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.\nWhat you’ll do\nThe primary tasks of this position relate to the detection, triage, and analysis of malicious open source software components - identifying threats across public package ecosystems (npm, PyPI, Maven, etc.) and assessing their scope, intent, and impact.\nDay-to-day work includes triaging and assessing incoming malware alerts, reviewing Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and maintaining threat campaign records to track attacker infrastructure, tactics, and patterns over time.\nA core responsibility is the in-depth technical analysis of suspicious packages: reverse-engineering obfuscated code, identifying malicious behaviors (exfiltration, backdoors, dependency confusion, typosquatting, etc.), and producing detailed internal assessments.\nYou will author and publish external-facing content - blog posts, technical write-ups, and security advisories - communicating findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, and contributing to the broader security community's awareness of emerging threats.\nYou will collaborate with internal teams to feed findings into detection pipelines, enrich our vulnerability and threat database, and help improve automated detection coverage over time.\nWhat we're looking for \nBachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, with at least 3 years of hands-on professional experience specifically in malware analysis, threat intelligence, or open source package security\nDemonstrated experience triaging security alerts at scale and working within or alongside a SOC or threat intelligence team\nHands-on experience reviewing and interpreting IoCs (file hashes, domains, IPs, behavioral signatures) and maintaining threat campaign tracking\nProficiency in reading and analyzing code across multiple languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go) - including obfuscated or minified code\nExperience producing external security communications: blog posts, advisories, or technical reports intended for a public or customer-facing audience\nUnderstanding of package manager ecosystems and common attack patterns (typosquatting, dependency confusion, malicious install scripts, etc.)\nNice to have\nExperience contributing to or operating threat intelligence platforms or malware databases\nFamiliarity with static and dynamic analysis tooling (sandboxes, YARA rules, SAST tools)\nUnderstanding of software supply chain security standards and frameworks (SLSA, SSDF, etc.)\nPrior public research, CVE credits, or published malware findings\nSecurity certifications such as GREM (GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware) or equivalent\nAt Endor Labs, we:\nStrive for excellence in everything we do, prioritizing quality, speed, and impactful outcomes.\nEngage in first principles thinking to debate ideas, test assumptions, and make decisions.\nPut data above opinions, seeking truth and clarity in all our endeavors.\nEmbrace a culture of feedback and continuous improvement, assuming good intent in all interactions.\nCelebrate wins as a team, understanding that our collective success is intertwined with the success of our customers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4837,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Application Security","DevSecOps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2024-05-15T10:42:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.283,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":897,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/endorlabs-senior-security-researcher","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/endorlabs-senior-security-researcher.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T22:56:08Z","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":13946,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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%2Fendorlabs-senior-security-researcher"},{"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%2Fendorlabs-senior-security-researcher"},{"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%2Fendorlabs-senior-security-researcher"},{"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/endorlabs-senior-security-researcher\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fendorlabs-senior-security-researcher"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":34228}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"endorlabs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":34228},"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.
