As a Senior Offensive Security Researcher you will join a global team working across Windows, Linux and macOS, spanning Endpoint, Cloud and Identity - and push the boundaries of cybersecurity every day! You will research evasions against our own sensors, track the offensive tooling landscape and drive innovative research that anticipates the next generation of attacker tradecraft.

What will you do?
Primary responsibilities include:
- Proactively look for the newest and most sophisticated attack techniques, deeply research and understand their internals, and emulate these attacks to assess and improve our detection engines.
- Build tools to support detection assessments, create proofs-of-concept for the newest techniques and contribute to the design of innovative detection strategies.
- Work closely with our Threat-Intelligence team and engineering detection teams to provide guidance and highlight gaps in our detection and visibility capabilities.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?
Ideal candidates will have:
- 4+ years of experience in Red Teaming / Security Research / Offensive Research with a deep understanding of Windows internals.
- Hands-on experience with coding in Python and C/C++.
- Deep understanding of the malware world (how malware operates, infamous families, evasion and exploitation techniques).
- Experience in malware analysis (statically and dynamically) and reverse engineering (x86/x64)
- Understanding of existing EDRs internals.
- Experience writing detection signatures.
- Experience leveraging agentic AI workflows for malware analysis and detection engineering tasks (reverse engineering, code auditing, signature writing).
- Proven track record of conference speaking at security conferences or publications is an advantage
