About the Role
Weβre looking for a Senior Security Researcher to drive high-impact research across cloud, runtime, and application environments, and translate it into product-grade detections. This hands-on role involves leading investigations end-to-end, from understanding attacker tradecraft to influencing product direction.
Key Responsibilities
- βLead deep-dive research into real-world attacks, vulnerabilities, and emerging cloud and runtime techniques
- βOwn complex investigations (DFIR, threat hunting, root-cause analysis) and convert learnings into durable detections
- βDesign and implement advanced detection logic and analytics across cloud assets, containers, Kubernetes, and Linux runtime telemetry
- βBuild prototypes and production-ready components that improve detection accuracy, fidelity, and coverage
- βPartner closely with engineering and product to shape roadmap priorities and guide implementation details
- βDevelop research methodologies, testing frameworks, and validation processes for new detections
- βMentor and level up other researchers and engineers through reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance
- βRepresent the team externally through publications, technical blogs, and conference talks
Requirements
- β7+ years of experience in security research, detection engineering, incident response, or comparable hands-on security roles
- βDemonstrated expertise in at least two of the following areas: Linux internals, Cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP), DFIR, threat hunting, and vulnerability research
- βStrong programming skills in Python (Go is a strong plus)
- βStrong data skills: comfortable working with large telemetry datasets (SQL and log analytics platforms such as Elastic or similar)
- βAbility to reason about attacker behavior, build threat models, and validate detections with repeatable testing
- βExcellent written and verbal English communication
- βTrack record of driving cross-team execution and shipping impactful security capabilities
