The successful candidate will bring a strong R&D, with a natural curiosity and discipline to stay at the forefront of the security and AI research landscape — actively identifying new research opportunities.

You will work closely with engineering, architecture, and risk teams to embed security intelligence across the firm’s technology landscape.

• Perform deep vulnerability research on emerging attack surfaces including LLM‑based systems, AI pipelines, model inference endpoints, and prompt injection vectors.
• Design, build, and maintain AI harnesses capable of performing security‑related tasks, including autonomous vulnerability scanning agents, AI‑driven exploit classification systems, intelligent threat detection models, and LLM‑assisted code analysis engines.
• Research and prototype novel attack techniques and defensive countermeasures, and contribute findings to internal knowledge bases, threat models, and security engineering standards.
• Analyze source code using both manual review and AI‑augmented static analysis to identify and mitigate security weaknesses, logic flaws, and injection vulnerabilities across polyglot codebases.
• Conduct offensive security assessments and penetration testing against applications, infrastructure, and AI/ML systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
• Identify opportunities to automate and standardize information security controls using AI‑driven pipelines, reducing manual effort and improving detection fidelity across supported groups.

• 6+ years of experience in Cyber Security or related field.
• Master’s degree in computer science, Cyber Security or related field with a minimum of 3 years of experience in a penetration testing or application development role.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Cyber Security or related field with a minimum of 5 years of experience in a penetration testing or application development role.
