Hundreds of customers, spanning AI innovators to top 10 banks, trust Nightfall to detect and stop data exfiltration at scale. Nightfall enables organizations to innovate freely without the risks of losing intellectual property or exposing customer data. Our agentic platform helps security teams regain their time by putting data loss prevention on autopilot. With automatic remediation, security violations can be resolved automatically before they become incidents, and end-users can be automatically trained and coached in the moment to self-heal violations that they introduce.\nNightfall is backed by leading VC firms including Bain Capital Ventures (Enrique Salem - former CEO of Symantec), Venrock (early investors in Cloudflare), WestBridge Capital, Pear VC (early investors in Dropbox and Doordash), and a cadre of cybersecurity leaders including Frederic Kerrest (founder of Okta), Maynard Webb (former COO of eBay), Ryan Carlson (President of Chainguard), Kevin Mandia (founder of Mandiant), and many others.\nAbout the role:\nA hands-on security research role with a public voice: the DevRel function for security operations and data security.\nAI models and agents give software new ways to access and move company data. We want someone who will test what that makes possible, find where data actually leaks, and show security teams what they found.\nYou might be a detection engineer, incident responder or insider-risk engineer who enjoys explaining your work. Or a security advocate, researcher or SE who wants more time to build. At Nightfall, you'll own technical investigations end to end and become a trusted public voice for the company with SOC, IR and data security practitioners.\nWhat you'll do\nRun \"The Model Did What?\" investigations. Test new models, agents and AI tools against realistic enterprise workflows. Find concrete data exposures, build working reproductions, and show where security controls hold or fail.\n\nExplain it on camera and in writing. Open your laptop and walk through what happened. Turn findings into technical videos, blog posts and demos that SOC and data security teams want to watch and share, working with our content team.\n\nBuild open-source tools. Ship detections, scanners, labs and utilities that practitioners actually use. Document them, respond to issues, and maintain them after launch.\n\nSpeak and teach. Give talks at security and engineering conferences (BSides, Black Hat, DEF CON villages and similar). Run hands-on workshops where participants reproduce the problem and test a defense themselves.\n\nBuild the community. Host or join podcasts, livestreams and practitioner communities. Bring what you hear from security teams back to product and marketing.\n\nEquip our sales engineers. Create realistic, resettable demo environments with synthetic data, plus the scenarios and documentation SEs need to run them on their own.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n5+ years in security engineering, detection engineering, incident response, insider risk/DLP, security research or sales engineering.\n\nAn established public voice in security: talks, a podcast, research write-ups, open-source projects or a following practitioners trust.\n\nYou can code, work with APIs and debug across unfamiliar systems.\n\nYou understand how enterprise data moves across SaaS, endpoints and AI tools, and how security controls like DLP, CASB, SIEM and EDR work.\n\nYou can explain a technical finding clearly and defend it under questioning.\n\nYou enjoy talking with security practitioners and engineers, on camera and in person.\n\nYou follow through on the software and content you publish.\n\nNice to have: experience as a security advocate, evangelist or DevRel at a security vendor; hands-on work with LLMs, AI agents or MCP; SOC or data security operations experience.\nPublic work can be a small tool, a strong write-up or a clear demo. We care about the quality of your thinking and what you built, not the title you held.\nEnvironment\nNightfall AI takes pride in being an equal-opportunity employer. We value a diverse and global talent pool and the collaboration that results from having a diverse and inclusive team. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. Our hiring decisions are based exclusively on merit, qualifications, and business needs.\nCompensation\nEmployee compensation will be determined based on interview performance, level of experience, specialization of skills, and market rate. During the offer discussion, your recruiter will review the finalized base salary, bonus (for applicable roles), benefits & perks, and stock options as they’ll be reflected in the offer letter.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4964,"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":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Security","Information Security","Data Loss Prevention"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T23:55:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nightfall-security-advocate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nightfall-security-advocate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T09:26:40Z","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":12763,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2061},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2061"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnightfall-security-advocate"},{"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%2Fnightfall-security-advocate"},{"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%2Fnightfall-security-advocate"},{"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/nightfall-security-advocate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnightfall-security-advocate"}]}
