• Prototype advanced features and technologies, experimenting with emerging standards, API designs, and cloud-native architecture
• Collaborate closely with R&D engineers to translate research deliverables into product features - ensuring findings are implemented effectively
• Continuously monitor and evaluate security content deployed in the field, refining and enhancing Silverfort’s detection capabilities based on real-world insights
• Explore and assess new data sources to broaden Silverfort’s visibility and protection across both cloud and on-prem environments
• Create in-depth technical documentation and research blogs to share findings, methodologies, and best practices with internal teams and the wider security community
• Contribute to the company’s initiative to integrate AI-driven capabilities into the product, with a focus on improving detection precision and automation

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in security research, security engineering, or incident response /threat hunting, with a focus on identity and cloud environments
• Experience with cloud platforms ( AWS / GCP / Azure) and identity providers (Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace)
• Knowledge of SaaS authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth)
• Experience with Active Directory, on-premises infrastructure, and related protocols (Kerberos, NTLM, SMB, LDAP)
• Programming skills (Python preferred), including the ability to develop research tools and understand production code
• Familiarity with data analysis tools and processes (SQL, Python) and platforms such as Snowflake, Splunk, or Wireshark
• Ability to work cross-functionally with Product and R&D teams
