What you will do

• Own the architectural vision for AI/ML integration across endpoint, threat intelligence, or cloud/XDR product stacks.
• Define tradeoffs involving resource budgets, latency, privacy, accuracy, evasion resistance, and platform requirements.
• Review AI feature proposals, assess data dependencies and maintainability, and identify modernization opportunities and risks.
• Distill behavioral heuristics and security expertise into training signals, evaluation suites, and agentic decision frameworks.
• Define meaningful AI adoption standards for engineering and research teams and advise on effective AI tooling.
• Represent R&D through technical publications, conference presentations, original research, and engagement with security standards communities.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in security engineering or research, such as endpoint platforms, vulnerability research, threat intelligence, or cloud/XDR architecture.
• Deep production-scale understanding of at least one major security domain and experience shipping real security systems.
• Production experience with SLM/LLM integration, agentic workflows, or multi-model systems.
• Understanding of the full AI pipeline, including data, models, integration, deployment, and monitoring.
• Ability to independently evaluate architecture and represent engineering truth in high-stakes technical discussions.
• Recognized or emerging credibility through speaking, publishing, or contributions to established security or AI venues.

Nice to have

• Experience developing AI-native security products.
• Experience with TrendLabs, ZDI, or comparable threat research organizations.
• Published CVEs, conference papers, or open-source security tooling.
• Experience spanning offensive security and AI/ML systems.

Culture & Benefits

• Work within a global cybersecurity R&D organization based in Taiwan.
• Represent technical perspectives at venues including GTC, Black Hat, DEF CON, RSA, AWS re:Inforce, Pwn2Own, and academic or standards forums.
• The role focuses on architecture, technical judgment, and knowledge integration rather than daily production coding, delivery ownership, sales, or team leadership.
