MercorSeattle, WAMay 15th, 2026
Cybersecurity Engineer - Blue TeamAbout the Role: Offensive AI benchmarks are everywhere. Blue-team evaluation is almost nonexistent. We're building the infrastructure to change that — credible, large-scale benchmarks for detection engineering, threat hunting, incident triage, malware analysis, and incident response. This role is for a practitioner who has lived the blue-team workflow and can translate that experience into rigorous evaluation design.What You'll DoDesign and build benchmark tasks grounded in real SOC and detection engineering work.Construct realistic evaluation environments — multi-host networks, Active Directory, cloud control planes — that go beyond toy single-container scenarios.Define what "correct" looks like for blue-team AI reasoning and build the infrastructure to measure it reproducibly at scale.What We're Looking ForHands-on blue-team experience in at least one of: detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, or malware analysis.Know what good analyst judgement looks like, enabling you to write evals that actually test it.Strong scripting and cloud / enterprise environment skills.Opinionated about what matters and why.Why It MattersMost AI security evals measure offense. Nobody has built a credible public benchmark for defense. If that gap bothers you, this is the role to fix it.J-18808-Ljbffr
