Principal Security Researcher - Cloud & AI (Cortex Cloud)

As a Principal Security Researcher on the Cortex Cloud research team, you’ll lead deep, hands-on security research across cloud and AI environments- from uncovering vulnerabilities and novel attack paths to building the protections that stop them. Your impact doesn’t end with detections. This team is also responsible for driving product innovation: identifying gaps in how cloud environments are secured, finding new ways to close those gaps, and partnering with engineering, product and marketing to take those ideas from a POC to implementation. Whether it’s a new detection engine, risk signal, or protection method- your research directly shapes the product. You'll research the AI attack surface in depth, and push the boundaries of what cloud and AI security can achieve. If you're looking for a role where research leads to real-world defense- and product innovation is part of your day job- this is the team.
