Senior Cybersecurity Researcher

About the Position

We’re hiring a Senior Cybersecurity Researcher to challenge our autonomous security product with realistic attack simulations and investigations.

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end attack simulations that exercise realistic intrusion paths across identity, endpoint, cloud, network, email, and data.
• Execute red-team and purple-team scenarios safely in controlled environments using current adversary techniques and meaningful variations.
• Investigate every scenario from the blue-team side to establish ground truth, expected evidence, correct scope, root cause, impact, and response.
• Stress-test TandemTrace against noisy, missing, delayed, misleading, or contradictory telemetry and deliberate attacker evasion.
• Challenge conclusions and reasoning by finding unsupported claims, missed pivots, weak evidence, false positives, and incomplete attack paths.
• Turn every gap into a reproducible asset such as an evaluation case, attack fixture, product requirement, detection opportunity, or regression test.

Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on security operations experience, including significant responsibility for complex investigations and incident response.
• Practical red-team, blue-team, or purple-team experience designing attack scenarios, validating controls, and explaining exactly what defenders should have observed.
• Strong threat-hunting experience with a record of forming hypotheses, finding evidence, and communicating actionable conclusions.
• Fluency across modern security stacks, including SIEM, EDR/XDR, CNAPP, DFIR, identity, cloud, network, and threat-intelligence systems.
• Deep understanding of attacker behavior across the intrusion lifecycle and practical familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and adversary-emulation methods.
• A product-testing mindset that turns ambiguous failures into minimal, repeatable cases engineering teams can act on.
• Clear analytical writing that makes ground truth, evidence, uncertainty, expected behavior, and actual behavior easy to inspect.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work directly with an experienced cybersecurity founder and a compact product team.
• Influence product behavior, attack coverage, investigation quality, evaluation standards, and the evidence required before calling a capability ready.

About the Company

TandemTrace is building the autonomous layer for the modern SOC. Our agents investigate alerts, correlate evidence across the security stack, hunt for threats, and help teams understand what happened and what to do next.
