Responsibilities

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 small 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
