Ready to ScanRole Overview
You'll help define an emerging area: how to find and neutralize the security risks that emerge when agents act, plan, and use tools autonomously. This role is research-heavy and engineering-heavy: you'll design experiments, build prototypes, fine-tune models, and pressure-test systems against adversarial behavior. You'll iterate quickly, learn from failures, and scale what works, while building the monitoring and evaluation infrastructure that makes progress measurable. You can see what we're building here .
In this role you will:
Define and validate threat models for agentic systems, identifying which tool characteristics must co-exist to enable data exfiltration and malicious state change, and how to break those combinations
Design and run experiments: create synthetic environments like file systems and tools, create task distributions that have attack paths and apply different attack strategies
Break (manually and using optimization algorithms such as RL) agentic systems in
Design and improve static and dynamic analysis methods that automatically map tool capabilities to risk across diverse tool ecosystems, and make those methods scale
Turn research insights into product-facing capabilities: risk classification, automated guardrail generation, and quantitative threat measurement
Build measurement tools: eval harnesses, monitoring, dashboards, and feedback loops that quantify security outcomes
Build capability and regression evals
Optimize systems for real-world constraints (latency, cost, reliability) without losing scientific rigor
