Company

hirify.global is a high-growth, well-capitalized cybersecurity unicorn pioneering agentless cloud security technology.

What you will do

• Lead deep-dive research into real-world attacks, vulnerabilities, and emerging cloud and runtime techniques.
• Own complex investigations (DFIR, threat hunting, root-cause analysis) and convert learnings into durable detections.
• Design and implement advanced detection logic and analytics across cloud assets, containers, Kubernetes, and Linux runtime telemetry.
• Build prototypes and production-ready components to improve detection accuracy, fidelity, and coverage.
• Partner closely with engineering and product to shape roadmap priorities and guide implementation details.
• Develop research methodologies, testing frameworks, and validation processes for new detections.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in security research, detection engineering, incident response, or comparable hands-on security roles.
• Demonstrated expertise in at least two of the following areas: Linux internals/operating systems fundamentals, cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP), DFIR/threat hunting, vulnerability research/management, or application/API security fundamentals.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Strong data skills, comfortable working with large telemetry datasets (SQL and log analytics platforms such as Elastic).
• Ability to reason about attacker behavior, build threat models, and validate detections with repeatable testing.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication.

Nice to have

• Experience with Kubernetes and container runtime security.
• eBPF or low-level telemetry approaches, syscall or kernel-level visibility.
• Reverse engineering and malware analysis.
• Offensive security background (web, cloud, exploit development).
• Contributions to open-source security projects or published research.
• Experience using automation or AI-assisted techniques to scale research and detection workflows.

Culture & Benefits

• Join an amazing team inspiring each other daily in a high-growth environment.
• Be part of a disruptive innovation leader in cloud security, pioneering agentless technology.
• Work for a well-capitalized cybersecurity unicorn dominating the cloud security space.
• Experience a respectful and transparent culture with accessible executives.
• Opportunities to mentor and level up other researchers and engineers.
