Data Security Researcher

Sitting at the intersection of security research and data analysis, you’ll work closely with research and engineering teams across the company to develop high-impact security controls that keep our customers safe.

About miggo

• We're Miggo — a cybersecurity startup on a mission to stop app-layer breaches before they happen.
• Founded in 2023 and backed by top tier cyber VCs, we’re building the world’s first Application Detection & Response (ADR) platform.

Why?

• Because 80% of cyber attacks target the app layer, and current tools just don’t cut it.
• Miggo brings visibility into how apps actually behave at runtime, spotting risky flows and shutting down threats in real time.
• If you're excited to shape the future of app security from the inside out — join us.
• At Miggo, we live by four core principles: We make it customer-focused , putting user needs at the heart of everything we build.
• We make it happen , driven by a can-do mindset and an obsession with winning.
• We make it better , always pushing boundaries, learning new things and owning our impact.
• And most importantly, we make it together — one team, working hard, laughing harder, and thriving on diverse perspectives.
• What you'll do Miggo is looking for a Security Analyst who loves to deeply analyze CVEs and build effective mitigations.
• Enjoy analyzing complex security data to uncover actionable insights that drive product and engineering decisions.
• Your analysis will directly shape how our mitigations are built, measured, and improved, and how our customers stay protected against the newest threats.
• You’ll join a small, passionate team building from the ground up, where your ideas, research, and insights will have a visible impact every day.

Responsibilities

• Own the answer to “do our mitigations actually work, and how do we know?” Build tools to evaluate and improve agentic workflows that generate WAF rules and runtime detections.
• Prioritize and analyze newly disclosed CVEs on a daily basis to support effective WAF rule creation.
• Analyze coverage levels across various CVE groups, attack vectors, and bug classes.
• Conduct data-driven research to optimize automated workflows and recommend next-generation mitigation capabilities.
• Perform ad-hoc data analysis to support security research and engineering initiatives.
• Excel at collaborating with engineers to trace data flows, identify anomalies, and refine data pipelines.

Requirements

• Want to define and monitor quality metrics that ensure the efficacy of security products.
• Continuously question assumptions, challenge inconsistencies, and hold high standards for both data and security integrity.
• Naturally lean on quantitative evidence to prove a point and back up your security hypotheses.
• What you have 5+ years of experience as a security researcher.
• Proven ability to extract, synthesize, and present clear insights from complex security datasets.
• Strong quantitative approach to problem-solving.
• Why You’ll Love Working at Miggo?

Preferred

• Love diving deep into newly disclosed CVEs actively exploited in the wild.
• Prior experience with Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or runtime detections is a plus.
• Hands-on experience or background in Data Analysis / Data Science is a strong advantage.

At Miggo, you’ll sit where security research meets real-world data.
