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.

You will manage and grow a team of world-class researchers, work closely with product, engineering and go-to-market teams, and ensure our research remains cutting-edge, rigorous and impactful. This role emphasizes strong people leadership and cross-functional execution, alongside technical depth and hands-on research judgment.
What youll do :
Develop, own and evolve the research strategy by defining high value focus areas (for example misconfigurations, identity threats, workload vulnerabilities, and emerging attack techniques), and ensure alignment with product roadmap and business objectives.
Lead, coach, and mentor a multidisciplinary research team (researchers, threat analysts, and engineers).
Build a healthy, high-performing org, including hiring, onboarding, and performance management.
Partner closely with product and engineering leadership to turn research insights into concrete roadmap items, detection logic, and customer value.
Drive discovery of new vulnerabilities, attack techniques, or adversary behaviors across cloud and modern infrastructure environments (for example containers, serverless, data stores, IAM).
Define metrics for research impact (for example vulnerabilities discovered, time to validate and operationalize new findings, research-driven product improvements, external reach).
Establish and maintain external partnerships (industry peers, academic groups, independent researchers) to expand capabilities and pipeline.
Publish and present research findings (blog posts, white papers, conference talks).
Lead vulnerability disclosure and responsible communications.
Ensure the research function has the right infrastructure and processes (tooling, sandboxes, repeatable experimentation, documentation standards).
Stay current with the threat landscape, emerging technologies, attacker tradecraft, and relevant compliance or regulatory shifts.

We are seeking a Principal/Senior Security Researcher to lead proactive research into emerging abuse patterns across agentic and modern endpoint environments. This includes browser extensions, SaaS- and web-delivered code, autonomous agents, MCPs and related tooling, and other forms of non-binary software that do not fit neatly into a traditional malware-focused model.
In this role, you will define and drive independent research initiatives rather than simply respond to predefined queues. You will conduct deep technical investigations, including reverse engineering, telemetry analysis, controlled experimentation, and data-driven validation, and translate your findings into actionable outcomes for the product. These may include detection concepts with clear success criteria, recommendations for new telemetry or platform behavior, and concise technical narratives for engineering, product, executive, or customer-facing audiences.
You will act as a senior research partner to engineering and product leadership, helping shape priorities around what to instrument, what to build, what to retire, and how to reason about ambiguous signals in production environments. The role requires strong technical judgment, strategic thinking, and the ability to turn complex research into evidence-backed product impact.
Key Responsibilities
Define and execute proactive research programs: novel attack surfaces (e.g., browser extensions, SaaS-delivered code, autonomous agents, MCP/tooling ecosystems), long-horizon threats, and systemic gaps in visibility or detection.
Perform deep technical analysis beyond routine triage: reverse engineering, behavioral modeling, data-driven hypothesis testing, and rigorous validation of findings at scale.
Set direction for how research translates into product and detection: prioritization frameworks, threat models, evaluation criteria, and standards of evidence for shipping high-impact changes.
Partner with senior engineering and product stakeholders to shape roadmap, telemetry, and architecture informed by research; influence design tradeoffs before issues appear in the field.
Lead complex, ambiguous investigations end-to-end and synthesize conclusions for executive and customer-facing audiences when stakes are high.
Represent the team through high-quality technical artifacts (e.g., in-depth publications, conference-quality work, or equivalent internal briefings) that establish external and internal credibility.
