Were growing and looking to hire a Vulnerability Research Team Lead who embodies our core values: People First, Customer Obsession, Strive for Excellence, and Integrity.
About the Company:
A global leader in cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection, dedicated to securing the critical infrastructure that keeps the world running. Were a fast-growing, award-winning team where innovation meets purpose-and we want you to help us define the future of cybersecurity.
Our technology strategy is focused on solving real-world cyber-physical security problems at scale through robust, distributed, cloud-native architectures. We design and evolve a unified platform that serves as the technological backbone for all our products, delivering deep visibility across CPS environments-without disrupting critical operations. Our architecture emphasizes scalability, resilience, and extensibility to support both cloud and on-prem deployments.
About the Role:
As a Vulnerability Research Team Lead, you will lead a world-class group of vulnerability researchers in analyzing complex cyber-physical systems. You will balance hands-on technical excellence with people management, guiding your team through deep-dive disassembly, code audits, and exploit development. You will be responsible for the team's research roadmap, ensuring we stay ahead of emerging threats while fostering a culture of innovation and professional growth.
Responsibilities
As a Vulnerability Research Team Lead, your impact will be:
Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, hire, and develop a team of high-performing Vulnerability Researchers, fostering a collaborative and high-standard environment.
Research Strategy: Define and execute the team's research roadmap, prioritizing targets that provide the highest value to our customers and products.
Technical Oversight: Provide expert guidance on static/dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, and exploit development projects.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with R&D, Product Management, and Threat Intelligence teams to translate research findings into actionable security features.
Thought Leadership: Represent our research in the industry through blogs, whitepapers, or conference presentations (BlackHat, DEF CON, etc.).
Requirements: What you need to succeed in this role:
Leadership Experience: At least 2+ years of experience leading a technical team or serving as a technical lead in a research-heavy environment.
Reverse Engineering Mastery: Extensive hands-on experience with tools such as IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, or Ghidra.
Deep Security Background: Proven track record in vulnerability research (VR), including advanced exploit development and program analysis.
AI-Driven Research Capabilities: Proven hands-on experience integrating advanced AI tools and LLMs (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) into research workflows, leveraging them to accelerate code analysis, script automation, or vulnerability discovery.
Programming Excellence: Proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with the ability to review complex code and guide technical architecture.
System Internals Expert: Deep understanding of OS internals (Memory, Process management) and low-level architectures (x86/64, ARM, MIPS).
Communication Skills: Ability to translate complex technical vulnerabilities into clear business risks for stakeholders.
Bonus Points for:
Experience in OT/ICS cybersecurity or embedded systems.
Proven track record of published CVEs or research papers.
Experience with automated vulnerability discovery (Fuzzing, Symbolic Execution).
This position is open to all candidates.
