Security Researcher

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Romania.

📋 Description

• Conduct research on browser, WebView, Android, and iOS environments from the viewpoint of an attacker.

• Detect security signals, behavioral indicators, and technical patterns to enhance detection of fraud, abuse, automation, and AI agents.

• Explore attacker methodologies that involve bots, browser automation, AI agents, emulators, device spoofing, hooking, instrumentation, remote access tools, and anti-detection techniques.

• Create and execute experiments to compare legitimate, automated, AI-assisted, and manipulated environments.

• Assess signals for their reliability, stability, susceptibility to spoofing, privacy concerns, performance effects, and feasibility for production.

• Convert research outcomes into SDK feature specifications for web and mobile data collection.

• Develop internal tools, scripts, and laboratory environments for signal research and validation.

• Collaborate with SDK, engineering, product, and detection teams to transition research from hypothesis to production.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 3 years of practical experience in security research, mobile security, browser research, fraud detection, reverse engineering, or a similar technical role.

• Proficiency with web browsers, mobile browsers, WebViews, browser APIs, JavaScript runtime behavior, browser automation, fingerprinting, client-side web security, and low-level browser technologies.

• Knowledge of modern open-source browser architectures or codebases and rendering engines like Chromium, WebKit, Blink, or Gecko.

• Experience with native Android and/or iOS applications, mobile OS behavior, app instrumentation, emulators, device spoofing, mobile automation, mobile security, and low-level platform APIs.

• An attacker mindset with a thorough understanding of bypass techniques involving automation, AI agents, spoofing, and anti-detection methods.

• Capability to recognize subtle technical signals and convert them into detection or data collection prospects.

• Experience in designing technical experiments and validating research hypotheses.

• Familiarity with SDK development languages and environments such as TypeScript/JavaScript, Kotlin/Java, or Swift/Objective-C.

• Proficient scripting skills, preferably in Python, for research tools, automation, and analysis workflows.

• Ability to work autonomously on ambiguous challenges and effectively communicate findings.

• Experience with Web SDKs, Mobile SDKs, client-side telemetry, device intelligence, behavioral signals, AI agent detection, or fraud detection products is a plus.

• Background in researching bots, credential stuffing, scraping, headless browsers, AI-assisted automation, app cloning, SDK abuse, phishing kits, malware, or anti-detection frameworks is advantageous.

• Experience in reverse engineering Android or iOS applications is a plus.

• Familiarity with detection quality measurement, feature evaluation, false-positive analysis, production monitoring, or machine learning concepts is advantageous.

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience is a plus.
