Head of Researchניהול

We're looking for a Head of Research to lead Guardio Labs - the research group at the core of how Guardio works. What Labs uncovers becomes the detections that ship to production, the signals that train our models, and the product bets we make next.

You may already know our work : HermeticReader, AccountDumping, GoogleFix, SubdoMailing, EchoSpoofing, CVE-2024-21388 in Microsoft Edge, 0-days in Opera, and the first serious research on how agentic AI browsers get scammed - covered by Forbes, Dark Reading, PCMag, and more. That's the bar. You'll own raising it.

This is a true player-coach role, reporting directly to our executive management. You'll build and lead the team while keeping your hands firmly on the keyboard - because the person setting the research agenda should be the kind who stays up unpacking a phishing kit they just had to understand.

You will:

Build the team: hire researchers, define what "great" looks like, and grow analysts into hunters who follow a lead wherever it goes - with headcount and runway to do it right.

Set the research agenda: decide where we hunt and what deserves our firepower - phishing kits, scam infrastructure, malvertising, malicious extensions, messaging abuse, and techniques that don't have a name yet.

Hunt alongside your team: investigate leads end-to-end across web, email, SMS, calls, and social platforms; reverse-engineer payloads, kits, and attacker infrastructure until the whole operation is mapped.

Drive innovation across the product: work with analysts, engineers, and product leadership to turn discoveries into shipped protections - in days, not quarters - with a real voice in what Guardio builds next.

Own the threat knowledgebase: build the systems and automation that turn raw telemetry from 1M+ users into structured intelligence and the anomaly that becomes next month's headline.

Put Guardio Labs on the map: drive publications the industry actually reads, own responsible disclosure with major vendors, and represent Guardio at conferences and in the press.

Sounds great! Am I the right fit?

You might be the person we're looking for if you check many of the following:

Elite intelligence unit background - where you learned to chase signals through noise, connect dots no one else sees, and never let a lead go cold.
