Original job description

Role: Security Research Engineer – AI & Emerging Cybersecurity

Location: Toronto, ON

Work Model: Hybrid

Job Summary

We are seeking a Security Research Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in cybersecurity research, software engineering, AI/GenAI security, Agentic AI, and emerging security technologies.

The ideal candidate will combine the mindset of a security researcher, software engineer, and emerging-technology evaluator. This role requires someone who can move from a research hypothesis to working code, proof-of-concept, technical evaluation, and ultimately an enterprise-ready recommendation.

The candidate will research and prototype emerging cybersecurity capabilities, build AI-driven security solutions, evaluate cybersecurity products and startups, and help transition successful innovations into operational environments.

Key Responsibilities

Research and evaluate emerging cybersecurity technologies, including AI Security, Agentic AI, Application Security, vulnerability research, quantum security/PQC, blockchain security, and cloud/infrastructure security.
Design and build AI security harnesses, autonomous security agents, prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and experimentation environments.
Develop and integrate LLMs, AI agents, tool calling, APIs, security tools, automation frameworks, and cloud/containerized environments.
Conduct hands-on research in AI red teaming, agent security, autonomous penetration testing, adversarial testing, and AI-native security tooling.
Perform technical evaluations, benchmarking, proof-of-concept testing, and technical due diligence of cybersecurity products, platforms, and emerging startups.
Validate vendor claims and assess security effectiveness, scalability, architecture, integration complexity, operational readiness, and enterprise applicability.
Design experiments and measurable evaluation frameworks to compare emerging security technologies and capabilities.
Identify promising research outcomes and help transition successful prototypes into production or operational security capabilities.
Collaborate with security engineering, architecture, software engineering, and leadership teams to translate research findings into actionable recommendations.
Present technical findings, research outcomes, product evaluations, and recommendations to engineering leadership, cybersecurity executives, and investment/venture stakeholders.
Produce high-quality technical documentation, research reports, architecture assessments, and presentations.

Required Technical Skills

Strong hands-on software development/programming experience in one or more of:
Python
Java
Node.js
Go
C/C++
Strong knowledge of cybersecurity research and security engineering, including:
Application Security
AI/GenAI Security
Vulnerability Research
Threat Modeling
Secure Software Development
Network Security
Infrastructure/Cloud Security
Security Architecture
Hands-on experience with LLMs, AI agents, agent orchestration, tool calling, APIs, and AI automation.
Experience working with cloud platforms, containers, APIs, automation frameworks, and security tooling.
Demonstrated ability to design experiments, develop working prototypes, build POCs, and evaluate emerging technologies.
Strong understanding of security testing methodologies and the ability to assess new technologies from both technical and enterprise perspectives.
Strong technical writing, documentation, communication, and presentation skills.

Preferred / Highly Valued Experience

Experience with AI red teaming, autonomous penetration testing, Agentic AI security, or AI-native cybersecurity products.
Research or practical experience in quantum computing security, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), blockchain security, or other emerging technologies.
Published research papers, technical articles, conference presentations, or presentations at recognized cybersecurity, AI, or systems forums.
Cybersecurity startup, founder, early-stage product development, accelerator, or innovation-lab experience.
Experience evaluating or conducting technical due diligence on cybersecurity startups and emerging security products.
Experience presenting or pitching technical solutions to venture capital, corporate venture, investment, accelerator, or executive stakeholders.
Patents, open-source cybersecurity projects, vulnerability research, CVEs, exploit research, or other demonstrated technical innovation.
Experience building security research platforms, experimentation frameworks, or automated security testing environments.

Education & Certifications

Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
PhD is highly desirable, particularly in Cybersecurity, AI, Computer Science, or a related research field.
Preferred certifications include CISSP, OSCP, CSSLP, or equivalent cybersecurity certifications.
