The Team Our research team is at the core of our products and connected directly to the mission of preventing cyberattacks. We are constantly innovating – challenging the way we, and the industry, think about cybersecurity. Our researchers dont shy away from building products to solve problems no one has pursued before. We define the industry instead of waiting for directions. We need individuals who feel comfortable in ambiguity, excited by the prospect of a challenge, and empowered by the unknown risks facing our everyday lives that are only enabled by a secure digital environment. Job Summary If you are an innovator at heart and passionate about redefining how organizations secure modern environments end-to-end, we're looking for you. As a Manager of the Core Cloud Posture team, you will lead a new, high-impact team of security researchers. You'll innovate and build on top of our market-leading posture portfolio and be responsible for the "what's next." Your mission is to innovate on top of this foundation, build the intelligent "connective tissue" that provides unparalleled context, and architect the next-generation features that will keep us ahead of the market. Key Responsibilities Lead, and grow a team of talented security researchers focused on enhancing the cloud security posture of our customers Act as a technical mentor and force multiplier for junior security researchers. You will actively share your deep industry experience, guide their research methodologies, and foster a learning environment that accelerates their professional development from talented juniors into autonomous experts Champion the continuous evolution of our security logic. You will ensure our posture coverage keeps pace with the rapidly changing cloud landscape, systematically addressing gaps and refining our policies to address evolving threats Leverage our advanced cross-product engines to synthesize isolated findings into a cohesive, prioritized story of risk for the customer Stay ahead of the evolving cloud threat landscape, translating the latest research on cloud-native based attacks into resilient posture policies that effectively minimize the attack surface Foster collaboration across engineering, product management, and go-to-market teams to deliver impactful security solutions
Requirements:
Required Qualifications 5+ years in security research with a focus on Cloud Security Posture. You bring a proven track record of either protecting complex organizational clouds or authoring scalable posture policies for a security platform 2+ years in a leadership or management role, including mentoring researchers, managing roadmaps, and setting research strategy in a fast-paced environment Deep expertise in cloud-native architecture across major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). You possess a strong grasp of how cloud environments are architected, focusing on core components like Compute, Storage, Networking, and Identity, and the unique security challenges they present Deep domain expertise, Comprehensive knowledge of the broader cloud-native security landscape (e.g. CSPM, DSPM, CIEM, AISPM). You deeply understand how these tools operate, their mechanics, and how they are applied to solve real-world security challenges Proficient in hands-on coding and scripting (e.g., Python, Go) for automation and building POC scanners Experience working with large-scale data pipelines and analytics (e.g., GCP BigQuery, Dataflow, Snowflake) to analyze vast amounts of cloud metadata Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex research findings (like data exposure paths) to both technical and business stakeholders Advantages Experience with AI/LLM Security. Familiarity with securing AI pipelines, understanding LLM vulnerabilities (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage), or experience with AISPM frameworks Infrastructure as Code (IaC) mastery.
