Network Security Researcher

Reference: snd3aagdz6adq0cq4he9

We are seeking a Network Security Researcher to investigate emerging threats, assess vulnerabilities, and develop practical solutions that strengthen the security of complex networked environments. You will monitor the evolving threat landscape, analyse attack techniques, and translate research findings into actionable recommendations for defensive operations, engineering teams, and technical stakeholders. The role involves balancing independent research with collaborative delivery in a fast-moving environment where curiosity, sound judgement, and clear communication are highly valued.

Your responsibilities will include researching network protocols, intrusion methods, malware behaviour, and novel exploitation techniques; designing and conducting security experiments in controlled environments; and developing proof-of-concept tools, detection logic, scripts, and technical documentation. You will analyse data from network traffic, logs, threat intelligence sources, and security technologies to identify weaknesses and improve detection and response capabilities. You will also contribute to vulnerability assessments, incident investigations, threat modelling, and the evaluation of security controls. Findings should be presented clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, with practical guidance on mitigation, remediation, and risk reduction.

Applicants should have professional or academic experience in network security, cybersecurity research, digital forensics, or a related discipline. Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, authentication mechanisms, firewalls, intrusion detection, and common attack frameworks is required. Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, Go, C, or PowerShell, along with familiarity with Linux and Windows environments, is highly desirable. We also value experience using packet analysis and security testing tools, as well as an understanding of cloud networking, secure software development, and vulnerability management. The successful candidate will demonstrate analytical thinking, attention to detail, ethical conduct, and the ability to explain complex technical findings concisely. Relevant professional certifications or advanced academic qualifications are advantageous but not essential.
