What We're Looking For 4+ years of experience in security research, application security, vulnerability research, penetration testing, red teaming, or a related field Strong understanding of common application and infrastructure vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques Experience investigating vulnerabilities and understanding how they can be exploited in real-world environments Strong programming skills and the ability to build scripts, tools, and proof-of-concepts Experience with code-level analysis and modern software development stacks Ability to independently investigate complex technical problems and turn findings into practical solutions Strong understanding of how modern applications and infrastructure work - and how they can break Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly A curious, creative, and highly hands-on mindset Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and work effectively with cross-functional teams The DNA We're Looking For Researcher at heart: You enjoy going down the rabbit hole to understand how things actually work Builder: You don't stop at identifying a problem - you build the tools and capabilities to solve it Curious by default: You constantly ask "what if?" and explore unconventional ways systems can fail Systems thinker: You understand how vulnerabilities, applications, infrastructure, and environments connect Pragmatic: You know how to turn deep technical research into something useful and scalable Ownership-driven: You are comfortable with ambiguity and take initiative to define the path forward
