Description

As a Security Researcher you will focus on simulating our most advanced adversaries against our data collection products affecting thousands of customers.

You will acquire significant knowledge of the web application security field, building new machine learning data collection methods and helping to scale the Bright Data collection platform to new levels as our customer base continues to grow.

Why You'll Love It

You'll be reversing some of the best anti-bot systems on the planet - it doesn't get more cutting-edge than this.

You'll have a real say in the projects you're part of - this isn't a "just execute" kind of role.

You can actively shape the way this team works - it's still being built, and your fingerprints will be on it.

Got an idea? You can take it straight to the COO - no red tape, no politics.

The people make it - SecRes and Bright Data are genuinely great teams to be part of.
