Principal Security Researcher

Working closely with threat intelligence experts, data and applied scientists, engineers, and product teams, you will combine threat knowledge with large-scale security data to develop customer-specific finished intelligence and broader insights into emerging threats, attacker behavior, exposure, and protection trends. Lead research that transforms threat intelligence and large-scale security telemetry into actionable security intelligence, identifying emerging threats and attacker behavior, assessing customer impact and protection effectiveness, and translating complex evidence into defensible conclusions and prioritized actions for security practitioners and leaders. Establish and evolve analytical methodologies, research standards, and quality criteria that enable rigorous, repeatable, and scalable analysis and set a high bar for customer-specific and broader finished intelligence. Rapidly prototype, validate, and iterate on new intelligence capabilities, incorporating feedback from customers and security practitioners while leveraging AI to accelerate research, analysis, experimentation, and the path from concept to scalable solution. Provide Principal-level technical and industry leadership by shaping research direction, mentoring researchers, communicating complex findings to technical and executive audiences, and influencing security investments and product direction through research insights.
