Find what's exposed and fix what matters, before attackers do. Real-world hacker research at machine speed. Trusted by 2,100+ teams. Backed by Insight.
About the role
Stay on top of the latest security research, disclosures and techniques, and figure out which ones we can and should turn into scalable detection. Research new attack vectors and vulnerability classes that can be automated, and identify where we can source them. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience finding and exploiting live vulnerabilities, for example through bug bounty programs, CVEs, CTFs, penetration testing or published research
- Deep knowledge of web application security and common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10 and beyond)
- Solid programming or scripting skills (for example Python or Go) and the ability to turn an idea into a working proof-of-concept
- Curiosity about using LLMs and AI agents in offensive security, or experience building with them already
- The ability to explain technical findings clearly to engineers, customers and non-security stakeholders
