About the Role
The Role We're building AI systems that push the frontier of what software can do. As a Member of Technical Staff, Vulnerability Research, you'll operate like an internal adversary - discovering novel attack paths before anyone else does. You'll research emerging threats across AI agents, cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and production systems, partnering closely with engineering to make our stack fundamentally more resilient.
What You'll Do
- Conduct advanced offensive security research across cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), production services, internal tooling, and AI platforms.
- Design and execute realistic adversary simulations targeting identity systems, cloud control planes, supply chains, and distributed architectures.
- Discover and exploit vulnerabilities across proprietary applications, APIs, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-powered developer workflows.
- Research emerging attack vectors against LLMs, AI agents, retrieval systems, MCP integrations, prompt orchestration, and autonomous workflows.
- Reverse engineer critical services to uncover architectural weaknesses, novel exploitation techniques, and previously unknown vulnerability classes.
- Simulate insider and advanced persistent threat scenarios, evaluating privilege escalation, lateral movement, and defense evasion techniques across modern enterprise environments.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: Multi-Cloud Exploitation, Red Teaming, Strategic Remediation, Control Validation
- Proven experience in offensive security, vulnerability research, red teaming, or exploit development.
- Deep understanding of cloud security across AWS and GCP, including IAM, networking, Kubernetes, containers, and identity systems.
- Strong background in application security, code auditing, reverse engineering, and vulnerability discovery.
- Experience identifying weaknesses across modern software supply chains, CI/CD systems, APIs, and infrastructure automation.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, Rust, C/C++, or similar languages used for security research and offensive tooling.
- Strong understanding of operating system internals, networking, authentication protocols, and modern security architectures.
- Ability to independently investigate ambiguous problems and develop novel attack techniques.
