Were looking for a Cloud Security Researcher to drive runtime threat research for our Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) capabilities - understanding how attackers behave inside live cloud workloads and turning that into detections that protect our customers. As a senior member of the team, youll also mentor our junior researcher.
On a typical day youll:
Research attacker tradecraft against live cloud workloads - compute, containers, Kubernetes, serverless - covering execution, privilege escalation, persistence, lateral movement, and evasion
Analyze telemetry from AWS CloudTrail, GCP Audit Logs, Azure Activity Logs, and runtime/sensor data to investigate threats and translate findings into detection logic
Partner with sensor and detection engineers on feasibility, coverage, and signal quality
Run threat simulations and attack emulation to validate coverage and surface gaps
Track emerging threats and CVEs across AWS, Azure, and GCP, feeding them into detection priorities
Produce externally publishable research - blog posts, whitepapers, threat reports - and represent us at conferences and webinars
Mentor our junior researcher in detection engineering, runtime analysis, and research rigor.

We're looking for a talented Applied Security Researcher to join our team and play a major role in our frontier research team, enabling contextual code understanding across complex cloud deployments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Investigate the Code, Cloud, and AI technologies that we integrate with and protects, answering key research questions to unlock new features and product areas.
Design and build high-quality functional prototypes, driving abstract product ideas from inception into working PoCs and supporting development teams through initial implementation.
Conduct technical research to model risks and attack vectors specific to modern cloud- and AI-native architectures and systems.
Define and implement novel agentic workflows and advanced methods to express consistent contextual understanding of evolving application and cloud environments.

we are looking for a Senior Security Analyst to join our research team. In this role, you will help uncover critical security risks in cloud, SaaS, and AI environments, with a strong focus on AI Agents & Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security.

You will own hands-on security research across active customer POCs, conducting deep-dive security research on their environments, identifying vulnerabilities, surfacing real risks, and delivering clear remediation steps. Utilizing cutting-edge platform alongside hands-on manual research, you will translate complex security gaps into high-impact insights and executive reports, helping shape the way organizations secure machine and AI-driven identities at scale.

What We Do
The Frontier of Identity Security: a pioneering startup in the AI Agent & Non-Human Identity (NHI) security space.
Research-Driven Value: Our team focuses on IAM security across cloud, SaaS, and GenAI/AI Agent infrastructures, working hands-on with customer environments.
Customer Journey Partners: Analysts play a critical role in POCs, uncovering misconfigurations and building actionable Security Reports that move deals and guide customers toward a stronger security posture.
Cross-Functional Impact: Youll bridge the gap between technical research and business value, collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Sales to drive product enhancements and help close strategic deals.
Your Responsibilities
Lead Security Research in POCs: Conduct hands-on security analysis of customer environments using platform, manual techniques, and advanced AI tools to optimize your research workflow.
Manual Environment Analysis: Deep-dive into customer architectures using APIs, access keys, and to expose weaknesses in IAM, machine identities, and AI agent permissions.
Deliver Actionable Insights: turn complex findings into high-level, impactful Security Reports that outline significant risks and provide clear, step-by-step remediation guidance.
Drive Product & Sales Excellence: Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to share insights from the field and help improve the platform.

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 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.

We're looking for a threat Security Researcher to own the "right" side of the platform - from live cloud workloads and the eBPF telemetry they emit, through adversary behavior in containers and Kubernetes, into the AI systems and agents now embedded in production. You'll hunt down how novel attack techniques actually unfold at runtime - the credential theft, the lateral movement, the abuse of a model or an MCP tool - then turn that research into the detection logic that runs over our vast runtime telemetry and powers real-time threat protection. This role sits at the intersection of threat research, cloud, AI security, and detection engineering.
Conduct deep technical research into modern cloud environments and AI systems and discover novel attack techniques.
Lead product initiatives in the threats domain from inception to production. Collaborate closely with product, backend, and GTM, translating research into product capabilities.
Define and create complex detection logic over our vast telemetry, with a focus on coverage that scales across customer environments.
Identify gaps in detection coverage and evaluate detection quality. ensuring security logic is reliable and impactful.
Stay up to date with the evolving threat landscape (threat intelligence, campaigns) and incorporate into our product
Contribute to PR presence - technical research content, talks, open-source tooling.
