About the job:

We're looking for a talented AI Security Researcher to join our team and play a critical role in Wiz's foundational, risk-driven approach to cloud security. This role requires deep technical research into complex cloud- and AI-native environments to identify the most significant, unaddressed risks.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct deep technical research to discover and report novel risks and attack vectors specific to modern cloud- and AI-native architectures and systems.
• Discover and articulate the highest unaddressed risk areas, working with Product and Engineering teams to translate research into product capabilities.
• Define necessary foundational product capabilities by delivering both compelling proofs of risk (demonstrating impact) and technical POCs (showing how to solve it).
• Work closely with Product and Engineering teams to ensure comprehensive risk coverage and support the investigation of new and complex product scope.
