Research Staff Member (Applied AI)

As a Research Staff Member (RSM) at Horizon3 focused on applied AI, you’ll turn cutting-edge research into real-world impact. Your mission: develop, prototype, and productionize AI systems that enhance our autonomous pentesting platform, powering reasoning, decision-making, and security insights at scale. You’ll work on everything from agentic workflows and LLM reasoning to reinforcement learning and graph algorithms, bridging the gap between theory and battlefield-tested cyber capabilities. This is where deep research meets operational relevance. Essential functions include designing, prototyping, and deploying AI-driven features, leading the development of agentic AI systems, exploring and implementing reinforcement learning and LLM-based reasoning, and translating academic research into production-ready capabilities. You will also collaborate with engineering and security teams, conduct novel research, and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.
