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.

Were looking for driven and talented people like you to join our team and our mission to change the future of cloud security. Ready to dive in and swim with our pod?
As the Head of Research, you will lead Securitys threat-research, security-innovation, and vulnerability-discovery efforts. You will define the strategy for how we uncover threats, identify novel attack vectors, influence product direction, and contribute thought leadership to the cybersecurity community. 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.
