About Role We're looking to grow our Technical Marketing Team to support the high growth and global expansion plans of Picus. In this role, you'll go deep on real-world threats and turn that research into technical content that shows the market what Picus can actually do, surfacing the platform's technical depth and what sets it apart in exposure validation. It's a role that builds two things at once: your own name in the security community through published research, talks, and hands-on work, and Picus's growth as that content shapes how the market understands the category. Our research is regularly picked up and cited by the wider community, from major news organizations like Reuters, the Associated Press, and Forbes, to specialist security outlets including Dark Reading, BleepingComputer, Infosecurity Magazine, SCWorld, and Help Net Security, as well as community platforms like Hacker News. Our work has also been referenced by industry authorities such as MITRE ATT&CK and Gartner, and cited in high-impact academic journals. You'll have the opportunity to take your work on sta ge at industry conferences such as Black Hat and GovWare, and at local meetups and user groups. You'll be constantly challenged to develop your knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and share what you learn with the world, doing meaningful research for a fast-growing cyber security company. Are you a SOC analyst, security consultant, threat hunter, security engineer, or red/blue/purple team member looking to transition into a more research- and publication-focused role? Do you blog or contribute to the security community, speaking at conferences or user groups? Then this role is for you.
