We believe that organizations should not adopt AI on their endpoints without observability in place, and we want to be the platform that maximizes the productivity & safety of that adoption.\nThe company exists to maximize the diffusion of intelligence inside an organization, maximize the productivity of agentic systems and the humans driving them, keep agent actions traceable end-to-end so that when a user asks for something in a prompt they can verify the agent actually did what was expected, and give organizations one interface to answer the hardest questions they have about how work gets done.\nOur platform monitors and protects some of the most important organizations in the world. We are backed by Sequoia Capital, Brightmind Ventures, IA Ventures and other top firms.\nRole\nOrigin is seeking an AI Security Researcher to investigate the evolving intersection of adversarial tradecraft and modern generative AI systems. This role focuses on understanding how attackers misuse or weaponize LLMs, on-device assistants (such as Computer Use Agents), autonomous agents, code-generation models, and multi-modal AI systems, and on translating this research into impactful defensive capabilities within Origin’s products.\nSuccess in this role requires deep curiosity, strong technical intuition, hands-on experimentation, and the ability to convert ambiguous research signals into clear, actionable engineering outcomes.\nResponsibilities\nConduct in-depth research into how modern adversaries may evolve tradecraft to exploit or abuse generative AI tools, including LLMs, autonomous agents, and on-device assistants\n\nConduct hands-on research into adversarial prompting, jailbreak methods, tradecraft leveraging computer use agents and local models, and other AI-enabled attack vectors\n\nTranslate and implement research findings into actionable improvements for Origin’s products\n\nProduce high-quality, public-facing security research content, including blog posts and conference talks\n\nStay abreast of cutting-edge offensive and defensive security techniques through continuous self-study and research\n\nServe as the subject matter expert in adversary tradecraft and security operations, supporting other business units on their projects as needed\n\nSupport other Researchers on the team with their research and actively engage in team-driven initiatives\n\nSkills and Experience\n5+ years of experience in one or both of the following areas:\nOffensive security research, such as red team operations or purple teaming\n\nDefensive security research, for purposes of publication and security feature development\n\nAbility to write code for development of research tooling\n\nAbility to explain complex technical concepts and research outputs to both executive-level and highly technical consumers\n\nAptitude for working in a fast-paced, adaptive startup environment\n\nNice to Haves\nDemonstrated experience investigating or exploiting generative AI systems, prompt engineering, jailbreaks, model exploitation, or agentic misuse\n\nFamiliarity with reinforcement learning, model interpretability, or safety research\n\nContributions to open-source AI or security tooling\n\nPrior publications, conference presentations\n\nProficient in at least one systems language (Rust, C/C++)\n\nKnowledge of operating system internals and reverse engineering\n\nWorking at Origin\nOrigin is a distributed team across the US, Canada, Australia, and Israel. We have a culture built on trust, autonomy, and excellence. We empower our team to take ownership, move with purpose, and continuously improve. Our culture values top performers who align with our mission and embrace high standards. We offer generous healthcare, flexible PTO, and home-office support, ensuring our team has the freedom and resources to thrive. While we move fast, we prioritize quality, collaboration, and remain committed to building impactful security solutions with precision.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4019,"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":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Organic Food","Online Groceries"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-12-11T20:07:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.115,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":312,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-senior-security-researcher-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-senior-security-researcher-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T18:10:07Z","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":20848,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5018},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5018"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forigin-senior-security-researcher-ai"},{"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%2Forigin-senior-security-researcher-ai"},{"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%2Forigin-senior-security-researcher-ai"},{"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/origin-senior-security-researcher-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forigin-senior-security-researcher-ai"}]}
