We are seeking an experienced Vulnerability Research Team Leader to guide a specialist team responsible for identifying, analysing, and responsibly disclosing security vulnerabilities across operating systems, applications, embedded devices, and emerging technologies. You will provide technical direction, set research priorities, and help translate complex findings into practical recommendations for engineering, product, and security stakeholders. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with people management and strategic planning.

Key responsibilities include defining and maintaining the team’s research roadmap; overseeing vulnerability discovery, exploit development, reverse engineering, fuzzing, and proof-of-concept creation; reviewing technical reports and ensuring findings are accurately assessed and documented; and coordinating responsible disclosure activities with relevant vendors, researchers, and internal teams. You will establish effective research methodologies, improve tooling and laboratory capabilities, monitor the threat landscape, and contribute to security advisories, technical publications, and presentations. You will also support incident response and risk assessments when specialist vulnerability research expertise is required.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in vulnerability research, offensive security, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of operating system internals, networking, software architecture, and common vulnerability classes. Practical knowledge of reverse engineering, debugging, static and dynamic analysis, fuzzing frameworks, and scripting or programming languages such as Python, C, C++, or Rust is essential. Experience leading or mentoring technical teams, managing competing priorities, and communicating complex security issues to varied audiences is also required. A methodical, curious, and collaborative approach is important, along with sound judgement when handling sensitive information. Relevant professional certifications, published research, or a demonstrable history of responsible vulnerability disclosure would be advantageous.
