Zoom is seeking a Senior Security Researcher to operate at the intersection of offensive security and applied AI. You will surface critical risks across products, applications, services, and infrastructure, using advanced models and deep target knowledge to form hypotheses and verify exploitability.

Expect high autonomy and collaboration with Security Assurance teams. You will design research harnesses, develop tooling, and translate model outputs into defensible evidence that informs

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on vulnerability research or similar security work.
• Experience with frontier/open-weight models in offensive workflows.
• Strong ability to read unfamiliar code and build research tooling.
• Excellent communication to technical and nontechnical audiences.

Responsibilities

• Leverage AI to conduct vulnerability research across Zoom's products, applications, services, and infrastructure, focusing on high-impact issues and confirmed exploitability.
• Use experience, threat analysis, architecture knowledge, source code, and observed system behavior to guide investigations.
• Apply frontier and open-weight models, agents, and other AI capabilities across the research lifecycle: reconnaissance, code analysis, hypothesis generation, exploit development, and verification.
• Design and tune research harnesses that give models the right context, tools, execution environments, and feedback to investigate real targets.
• Develop custom tooling, including analysis utilities, fuzzers, agents, test harnesses, proofs of concept, and full exploits, when needed.
• Convert promising model output into defensible security evidence: reproduce findings, rule out false claims, establish preconditions, and distinguish weaknesses from exploitable vulnerabilities.
• Improve reliability and reach of AI-driven research by addressing false positives/negatives, context limits, nondeterminism, and reproducibility.
• Work with Engineering and Product Security to communicate findings, support remediation, and verify fixes.
• Share tools, techniques, and lessons learned to enhance processes through AI.
