We are looking for a Android Security Researcher II.
The Security Researcher focuses on deep research of new vulnerabilities
and exploits, including how to use this knowledge to the benefit of our customers and the security product suite.
The work includes reverse engineering, so requires a deep understanding of the target operating system, and relevant tools and techniques. Depending on the specific role, Security Researchers will be expected to deliver product detection enhancements (including code and/or rules), POCs of exploits, CVEs, and marketable research.
Security Researchers will have access to cutting-edge technology only found within the Threat Labs team.
Security Researchers analyze customer detections, informing our response and further development of our proprietary threat intelligence and security capabilities.
What you can expect to do in this role:
Perform research, including reverse engineering, into novel and zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits, using of in-house and 3rd party tooling, providing recommendations on how to protect our customers.
Perform analysis of customer detections generated by our platform to determine accuracy; recommend detection changes accordingly.
Research new ways to detect malicious activity using custom-built tooling.
Stay up to date on the latest malware trends and OS developments.
Development and maintenance of custom research tools to assist in day-to-day tasks.
Support sales and marketing by supporting the creation of marketable material and thought leadership.
Perform other duties and special projects as assigned.
Customer value focus with the ability to quickly iterate based on emerging threats and customer feedback
