As a Security Research Engineer at Maze, you'll be at the forefront of defining what constitutes real security risk in the age of AI-powered vulnerability detection. This is a unique opportunity to join our growing security research team at a well-funded startup building at the intersection of generative AI and cybersecurity, where your security expertise directly shapes how our AI models understand and prioritize cloud security threats.

You'll spend the majority of your time as the expert human-in-the-loop, analyzing cloud vulnerability findings from our AI systems, conducting deep research to validate and contextualize threats, and creating the authoritative labels that train our models to distinguish critical risks from noise. Working alongside other security researchers, you'll help scale our labeling operations while providing critical input into product development decisions based on real-world threat patterns you discover.

This role is perfect for a security researcher who wants to pioneer the future of AI-assisted threat detection, loves diving deep into cloud security vulnerabilities, and wants to see their security insights amplified through cutting-edge technology while contributing to a growing team.
