Job Description:

We're looking for a talented Threat Researcher (AI) to join our team and play a critical role in Wiz's foundational, risk-driven approach to cloud security. This role requires deep technical research into complex cloud- and AI-native environments to identify the most significant, unaddressed risks.

Job Responsibility:

  • Conduct deep technical research to discover and report novel risks and attack vectors specific to modern cloud and AI-native architectures and systems
  • Discover and articulate the highest unaddressed risk areas, working with Product and Engineering teams to translate research into product capabilities
  • Define necessary foundational product capabilities by delivering both compelling proofs of risk (demonstrating impact) and technical POCs (showing how to solve it)
  • Work closely with Product and Engineering teams to ensure comprehensive risk coverage and support the investigation of new and complex product scope

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in security or security research, specifically relevant to modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.)
  • Strong hands-on skills with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Go) for automation and research, as well as query languages (e.g., KQL, SQL) for efficient data analysis of security telemetry
  • Proven ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive complex, multi-quarter research projects from initial concept through to clear, delivered impact
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of successfully collaborating with cross-functional teams (e.g Product, Engineering, Marketing) to achieve shared goals

Nice to have:

  • Specialized knowledge or research experience in AI security, focusing on risks to AI as deployed in the enterprise
  • Experience in public-facing work, such as presenting at recognized industry conferences, authoring technical blog posts, or publishing research
  • Experience conducting data-driven research and working with large-scale security telemetry to derive statistically significant or high-impact findings
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance
  • Home Office Setup reimbursement
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
  • Monthly Connectivity reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Short- and Long-term Disability Insurance
  • Life & Accident Insurance
  • 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (with employer match)
  • Flexible paid time off + 11 paid holidays
  • Paid leave programs, including parental, pregnancy health, medical and bereavement leave
  • Eligibility to participate in Wiz’s equity plan and may also include incentive compensation
