We combine cutting-edge technology with hands-on expertise to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats in real time. Our team brings together talent from intelligence, military, tech, and consulting backgrounds — all united by a shared mission: to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to every business, not just the big players.

About this role

We are looking for a Principal Cybersecurity Specialist (f/m/x) to help shape the future of cybersecurity research, innovation, and thought leadership at Eye Security. This is a high-impact position where you will combine deep technical expertise, original research, and emerging technologies such as AI to solve complex security challenges and influence both our products and operations.

In this role, you will operate at the forefront of cybersecurity, identifying opportunities, exploring new attack and defense techniques, building prototypes, and translating research into practical outcomes that benefit our customers and teams. You will work closely with Security Operations, Product, and Engineering while also helping represent Eye Security externally through technical content, research publications, and industry engagement.

This is a unique opportunity to join a highly respected research team with significant autonomy and freedom to explore. You will have the opportunity to pursue meaningful research, experiment with new ideas, and contribute to the advancement of cybersecurity both within Eye Security and across the broader security community.

This role reports directly to the CTO and can be based in Netherlands, Germany or Belgium.

About the Research & Innovation team

The R&I team at Eye Security works on problems that sit just ahead of the MDR, Incident Response, and Threat Hunting teams. That research work includes designing agentic and LLM-assisted tooling, performing offensive and vulnerability research, or investigating threat tradecraft that is relevant when it comes to protecting our customers and the platforms they rely on.

With significant freedom to explore and build, the team investigates emerging areas of cybersecurity to help Eye Security stay ahead of evolving threats.
