About the role

We are looking for a Security Researcher specializing in Windows and macOS threat detection to join our small, focused Threat Intelligence and Research team.
You'll be a direct contributor to both our EDR and Vulnerability products - bringing research depth that spans threat detection and the full vulnerability lifecycle.
You'll also help raise the team's external profile through published research and conference talks.

Perform in-depth analysis of malware and adversarial behavior across Windows and macOS to identify detection opportunities.
Develop and enhance detection rules and behavioral analytics for both platforms, integrated into our EDR product.
Collaborate with engineering teams to incorporate detection logic into our cross-platform security agent.
Research and develop new vulnerability detection methods.
Document and communicate research findings clearly, both internally and externally.
Proven experience developing file-based and behavioral detections for endpoints (YARA, Sigma).

Experience with malware analysis tools and techniques (Binary Ninja, WinDbg, Sysinternals, or Mac Monitor).
Strong understanding of OS internals and endpoint security mechanisms on Windows and/or macOS (Endpoint Security APIs).
Demonstrated ability to communicate research externally - blog posts, conference talks, or published work.
3-5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with hands-on focus on malware analysis and threat research across Windows and/or macOS.

Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate threat research, detection development, and analysis workflows.
Familiarity with both Windows and macOS threat landscapes and platform-specific attack techniques.
Proficiency with security-focused scripting and data analysis (Python, PowerShell, Bash, etc.).
If you're someone who wants to engage in new, exciting projects that will challenge your skills in the best way possible, we would love to connect with you.
We know that diverse teams are strong teams, and welcome those from all backgrounds and varying experiences.
