Research and prototype novel approaches to application security that go beyond traditional AppSec tooling.
Build proofs-of-concept for advanced prevention, detection, triage, and remediation capabilities.
Design experiments and validate new security features through data-driven testing.
Partner with product and engineering to bring successful POCs into the core platform.
Evaluate and optimize LLM-based agents and model outputs for security use cases.

We are seeking a visionary and highly technical Principal / Sr. Principal Security Researcher to join our security research team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of innovating automated defense systems to rapidly protect platform customers against advanced cyber threats at an unprecedented scale. This position offers a unique opportunity to blend deep traditional cybersecurity expertise - including OS internals, reverse engineering, and advanced detection engineering with cutting-edge AI technologies like LLMs, SLMs, and agentic workflows.
You will spearhead the creation of innovative prevention solutions, leveraging massive streams of agent telemetry to design AI-driven logic that neutralizes threats before they execute. As a key technical leader, you will partner closely with top-tier data scientists and product engineers to translate cutting-edge security research into production-grade capabilities, ensuring we stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape.
Key Responsibilities
Develop Automated Defense Systems:Create, engineer, and deploy automated solutions for the prevention and detection of advanced cyber threats, analyzing complex data to rapidly protect platform customers at scale.

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.

We're looking for a Security Researcher to join our team at the intersection of security research, AI, and product. This isn't a traditional research role - you'll be deeply embedded in how the platform is built, working side by side with R&D, Product, and AI teams to make sure security expertise is baked into every layer of what we ship. You'll own detection and analytics research across cloud, identity, endpoint, and beyond, while actively shaping how AI capabilities are applied to solve real security problems at scale.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
Research and develop sophisticated detections and behavioral analytics across multiple security landscapes - cloud, identity, endpoint, network, and application - with a focus on coverage that scales across customer environments.
Work closely with R&D, Product, and AI teams as the security authority - reviewing features, shaping designs, and ensuring security logic is sound, practical, and impactful.
Apply an AI-native approach to detection and analytics challenges - leveraging LLMs, ML signals, and AI-assisted workflows to do things that rule-based approaches can't.
Identify gaps in detection coverage and analytical capabilities, and drive those findings directly into the product roadmap.
Analyze real-world attacker techniques and translate them into detection logic, hunting content, and analytical frameworks that ship as part of the platform.
Evaluate detection quality rigorously - measuring fidelity, coverage, and performance against real attacker behavior and production telemetry.
Stay sharp on the evolving threat landscape and rapidly incorporate new techniques, campaigns, and attacker tooling into our detection library.
Contribute to external research output - blog posts, talks, open-source tooling - that reflects our depth and point of view in the security community.
