  • Develop and enhance detection rules and behavioral analytics for both platforms, integrated into our EDR product.

  • Continuously monitor emerging threats and trends across Windows and macOS ecosystems.
  • Contribute to the product roadmap for both EDR and vulnerability products by surfacing research-driven insights and detection capability recommendations.

  • Proven experience developing file-based and behavioral detections for endpoints (YARA, Sigma).
  • Solid understanding of the vulnerability research lifecycle: discovery through coordinated disclosure and CVE ecosystem.
  • Experience with malware analysis tools and techniques (Binary Ninja, WinDbg, Sysinternals, or Mac Monitor).
  • Strong understanding of OS internals and endpoint security mechanisms on Windows and/or macOS (Endpoint Security APIs).
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate research externally — blog posts, conference talks, or published work.
