Our take: The real work here is taking security research from first question to deployed proof of concept, building AI-powered tooling to find and disclose threats, and publishing what you learn.
If you love chasing a security question from first hunch to working proof of concept, this is a role where you build the systems and also think like the attacker trying to break them. You will research emerging threats in AI agents and package ecosystems, automate the tedious parts with AI, and publish what you find for the world to read. It suits someone who wants full ownership, enjoys writing clearly, and cares about getting the dangerous details right.
