we are seeking a Senior Security Researcher to join our highly technical product research team working at the core of our security products.
This is a rare opportunity to join an elite security research team and do work that directly shapes our AI and Cloud products. Your research will span cloud infrastructure, AI systems, emerging platforms, and modern architectures.
You will perform novel security research, inform product direction, and contribute to our company's thought leadership in cloud and AI security.
We are looking for an exceptional security researcher who thrives on variety and can quickly develop expertise in new areas.
Your Role:
Drive research direction across multiple domains including cloud security, AI security, and emerging threat landscapes.
Perform novel security research to uncover new attack vectors, and adversary techniques across cloud and AI systems.
Translate research findings into actionable product capabilities, detection logic, and risk prioritization guidance.
Stay current with evolving threats across cloud platforms and AIecosystems, identifying where our company should invest next.
Write and speak about security research to strengthen our company's voice in cloud and AI security.
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate research into shipped capabilities.

As a Security Researcher , you will play a key role in shaping the future of modern runtime and AI security. You will investigate how real-world attacks unfold across applications and cloud environments, and turn those insights into innovative, production-grade security capabilities.

This role is ideal for a deeply technical researcher who is driven to understand attacks at their core - not just identify surface-level indicators. You will research exploitation chains, runtime behavior, attacker techniques, and emerging AI attack patterns, then apply that knowledge to build protections that are precise, resilient, scalable, and grounded in how attacks actually work.

Specifically, you will:

Research real-world attack techniques targeting modern applications, cloud-native environments, and AI-driven systems.
Design, develop, validate, and deploy detection algorithms based on technical research, large-scale runtime telemetry, threat intelligence, and exploit PoCs.
Shape the strategy for detection data collection by defining the required telemetry, collection points, and data quality standards needed to support effective protection.
Drive research efforts end-to-end, from initial exploration and technical investigation to production-grade protection capabilities for active threats.
Work closely with engineering and product teams to turn research into practical security capabilities.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of offensive security and AI - and to have your expertise shape a platform used at enterprise scale. As an Security Researcher, you will push the boundaries of what autonomous agents can achieve.

Your goal is to conduct cutting-edge research into novel attack vectors and vulnerabilities, using those insights to both sharpen our AI and lead the industry conversation on AI-driven security. Youll work alongside a tight-knit team building excellent software in the security space.

Responsibilites
Original Research: Develop new attack strategies and offensive testing techniques for web, network and AI targets, and translate real-world knowledge into improvements for the AI agent
Thought Leadership: Produce high-quality technical content, including research papers, stage demonstrations, or technical blog posts that showcase unique capabilities and security philosophy.
Public Advocacy: Represent research at major security conferences and industry events.
AI Enhancement: Part of the team improving the AI hacker to make it more dangerous and creative.
Collaboration: Work closely with AI and engineering teams to continuously improve agent capabilities and ensure research findings are integrated into the product.

As an AI Security Researcher , you will play a key role in shaping the future of modern runtime AI security. You will investigate how real-world attacks unfold across AI-enabled applications, agents, tools, executed in cloud environments, and turn those insights into innovative, production-grade security capabilities across our AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) and AI Detection & Response (AI-DR) products.

This role is ideal for a deeply technical researcher who is driven to understand AI attacks at their core - not just identify suspicious prompts or surface-level indicators. You will research how prompt injection, tool misuse, agent drift, model abuse, and other emerging AI attack techniques translate into real runtime behavior and security impact. You will then apply that knowledge to build protections that are precise, resilient, scalable, and grounded in how attacks actually work in production.

Specifically, you will:

Research real-world attacks targeting models, agents, MCP/tooling ecosystems, RAG applications, and AI-enabled production systems.
Drive research end-to-end - explore, design, develop, validate, and deploy detection logic and protections based on runtime telemetry, exploit PoCs, technical analysis, and threat intelligence.
Shape AI-SPM capabilities by identifying what telemetry, signals, and modeling are required to continuously discover AI components, classify AI behavior, map risk, and detect unsafe or anomalous usage in production.
Shape AI-DR capabilities by researching how to detect AI-driven attacks, prove runtime impact, establish causality, and distinguish failed attempts from real compromise.
Work closely with engineering and product teams to turn deep technical research into practical security capabilities that deliver clear customer value.
