Senior Product Security Engineer

Role Description

Our team is growing, and we’re looking for a Senior Product Security Engineer to dig deep into our endpoint products, find design and implementation flaws, and help our product engineers fix problems and ship secure code. If you like to rip apart Linux applications to see how they work and find security flaws; if you want to actually play a part in fixing flaws rather than just reporting them and hoping for the best – we want to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

• Join project teams working on product improvements and new products as a security expert and advisor, influencing the design and capabilities of our world-class endpoint protection products, with a focus on the endpoint sensors.
• Create and update threat models to help drive security decisions.
• Read and review source code for applications, looking for security flaws and vulnerabilities; you’ll have tools to help you but you’ll be digging deeper than tools can.
• Think like a hacker and attack endpoint applications with kernel components, mostly before they go to production; again, you’ll have tools to help you, but you’ll do more than tools can.
• Work with developers to help them understand problems, risks, design weaknesses, etc. and figure out good solutions.
• Build tools and automation to make your life/your team’s life/developers’ lives easier.
• Validate and replicate some kinds of bug bounty reports, and hunt for similar issues in affected applications.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in engineering, ideally in security.
• Experience programming in or assessing security of C/C++ apps for Linux.
• Proficiency of system internals and security features for Linux.
• Comfort with concurrency considerations in multi-threaded applications.
• Understand the security implications of containerization and virtualization.
• A working understanding of how software products are created and shipped in Agile/DevOps like environments.
• A solid understanding of common software weaknesses that impact endpoint and client/server applications.
• Comfort with collaborating across technical teams: asking technical questions, challenging assumptions, getting or providing context for decisions, etc.
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points

• Rust & Go programming.
• Experience with debuggers like Ghidra, IDA Pro, or other similar tools.
• Experience developing/maintaining automation for application security tasks.
• Experience developing and using threat models, especially using STRIDE.
• Application penetration testing experience, especially if it includes testing against install packages and control bypass methods.
• Reverse-engineering or malware analysis, or related security research capabilities.

Benefits

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards.
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs.
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge.
• Paid parental and adoption leaves.
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role.
• Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections.
• Vibrant office culture with world class amenities.
• Great Place to Work Certified™ across the globe.
