Dash Security · Tel Aviv-Yafo

About Dash Security Dash Security is building the security layer for the agentic enterprise - so teams can let AI run, securely. Enterprises are adopting AI agents across coding tools, SaaS, cloud, and endpoints, and traditional security stacks don't work where agents interpret instructions, plan, and act at runtime. Dash discovers every agent, MCP server, skill, and interaction; captures full agentic sessions end to end; and observes, governs, and acts across every agent and interaction, everywhere they run - instantly. We exist to close the agent security gap with intent-aware runtime protection that scales with enterprise AI adoption. Role Overview We are seeking an AI Security Researcher to join Dash's core research team. You'll investigate how AI agents - spanning coding agents, SaaS AI platforms, cloud, and endpoints - can be abused, and design detections that stop threats before they cause impact. Each platform is different, yet they share common risk patterns across prompts, tools, MCP servers, skills, hooks, identity, and data movement. Your mission is to master both: uncovering unique attack surfaces while building universal, session- and intent-aware defenses. This role combines deep platform research, responsible security testing, and close collaboration with engineering to translate findings into production runtime protection. You will help define the field of Agentic Security. Responsibilities Research agentic threats: Prompt injection, tool/plugin/MCP abuse, skill and hook misuse, rogue autonomy, identity misuse, data leakage, adversarial AI, and protocol exploitation across coding agents and enterprise AI platforms. Develop runtime detections: Design detections for multiple environments (coding agents, SaaS AI, cloud, endpoints), leveraging platform hooks, APIs, telemetry, and native guardrails where available. Analyze platform complexities: Deep-dive into architectures, permissions, workflows, and agent capabilities (MCP servers, Skills, plugins, extensions) while extracting cross-platform risk patterns. Build scalable detection logic: Prototype and refine heuristics, signatures, and intent-aware detectors that hold up at enterprise scale with low friction for builders. Investigate monitoring and enforcement boundaries: Push what platforms allow for visibility and control - hooks, plugins, configuration surfaces, inventory signals, and policy enforcement points. Prototype PoCs: Validate attack paths end to end, then turn findings into production-ready signatures, heuristics, detectors, and runtime policies. Collaborate with engineering: Embed research into Dash's detection pipelines, session-aware runtime protection, and policy/governance modules. Stay ahead of the field: Track adversarial AI and agent security research, continuously evolving Dash's detection and enforcement coverage. Qualifications BSc./MSc. in Computer Science, Security, or equivalent military/industry experience. 4+ years of security research (AppSec, malware, adversarial AI, or platform security). Experience with Agentic AI security research is an advantage. Hands-on experience working with coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) is a must, including practical use of agentic capabilities such as MCP servers, Skills, hooks, and similar agent tooling. Experience with AI systems, agent frameworks, or protocol security (e.g., LangChain, MCP, A2A) is a strong plus. Proficiency in Python for prototyping, research tooling, and detection logic; familiarity with TypeScript or Go is a plus for collaborating with engineering. Strong grasp of cloud, SaaS, and endpoint security models, especially identity and data access. Demonstrated ability to transform research into productized runtime detections. Self-driven, curious, and eager to define the next frontier of enterprise security.

Oak - Identity Security OS · Tel Aviv-Yafo

We're reimagining enterprise Identity and Access Management from the ground up. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Shai Morag and Tal Marom and backed by a $60M seed round from Greylock, Accel, and CRV, we're building the next generation of identity security. Identity is the gateway to everything- who's let in, who's kept out, and it's now the number one attack vector in the enterprise. The tools built to govern it were designed for a slower world of human users and static environments. That world is gone. Identities are exploding across human, machine, and AI agents faster than legacy systems can track, and security teams are left patching together five disconnected tools that still can't answer "who has access to what, right now." We think the answer isn't another point solution- it's a new foundation. Oak is the AI-native Identity Operating System: an AI connector framework that reaches any application, a live identity graph built from raw evidence, and a team of AI agents that governs the full lifecycle of every identity in one platform. We're building Oak's AI-native core from day one-engineered for what enterprise identity is becoming, not patched onto what it used to be. And we're just getting started. About the Role: Oak's Research is where deep security expertise becomes product. We translate how identity is weaponized and becomes an attack path - across human, machine, and AI agent identities - into the risk models and security content that exposes real identity risk inside customer environments. Research here doesn't end in a slide deck, it ships. As a Security Researcher, you'll own and evolve the core of the Oak platform: the frameworks and logics that turn fragmented, cross-surface identity data into precise, high-signal insight. You'll work directly with real-world data to find emerging attack patterns, reason about privilege and exposure, and convert what you learn into intelligence that tells customers what's actually risky - and what to do about it. Identity is also the fastest-moving attack surface in the enterprise right now. The explosion of non-human identities and autonomous AI agents is rewriting what "who has access to what" even means, and you'll be at the front of it — defining how Oak discovers, scores, governs and secures these identities before the rest of the market has a vocabulary for the risk. You'll also shape Oak's voice in the field. Through original research, published findings, and technical thought leadership, you'll influence how practitioners and analysts understand identity risk as the perimeter dissolves. What you will Do: • Drive research end-to-end - from hypothesis and exploration all the way through to the intelligence and logic that ship into the platform and makes impact on our customers. • Translate deep expertise in identity and security into the analytical engine that drives how Oak reasons about risk, governance, and access decisions across organizations. • Create and own Oak knowledge - the content, logic and intelligence behind every insight made, while setting and maintaining the quality, accuracy depth and coverage of the platform. • Pioneer Oak's approach at the cutting edge of a category being reinvented - as the identity foundations are rebuilt for a new world • Shape the field's understanding of identity through original research and technical thought leadership, while raising the research bar across the team and delivering top-tier value to our customers. What you will bring: • 5+ years of hands-on security research experience, with a track record that demonstrates depth across identity, access control, or adjacent threat domains. • Low ego, high impact - you share findings freely, measure success by the team's impact and you are value-driven, Willing to roll up your sleeves for the foundational work creating knowledge and insights in order to provide real value to real customers. • Innovative and forward thinking - Continuous desire to learn, explore and create. • The instinct to find what others miss: you approach identity attack surfaces, NHI exposure, and AI agent behavior with genuine curiosity and a willingness to go where the research leads. • A collaborative default - happy to share and work alongside product, engineering, and go-to-market teams in order to translate raw research into intelligence that sharpens Oak's platform and customers' understanding of their identity risk. Nice to have: • A history of original, published work - conference presentations (Black Hat, DEFCON, or equivalent), blog series, or white papers that has moved the needle and made impact.

Senior Vulnerability Researcher
Oak - Identity Security OS · Tel Aviv-Yafo

We're reimagining enterprise Identity and Access Management from the ground up. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Shai Morag and Tal Marom and backed by a $60M seed round from Greylock, Accel, and CRV, we're building the next generation of identity security. Identity is the gateway to everything- who's let in, who's kept out, and it's now the number one attack vector in the enterprise. The tools built to govern it were designed for a slower world of human users and static environments. That world is gone. Identities are exploding across human, machine, and AI agents faster than legacy systems can track, and security teams are left patching together five disconnected tools that still can't answer "who has access to what, right now." We think the answer isn't another point solution- it's a new foundation. Oak is the AI-native Identity Operating System: an AI connector framework that reaches any application, a live identity graph built from raw evidence, and a team of AI agents that governs the full lifecycle of every identity in one platform. We're building Oak's AI-native core from day one-engineered for what enterprise identity is becoming, not patched onto what it used to be. And we're just getting started. About the Role: Oak's Vulnerability Research is the sharpest edge of our technical work - the team that takes systems apart to learn how they truly work, and where they break. We go deep into the mechanisms, protocols, and architectures that modern technology is built on, and we pressure-test the assumptions the rest of the industry takes for granted. Sometimes that work sharpens the platform, sometimes it stands entirely on its own, as an original research novelty. As a Vulnerability Researcher, you'll build first-principles understanding of the technologies and systems you investigate, then go looking for what's wrong with them: the flawed assumptions baked into established paradigms, the gap between how a system is meant to behave and how it actually behaves, and the novel vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques no one has named yet. This is hands-on, deep technical work - reverse-engineering, breaking, and finding what's exploitable before an attacker does. You'll have the room to follow the research where it leads, and the backing of an ecosystem created to set you up for success by providing every tool and access that could help. Some threads will feed directly into how Oak understands what's genuinely exploitable, grounding the platform in real attacker reality rather than theoretical risk. Others will be pure discovery, pursued because the problem is hard and the finding truly matters, and published to move the field forward. Either way, your work establishes Oak's authority in the field. Through original research, disclosures, and technical thought leadership, you'll build a body of work that earns the respect of the security community and sharpens how the industry thinks about what's truly secure. What you will Do: • Hunt for what established security paradigms miss: flawed assumptions, gaps between specified and actual behavior, and novel vulnerability classes and exploitation techniques that don't yet have names. • Reverse-engineer and deeply understand systems, protocols, and architectures at the implementation level - developing a precise understanding of how they actually work, rather than what their designers intended. • Develop hypotheses and convert them into working proof-of-concept exploits that demonstrate real-world risk before attackers do. • Own research threads end-to-end, from an early exploration, developing and following hunches all the way through to a proof of concept, responsible disclosure or publication, following the evidence wherever it leads without waiting for a defined playbook. • Ground Oak's understanding of exploitability in attacker reality - when research surfaces findings relevant to how the platform models identity attack surface across human and non-human identities, bring that signal in. • Promote Oak's standing in the security community through original research, CVEs, and technical thought leadership that advances the field and earns trust on its merits. What you will bring: • 6+ years of hands-on vulnerability research, reverse engineering, or offensive security, with a proven track record of finding non-trivial flaws and the depth in systems, protocols, and architectures to understand precisely why they exist. • A first-principles approach to how things actually work, not how they're documented to work: you pull the thread until you hit ground truth, and you're not satisfied until you do. • The instinct and ability to see what others overlook - the unquestioned assumptions in established systems, the edges no one has tested, the failure modes that live in the gap between spec and implementation. • End-to-end ownership of research: you drive hypotheses to conclusions through dead ends, changes of directions and reach hard proofs • Strong hands-on expertise, converting theories and research into a working chain and proof of concept. • Result driven depth: you go as far as a problem deserves, because the result is worth it, and you know when it is. • A track record of original significant discoveries - published CVEs, novel vulnerability classes or exploitation techniques, research that named a problem the field didn't have words for yet. Nice to have: • History of presenting original research at Black Hat, DEFCON, OffensiveCon, Hexacon or a comparable security conference. • Significant CVEs (CVSS High or Critical) under your name.

Lema AI · Tel Aviv-Yafo

Description We are 48% of breaches now come through vendors. Yet most companies still manage vendor risk through certifications and questionnaires, essentially trusting what vendors say about their security. Lema changes that.

Requirements Who You Are • 8+ years in security research, threat research, or closely related fields (offensive security, detection engineering, incident response, cloud security engineering). Fewer years are fine if your depth and track record are exceptional. • Deep multi-cloud expertise - strong hands-on experience across at least two of the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), with working knowledge of the third. You understand the IAM models, logging pipelines, APIs, and attack surfaces that matter in each. • A track record of original research - you've published meaningful technical findings through blog posts, conference talks, open-source tools, or vulnerability discoveries that moved the needle. We want someone who doesn't just consume research - you produce it. • Strong adversarial mindset and critical thinking - you think like an attacker targeting cloud infrastructure, SaaS platforms, identity systems, and Kubernetes. You can model threat scenarios, map out attack paths, and poke holes in defenses. • Ability to operate autonomously on ambiguous, high-stakes problems. You don't wait for detailed specs - you identify what matters and drive it forward. It Would Be Nice If You Also Had • Experience with cloud forensics and incident response (DFIR in cloud/SaaS environments). • Background in red teaming or penetration testing targeting cloud environments. • Familiarity with Kubernetes security, container escape techniques, and cloud-native supply chain risks. • Experience building or contributing to threat intelligence frameworks or detection content libraries.
