Join the team
We hire rarely, and only senior researchers.
There's no bench at AF Digital Security — everyone here does hands-on research on live engagements from day one. We're small on purpose, and we grow slowly.
01 — How we work
What it's actually like
Fully remote, real overlap hours
We work across time zones but keep a shared four-hour overlap window for live collaboration.
Research time is protected
A portion of every week is set aside for open-ended research with no client deliverable attached.
You publish under your own name
Advisories and writeups credit the researcher who did the work, not just the company.
Small caseload, high depth
Researchers carry one or two engagements at a time — never a queue of shallow reviews.
Conference and training budget
Support to attend, speak at, or run training alongside major security conferences.
No on-call, no pager
This is research work, not incident response — the pace is set by the engagement, not an alert.
