The Role

As a Staff Research Engineer, you'll drive the evolution of our identity security platform by combining cutting-edge security research with robust engineering practices. You'll work at the intersection of security domain expertise and software development, translating novel research findings into production-ready systems that protect our customers from sophisticated identity-based threats. This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of identity security through innovative research, scalable engineering solutions, and thought leadership in the security community.

Please check out our page on X - https://x.com/btphantomlabs - for an overview of our recent projects. This will help you determine if we're a good fit for you.

What You'll Do

Research & Innovation

Conduct original security research to identify emerging identity attack vectors and develop novel detection methodologies
Design and implement advanced analytics including rule-based systems, behavioral analysis, and machine learning models for threat detection
Expand and optimize our large-scale entitlement graph systems that map privilege escalation paths across customer environments
Develop proactive recommendation engines that identify security misconfigurations before they become attack vectors

Engineering & Implementation

Utilize graph theory to build entitlement paths from new areas of research across multiple domains
Integrate AI usage into engineering workflows to optimize efficiency
Design custom data representations (graphs, time-series, etc.) to support advanced analytical capabilities
Establish engineering best practices including comprehensive unit testing, automation, and CI/CD pipelines

Data Analysis & Optimization

Explore large-scale customer datasets using Spark and Databricks to validate detection hypotheses and uncover new threat patterns
Continuously monitor and tune detection algorithms based on real-world telemetry and performance metrics
Collaborate with data science teams to integrate machine learning models into production detection systems
Optimize system performance to handle massive data volumes efficiently

Leadership & Knowledge Sharing

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to product and engineering teams
Present research findings at industry conferences and security forums
Publish technical blogs and research papers to establish thought leadership
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate research insights into product roadmap priorities

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

Strong engineering background with proven experience developing and maintaining production security systems
Experience working with SIEM tools, log analysis platforms, or similar security data systems
Knowledge of adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and corresponding defensive strategies
Background in security research with a focus on cloud, identity/IAM, or AI.
Experience in engineering event detection and response systems with focus on tuning and optimization

Preferred Qualifications

Big data processing experience with Apache Spark, Databricks, or similar distributed computing platforms
Background in security research with published findings or conference presentations
Knowledge of cloud security, containerization, and modern infrastructure technologies
Experience with graph databases and network analysis techniques
Familiarity with machine learning applications and AI in cybersecurity
Track record of speaking at technical conferences or contributing to security research publications
Active Directory or low level Windows knowledge

Technologies You Should Know

Required

Cloud and identity platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, Entra, etc.)
SQL and database technologies
Distributed data processing frameworks

Preferred

Databricks platform
Python
Graph databases and analysis tools
Containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
Machine learning frameworks and libraries

What Makes This Role Unique

This position offers a rare opportunity to work at the cutting edge of identity security research while building systems that protect organizations worldwide. You'll have the freedom to pursue novel research directions, the resources to implement your ideas at scale, and the platform to share your expertise with the broader security community. We're looking for someone who thrives on solving hard problems, values engineering excellence, and wants to make a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity.

Better Together

Diversity. Inclusion. They're more than just words for us. They are the guiding values of how we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create a culture where people feel connected.
