SRLabs is home to knowledge leaders in the areas of telco security, IoT hardware hacking, Blockchain, AI security, and software security more broadly. We focus on knowledge sharing and continuous learning – achieved through our research combined with the selection of interesting client projects, ranging from enterprise software to Web3 and AI-powered systems, that position us at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. Our research regularly reaches a global audience through conference talks and publications, and widely used open-source tools. Join our team as a Security Engineer to help clients ship software that stands up to attackers. We're hiring at the junior to mid-level, so whether you're early in your security career or have a couple of years of hands-on experience, we are looking for an ethical hacker at heart who thinks like an attacker. You’ll build and improve the tooling behind our software assurance work, run attacker-mindset audits across enterprise, Web3, and AI-powered systems, and work directly with client teams to strengthen their SDLC.
