our company as a thought leader through high-quality research publications, conference presentations (BlackHat, DEF CON, RSA, fwd:cloudsec, and similar venues), and open-source contributions.
Build and maintain our reputation as a research-driven company that advances the field - not just a vendor with a blog.
Engage with the broader security research community, fostering relationships and collaborative knowledge-sharing.
Shape the Product
Bridge research and product - translate threat findings into actionable product requirements, working closely with engineering and product teams to ensure our CDR platform stays ahead of evolving threats.
Design and develop advanced detection algorithms that directly feed into our platform, closing the gap between research insight and customer protection.
Elevate the Team
Act as the team's go-to technical authority. When researchers hit a wall on complex cloud attack chains, IAM edge cases, or detection gaps - you're who they turn to.
Mentor and grow other researchers through research reviews, pair investigations, code reviews, and by setting quality standards and methodology best practices.
Influence technical decisions org-wide - contributing to architecture, tooling, and strategic research priorities.
Step in as the research team lead's deputy when needed - driving prioritization, representing research cross-functionally, and ensuring continuity.

We're seeking a Senior Security Researcher & Team Lead to own and drive security research domain from the ground up. This is a leadership-first role - you'll build and guide a research team, define a new frontier in AI and agentic security, and shape the methodologies and standards that don't yet exist in the industry. If you thrive in ambiguity, love creating structure where there is none, and want to leave a real mark on an emerging security domain, this role is for you.
You'll investigate emerging attack surfaces, architect and implement detection mechanisms, and validate your findings in production environments protecting Fortune 500 customers. It's a high-ownership position that blends deep technical research with strategic thinking and team leadership - with a real sense of urgency to shape the AI security landscape not just, but for the entire security community.
Responsibilities:
Lead and mentor a security research team, driving vulnerability and threat research that generates product value and protects Fortune 500 customers in production environments.
Take end-to-end ownership of detection mechanism design for agentic AI applications - from initial hypothesis through experimentation to production-grade implementation.
Apply expertise across cloud, identity, web, and API security to map and address the evolving AI threat landscape.
Apply LLMs, Agentic AI, and machine learning models to detect security vulnerabilities.
Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to translate research into actionable, shippable security capabilities.

We are seeking a Senior Security Researcher - Cloud Threats to join our highly technical product research team working at the core of our cloud security platform.

This is a rare opportunity to join an elite cloud security research team and do work that directly shapes our product. In this role, you will own the research direction for our Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) capabilities, designing detection strategies across agentless and agent-based telemetry, expanding coverage across cloud attack surfaces, and developing prioritization mechanisms that help customers focus on what matters.

You will perform novel security research to uncover attacker behavior, develop detection methodologies, and apply detection-as-code principles to build production-grade detections. Beyond product work, you'll contribute to Tenable's external thought leadership, writing and speaking about cloud threats, adversary tradecraft, and detection methodologies.

We're looking for an exceptional, adversary-focused security researcher who can bridge threat intelligence, cloud security knowledge, and detection engineering. You're curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven to understand how attackers operate in cloud environments.

Your Role:

Own the research direction for Cloud Detection and Response (CDR), driving the vision for how we detect and respond to cloud threats.
Design detection strategies across agentless and agent-based telemetry sources, focusing on quality and detecting what matters.
Perform novel security research to uncover attacker tradecraft, techniques, and behaviors in cloud environments, informing both product direction and external research.
Apply detection-as-code principles to build production-grade detections that ship directly in the Tenable Cloud Security platform.
Stay current with emerging cloud threats and translate threat intelligence into actionable detection logic and product capabilities.
Write and speak about cloud threats, adversary tradecraft, and detection methodologies to strengthen Tenable's voice in cloud security.
