Key Responsibilities
Offensive Research: Discover new attack vectors, abuse patterns, and security gaps in browsers, web applications, OS internals, and enterprise workflows.
Defensive Engineering: Design and implement detections, mitigations, and security policies informed by your offensive findings; close the loop from attack to protection.
Vulnerability & Malware Analysis: Perform reverse engineering on malware, exploits, and obfuscated code across Windows, macOS, and browser environments.
Web & Browser Security: Research techniques ranging from classic vulnerabilities (XSS, SSRF) to browser-specific primitives (extension abuse, DOM manipulation, same-origin bypasses).
Supply-Chain Security: Investigate threats in software supply chains, including browser extension marketplaces and package registries.
Threat Intelligence: Correlate signals across multiple sources to identify malicious infrastructure and adversary TTPs.
Public Impact: Write technical blog posts, publish research, and represent at major security conferences (Black Hat, DEF CON, etc.).
5+ years of experience in at least one of the following: security research, vulnerability research, malware analysis, threat intelligence, or detection engineering
Offensive security mindset with the ability to flip to the defensive side – finding attacks and building mitigations
Strong analytical skills – comfortable digging into unfamiliar code, protocols, or systems and figuring out how they break
Familiarity with operating system internals (Windows and/or macOS)
Hands-on experience with reverse engineering or dynamic/static analysis tools
Ability to write code for automation, tooling, and proof-of-concepts
Strong written and verbal communication – ability to write compelling research and present at conferences
