Senior Security Researcher
📍 Remote (UK) | 1 day per month in London (expenses paid) 💰 Up to £110,000 + benefits
We're partnering with a specialist cyber security software company to hire a Senior Security Researcher into a highly technical, research-led team.
This is a role for someone who enjoys tackling difficult security problems, investigating unfamiliar technologies, and producing original findings rather than working from established playbooks. You'll be given the autonomy to explore complex challenges, develop research methodologies, build proof-of-concepts, and contribute directly to future product and security capabilities.
We're particularly interested in researchers who can combine deep technical investigation with strong analytical thinking and the ability to clearly communicate findings.
What you'll be doing
- Conducting original cyber security research into emerging threats, technologies and attack techniques
- Investigating complex and previously unexplored security problems
- Designing experiments, research methodologies and proof-of-concepts
- Developing tooling to support investigations and technical validation
- Producing high-quality technical reports, publications and research outputs
- Collaborating with engineers and product teams to translate research into practical outcomes
- Presenting and communicating findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
