Security Researcher

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries. 

About the Product: 

Our client, Coro, over the past few years has received $275M in funding and is one of the fastest growing Cybersecurity companies in the world. The funding is primarily being used to enhance the Coro Cybersecurity SaaS platform and for additional headcount growth, as Coro continues to expand globally. 

Coro started in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and is also headquartered in Chicago, IL, with additional offices in New York, London, and remotely across the globe. As a global organization, Coro gives you the ability to work with people and teammates from around the world. 

Coro’s AI-enabled Modular Cybersecurity Platform is the only one in the industry specifically designed to provide Mid-Market customers with scalable and affordable “enterprise-grade” protection for all of their priority threat vectors.

About the Role: 

At Coro, you’ll own email security research end-to-end: dissecting phishing and malicious email campaigns, pulling apart attacker tradecraft, and building detection logic that scales to protect thousands of customers daily. You’ll have sole responsibility for this domain, which means autonomy, accountability, and the ability to directly influence how Coro stops attackers.

Key Responsibilities: 

 

• Own email threat research and detection: analyze real-world phishing and malicious emails, identify attacker techniques, and translate findings into new or improved detection rules.
• Maintain and extend internal detection tools: debug and develop multi-file Python/Shell scripts used daily by researchers and engineers.
• Collaborate across teams: work with Engineering, Product, and Data to turn research insights into production-grade features and detection logic.
• SIEM/log analysis: Investigate incidents by reviewing logs from customer devices, understanding tool internals, and suggesting improvements to log collection and analysis.
• Stay ahead of attackers: monitor emerging threats and protocols (SMTP, HTTP/HTTPS), apply knowledge of OS internals (especially Windows), and feed new insights into the detection engine.

Required Competence and Skills:

• At least 4 years in security research or closely related fields 
• Previous experience with aspects of security in networks, software, and/or hardware
• Experienced with Python and/or similar language to debug and maintain multi-file research tools
• Solid understanding of Email & network protocols
• Hands-on experience with OS internals
• Ability to interpret logs, understand how SIEM tools work, and apply findings to incident investigation
• Security mindset and autonomy, ability to proactively spot and raise vulnerabilities, work independently, and communicate risks.

Nice to have:

• Perl/Shell experience.
• Reverse engineering skills
• Malware analysis background
• Familiarity with vulnerability assessment tools
• Cloud security (AWS or others).
