Identify, formulate, and drive research problems at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and computer systems.

Translate real technical challenges from Horizon3's products, security environments, and research agenda into well-defined research questions.

Independently develop research directions, technical hypotheses, and experimental plans.

Design and lead rigorous experiments in controlled and representative environments, with careful attention to assumptions, baselines, failure modes, and limitations.

Build research prototypes and technical systems, or provide sufficient technical direction for others to implement and evaluate them.

Study and evaluate modern AI techniques, including large language models, agentic systems, reasoning methods, learning algorithms, planning, search, and related approaches when relevant to the research problem.

Reason over complex security data and environments, including attack paths, telemetry, graphs, configurations, identities, networks, cloud environments, and other heterogeneous system data.

Read and critically evaluate academic and technical literature, identify gaps and useful ideas, and determine where existing methods do or do not apply to Horizon3's problems.

Develop evaluation methodologies that measure whether a proposed research approach actually works in realistic security settings.

Work closely with attack engineers, security engineers, product teams, and other technical groups to understand operational constraints and evaluate research results.

Provide technical mentorship and research guidance to junior Research Staff Members and interns.

Help junior researchers refine research questions, evaluate technical approaches, interpret experimental results, and improve the quality of their work.
