Threat Research Engineer

Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is researching emerging software supply chain and AI agent threats, then building the AI-powered systems that detect them, end to end and in the open.
If you light up when a new attack surface appears and you want to both break it and build the thing that catches it, this is your bench. You will chase a research question all the way from hypothesis to deployed proof of concept, wire up AI agents to do the grunt work, and then write it up for the world to read. It is remote, open by default, and built for someone who wants to own the whole arc.
