  • Deep enterprise forensics expertise across host-based (Windows, macOS, Linux), network, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace), and application evidence, including memory analysis and large-scale log correlation

  • Working knowledge of malware analysis, and experience querying SIEM and EDR data with KQL, SPL, FQL, or SQL
  • Sound judgment evaluating automated or AI-generated analysis: knowing when to trust it, how to test it, and when to go back to the raw evidence
More about this role

7AI is the foundational AI security company. Founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, we came out of stealth in February 2025 to take on the non-human work of the SOC. Our platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence, with humans on the loop.

Backed by $166 million in total funding from investors including Index Ventures and Blackstone, we're building the AI foundation for security operations in the agentic era, and we're still early. That's the appeal: you'll join at a pivotal stage where your work shapes what 7AI becomes, alongside security veterans who've built this before. Our culture runs on respect, collaboration, and a shared bar for excellence, all pointed at one goal, delivering real outcomes for the customers who trust us to defend them.
