Cyber Security Researcher

What we do at Detectify

We’re Detectify, and we’re not your average cybersecurity company. We’re a team obsessed with building cutting-edge tech that actually makes a difference in making the internet a safer place. We’re talking about real-life hackers who know their stuff. You'll learn from the best and join a team that combines human ingenuity with automation to streamline asset discovery and vulnerability assessments.

• Stay on top of the latest security research, disclosures and techniques, and figure out which ones we can and should turn into scalable detection.
• Research new attack vectors and vulnerability classes that can be automated, and identify where we can source them.
• Design and build agentic workflows that use AI to uncover new vulnerabilities and 0-days.
• Reverse engineer binaries to find vulnerabilities and understand how they can be exploited.
• Review detection code to make sure our tests are accurate and keep false positives to a minimum.
• Act as a go-to security expert for colleagues across the company and help with security-related questions and tasks.
• Talk with customers to understand their attack surfaces and security challenges, and use those insights to shape what we research and build next.

• You’re highly versatile and self-motivated, and you can create and drive change. You’re active in the security community and you understand how vulnerabilities work, not just that they exist. You probably also have:
• Hands-on experience finding and exploiting live vulnerabilities, for example through bug bounty programs, CVEs, CTFs, penetration testing or published research.
• Deep knowledge of web application security and common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10 and beyond).
• Solid programming or scripting skills (for example Python or Go) and the ability to turn an idea into a working proof-of-concept.
• Curiosity about using LLMs and AI agents in offensive security, or experience building with them already.
• The ability to explain technical findings clearly to engineers, customers and non-security stakeholders.
• Have experience with reverse engineering.
• Have publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, written blog posts or given talks at security conferences.

As a Security Researcher, your main mission is to develop proof-of-concepts for novel ways of detecting vulnerabilities, broadening what Detectify’s engines can find. In other words, your research ends up protecting thousands of real-world attack surfaces.
