Описание
This role involves joining the Wix security guild as a Security Researcher to lead proactive research into emerging technologies and AI security.
Responsibilities
- Conduct proactive security research on emerging technologies, focusing on AI/ML systems, LLM security, and automated threat vectors
- Perform threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and technical evaluations of new platforms and architectures
- Develop Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and lightweight research tools in Python to test security assumptions and validate vulnerabilities
- Analyze novel attack techniques, public breaches, and industry trends to identify systemic risks and mitigate them before they’re exploited
- Translate complex research, technical findings, and AI vulnerabilities into actionable security controls, strategic insights, and recommendations
- Collaborate closely with Security and Engineering teams to turn research findings into real-world security improvements
- Present research findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Requirements
- 2–4 years of hands-on experience in security research, vulnerability research, threat intelligence, or offensive security
- Deep understanding of core cybersecurity concepts and modern web/cloud architectures
- Hands-on experience with Python for prototyping, automation, and developing research tools or PoCs
- Familiarity with AI/ML security principles (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, prompt injection, data poisoning, model exposure risks)
- Strong critical thinking and an offensive mindset – question assumptions, seek root causes, and look for ways systems can fail or be exploited
- A self-starter who is organized, takes ownership of research projects end-to-end, and drives them to actionable conclusions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to turn complex technical findings into clear conclusions
Nice to have
- Military/intelligence unit service, academic research, CTFs, or strong personal research projects are highly valued
We offer
