Vulnerabilities are piling up 16x faster than companies can fix them, and adversaries are able to exploit these new vulnerabilities within hours.\nAURI by Endor Labs closes that gap. It runs inside the harness where coding agents work, through hooks, skills and MCP, so the controls sit outside the model and every agent action is visible. Underneath is our patented code context graph, which maps code, open source, containers and infrastructure. It shows which vulnerabilities can actually be reached and exploited, then delivers fixes that won’t break the application. Security teams get evidence instead of noise, and developers get fixes instead of tickets.\nThe companies building AI trust us to secure it - our customers include OpenAI, SpaceX, DoorDash, Dropbox, Atlassian, MongoDB, Snowflake, Robinhood and Peloton to name a few.\nEndor Labs is the third company from Founder & CEO Varun Badhwar, who built Prisma Cloud, the platform that helped define cloud security, from $0 to $300M ARR at Palo Alto Networks. We’ve raised $163M from Lightspeed, Coatue, DFJ Growth, Salesforce Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital.\nSoftware runs everything around our lives today - banking, hospitals, airports and power grids. AI now writes more of it every day, and our mission is to make sure the world can trust that software. Come build that future with us.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Senior Security Researcher to join in our offensive security research efforts in the domain of software supply chain security. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of secure SDLC and software supply chain security, identifying zero-day vulnerabilities in software artifacts and CI/CD systems, analyzing attack trends, and influencing the next generation of security capabilities in our products.\nThis role requires deep technical expertise in vulnerability research, application security, reverse engineering, and offensive security techniques. The ideal candidate will also play a key role in publishing groundbreaking research through blogs, white papers, and speaking engagements at top security conferences.\nHow You'll Make an Impact\nConduct offensive security research on software supply chain threats, identifying and analyzing zero-day vulnerabilities.\nDevelop and refine exploit techniques to understand modern attack vectors targeting software supply chain through malicious code, 3rd party libraries, and CI/CD systems.\nWork closely with Product Management to translate research findings into innovative security capabilities within Endor Labs' products.\nPublish research findings through technical blogs, white papers, and industry-leading security conferences.\nCollaborate with security engineers and developers to prototype and implement detection and mitigation strategies for emerging threats.\nContribute to the security community by developing open-source tools, methodologies, or frameworks that enhance software supply chain security.\nStay ahead of the latest threats, attacker methodologies, and evolving security trends to continuously refine our research efforts.\nWhat You Bring to the Table\n 5+ years of experience in security research, vulnerability discovery, and offensive security.\nDeep expertise in reverse engineering, exploit development, and software vulnerability analysis.\nStrong understanding of software supply chain security, including package management systems, CI/CD pipelines, and dependency analysis.\nExperience discovering and responsibly disclosing zero-day vulnerabilities.\nProven track record of publishing high-quality research or presenting at top security conferences (e.g., Black Hat, DEF CON, RSAC, BSides).\nProficiency in programming languages such as Python, Rust, or Go.\nStrong analytical skills and the ability to conduct complex security research autonomously.\nExcellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to convey technical concepts to diverse audiences.\nWhy Endor Labs\nWe’re building at the intersection of developer productivity and security - one of the fastest-growing spaces in software. Our dev-loved platform has real ROI, strong momentum, and customers who care about doing things right. You get to work with a world-class team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of security research and directly influence the security of modern software supply chains. \nAt Endor Labs, we think big, start small, and learn fast. We take ownership, move with purpose, and always start with the customer’s success. We debate with data, make the complex simple, and challenge each other with kindness and candor. We celebrate wins, learn from misses, and have fun along the way - because when our customers win, we all win.\nEndor Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Even if you don't fit every requirement above, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, so we encourage all talented individuals to apply-there's no one-size-fits-all here.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5425,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Application Security","DevSecOps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T14:41:14Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":227500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/endor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/endor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T04:58:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7772,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8066},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8066"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fendor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fendor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fendor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/endor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fendor-labs-senior-security-researcher-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3338501}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"endorlabs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3338501},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
