About the Job:

We are seeking junior Detection Engineers who look for their first (or second) steps in the Cybersecurity industry. The position is in our Research department, focusing on detection rules in the domains of Enterprise Copilots, GenAI technologies, and Low-code/No-code platforms. This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with Inbar Raz, a prominent figure in the security research community known for his pioneering work and thought leadership. Inbar’s extensive expertise and innovative approach to security research will not only guide but also inspire your work, making Zenity a place where your contributions can have a significant impact on the future of application security. This role will set you on a path into the Cybersecurity world and let you evolve your skills into the directions of a security researcher or a security engineer.

Responsibilities:

• Create new detection rules based on detailed research and requirements. Write, test, deploy, and monitor performance.
• Tier-1 response for issues with existing rules: False Positive/False Negative (missed detection), customer requests, platform changes, threat-landscape changes, and more.
• Research and evaluate rule performance according to KPIs and bases on customer data and real-world performance.
• Develop, maintain, and improve in-house tools for research and rule-writing life-cycle.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers in improving the performance and features of the Zenity line of products.
  
  

• Relevant professional and/or academic education:
• Last-year BA/BSc students in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field. More advanced education is welcome;
• Relevant military courses;
• Other relevant formal training (in-person or online).
• Working proficiency in Python.
• Experience in at least high-level programming language.
• Proven self-learning experience. This is a must - if you only learn new things when you're told to, this is likely not the role for you.
• Understanding of security principles, protocols, and best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively. If you commonly get stuck and instead of giving up you find a solution - we want you.
• Self-driven and able to work independently, with a proactive attitude towards continuous learning and constant improvement.
