Security Researcher
We are seeking a Security Researcher to investigate emerging threats, identify vulnerabilities, and develop practical security improvements across a range of technologies and environments. The successful candidate will combine strong analytical skills with hands-on technical expertise to assess attack methods, validate security controls, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful security initiatives in a collaborative, research-focused environment.
Responsibilities will include researching current and emerging cyber threats, vulnerabilities, malware, exploitation techniques, and defensive technologies. You will design and execute proof-of-concept demonstrations, conduct vulnerability assessments, analyse security incidents, and support the development of detection and mitigation strategies. You will also produce high-quality technical reports, advisories, and presentations, ensuring that complex findings are documented accurately and translated into actionable recommendations. Collaboration with engineering, operations, and risk teams will be essential, as will keeping abreast of developments in application, network, cloud, endpoint, and information security.
Applicants should have professional experience in security research, vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, incident response, or a related discipline. Strong knowledge of operating systems, networking, web technologies, common attack frameworks, and secure development principles is required. Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, Go, JavaScript, C, or PowerShell is highly desirable, as is familiarity with tools for reverse engineering, static and dynamic analysis, packet inspection, and automated testing. The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively, challenge assumptions, and explain technical concepts clearly is essential. Relevant professional certifications or a degree in cybersecurity, computer science, or a comparable field would be advantageous, but demonstrable practical expertise will be valued equally.
