We are seeking a highly motivated and technically proficient Vulnerability Researcher to join our

security research division. This role is dedicated to determining the true intent behind

cybersecurity prompts submitted to an AI system that the system could not confidently classify

as benign or malicious, with a focus on vulnerability research, exploit development, and reverse

engineering.

You need to be independent, attentive to details, organized, eager to learn current things, and

eager to research and solve complex problems.

What you'll do:
Review cybersecurity prompts submitted to an AI system that the system could not confidently classify as benign or malicious
Determine the underlying intent and goal behind each prompt, and assess whether theuser is pursuing a legitimate purpose or an intent to cause harm
Apply deep domain expertise to judge the technical context, specificity, and real-world uplift a response would give an attacker
Annotate each prompt with an intent label and a clear written rationale, following the project guidelines
Independently annotate the same prompts as a second researcher; cases where researchers disagree are escalated to a reviewer
Flag ambiguous cases,



emerging attack techniques, and gaps in the guidelines, and help improve them

Requirements:
Minimum of 5 years of proven, hands-on experience in vulnerability research and reverse engineering
Proven ability to discover vulnerabilities through fuzzing, static and dynamic analysis, and patch diffing
Exploit development experience, including memory corruption, heap exploitation, ROP,and mitigation bypasses (ASLR, DEP, CFI)
Fluent use of IDA, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, and debuggers (WinDbg, GDB, LLDB) on x86/x64 and ARM binaries
Understanding of the CVE lifecycle, n-day versus 0-day work, and how public PoCs are weaponized
Solid analytical judgment: able to infer a user's underlying goal from a short prompt and separate defensive, educational, and research use from attack preparation
Explicit written communication in English, with the ability to document your reasoning concisely

Nice to have:

● OSED, OSEE, GIAC GXPN

● Demonstrated online achievements, write-ups, or contributions on platforms such as HackTheBox, Pwn2Own, TryHackMe, Bug Bounty programs, or published security research.
