Cyber Researcher
We are seeking a Cyber Researcher to investigate emerging cyber threats, assess vulnerabilities, and develop practical insights that support stronger security outcomes. The role will involve monitoring threat intelligence sources, analysing malware and attack techniques, and researching developments across areas such as cloud security, application security, network defence, identity, and emerging technologies. You will translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable intelligence for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Responsibilities will include designing and conducting independent research, validating findings through laboratory testing or proof-of-concept development, and documenting methodologies, risks, and recommendations. You will contribute to threat reports, technical briefings, vulnerability assessments, and security guidance, while identifying trends that may affect systems, services, and users. The role may also involve collaborating with security engineers, incident responders, software developers, and external research communities; supporting investigations; presenting findings; and helping improve internal detection, prevention, and response capabilities.
Applicants should have professional or academic experience in cybersecurity, computer science, digital forensics, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common attack paths, defensive controls, and security research methods. Practical knowledge of scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, or C/C++ is desirable, as is experience with reverse engineering, penetration testing, malware analysis, vulnerability research, or security tooling. You should be analytical, curious, methodical, and able to work independently while communicating effectively with varied stakeholders. The ability to handle sensitive information responsibly, challenge assumptions, and explain technical issues clearly is essential. Relevant certifications, published research, conference presentations, or a demonstrable portfolio of security projects would be advantageous.
