We are seeking a Senior / Principal Security Researcher to join our high-caliber Security ML Team. Our team solves complex security challenges using disruptive technologies, AI/ML algorithms, and massive datasets to design and develop groundbreaking security solutions that transition directly from research into production-grade protection.
In this role, you will serve as the core security domain expert within a multidisciplinary team, providing essential security-side expertise to assist in the development of ML models, deeplearning models, and Small Language Models (SLMs). By translating complex malware behaviors and static file attributes into actionable logic, your research will directly shape the algorithms that protect millions of endpoints worldwide. If you are looking to autonomously drive high-impact research initiatives from inception to production and use data-informed critical thinking to influence advanced security modeling, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
The Bridge to the AI Ecosystem: Serve as the core security domain expert within a multidisciplinary team, translating complex malware behaviors and static file attributes into actionable features, labels, or heuristics-fueling AI algorithms and automated, data-driven security logic.
Telemetry & Sensor Optimization:Analyze raw endpoint telemetry (such as memory buffers, hook outputs, and IPC artifacts) to evaluate algorithm effectiveness and work with AI researchers to tweak or implement new models..
Deconstruct File Behavior: Look past the "black box" of machine learning by digging into executable formats (PE, ELF, Mach-O) and scripts to identify malicious behavior(e.g., packing, anomalous imports, obfuscation).
Drive Intelligent Protections:Take a security hypothesis, validate it via data analysis, and build Python-based proof-of-concepts that scale into production-grade detections-spanning machine learning classifiers to AI-informed automated rule generation.
Shape the Pipeline: Influence data pipeline strategies and model design by ensuring our datasets and automated logic accurately capture the ground truth of modern threat landscapes.

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 Threat Hunting Expert to join our team and shape the future of threat detection. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of identifying and analyzing emerging threats, helping to shape the features of our Threat Detection platform. You'll be crafting detection logic and hunting strategies that enable security teams to identify and respond to advanced threats across their entire environment.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

Work directly with customers to help them solve concrete security pain points and operational use cases using , primarily during POVs and onboarding.
Perform advanced threat hunting across customer datasets to identify meaningful security findings, including compromise evidence, exploitation indications, suspicious activities, and visibility or posture gaps.
Build and evolve internal tools and AI-powered capabilities that support threat hunting, anomaly detection, and exploratory analysis.
Translate immediate customer security needs into ad-hoc security content, including detections, threat hunting notebooks, and investigative workflows.
Participate in customer-facing sessions alongside Sales Engineers and Technical Account Managers to present findings, explain security context, and walk through capabilities and content.
Deliver technical demonstrations, workshops, trainings, and hands-on sessions that show customers how to use for their security workflows.
Research emerging threats, including new CVEs and active campaigns, in collaboration with the CTI team, and translate them into immediate detections and threat hunting content.
Publish public-facing technical content on threat hunting and SecOps, including blog posts, webinars, open-source tools, and research findings.

We are currently hiring for multiple Security Research positions across our Microsoft Defender Research teams in Israel. By applying to this unified pipeline, you will be considered for a high-impact role (at either the Security Researcher II or Senior Security Researcher role) within one of our specialized groups, including Autonomous Attack Disruption, Cloud Workload Protection, Identity Research, Posture Research, or Security for AI.

We are looking for passionate, highly skilled security researchers who thrive on the challenge of breaking complex attacker kill-chains. Leveraging Microsofts dominant market position and the worlds most massive telemetry set, you will have a direct, tangible impact on the security of the global economy. We are looking for researchers who want to see their findings transformed into production-ready protection, where the ultimate goal is not just to detect threats, but to prevent and stop them in near real-time.

Responsibilities

Investigate real world advanced attacker TTPs to develop high-fidelity protection signals, and robust logic across complex kill-chains.

Design and implement innovative capabilities that autonomously prevent, detect and disrupt sophisticated threats in near real-time.

Infuse deep security expertise into the analysis of massive telemetry sets using big-data query languages, reasoning over data to identify novel malicious patterns, and drive evidence-based research decisions.

Partner with engineering and product teams to share research insights, validate protection concepts, and push ideas forward into production-ready protection at a global scale.

Contribute expert insights to a strategic feedback loop by analyzing real-world attack data and telemetry to refine protection coverage and accuracy.

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.
