About the role

Experienced security engineer to join the STORM security research group, leading security design reviews, threat modeling, and architecture assessments across OS, virtualization, cloud, containers, applications, and AI-enabled systems, with AI-assisted security engineering and scalable workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Lead security design and architecture reviews and structured threat modeling engagements for complex systems.
  • Analyze systems and architectures to identify trust-boundary violations, architectural vulnerabilities, unsafe assumptions, and opportunities for security-driven redesign.
  • Partner closely with engineering and security teams to influence architecture early in the product lifecycle and guide teams toward secure design patterns.
  • Perform security analysis using deep manual investigation and AI-augmented workflows, applying engineering judgment to validate findings and challenge assumptions.
  • Design, prototype, and build AI-assisted security capabilities that augment design review, threat modeling, architecture analysis, vulnerability discovery, and other security engineering workflows.
  • Experiment with new approaches for combining security expertise, automation, and AI to improve the scale, depth, and consistency of security reviews.
  • Communicate security findings, design tradeoffs, and recommended mitigations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Drive security hardening and security-driven redesign efforts that address systemic weaknesses rather than individual vulnerabilities.
  • Help evolve our security engineering methodology, tooling, and practices as AI changes how both products and security analysis are built.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience in security engineering, security architecture, or related technical security roles.
  • Deep technical knowledge in one or more of the following areas: Operating system internals (Windows/Linux, memory management, boot security, platform security), virtualization, confidential computing, cloud architecture, or container security, including Kubernetes and AKS,
  • Application security and secure software development across services, APIs, and distributed systems.
  • Cloud-native security, including identity, secrets management, isolation, and service-to-service trust.
  • Experience building with modern AI technologies to solve real engineering or security problems and designing workflows where AI augments expert analysis.
