Do you have a passion for high-scale services and working with some of Oracle's most critical customers? We are seeking experienced, passionate, and talented security researchers who have genuine excitement for and interest in security.
You must relish the challenge of assessing large, complex software products.
Creativity is highly valued; being able to find novel bugs and stitch them together to create something greater than the sum of their parts is essential in this role.
Who We AreWe are a world-class team of high-caliber application security researchers and analysts who thrive on new challenges.
We are an inclusive and diverse team with a full spectrum of experience distributed globally.
We have the resources of a large enterprise and the energy of a start-up, working on a critical Greenfield software assurance project collaboratively with our cloud and mobile engineering teams.
The Software Assurance organization has the mission is to make application security and software assurance, at scale, a reality.
We are a dedicated team, leveraging each other's insights and abilities to produce cutting-edge solutions to difficult problems through automation and CI/CD.
Join us to grow your career and create the future of software assurance at scale together.
Work You'll DoAs a member of our team, you will be responsible for planning and delivering in-depth security assessments across a variety of products and services.
Your next project could be anything from static and dynamic analysis of a multi-node Java infrastructure, to writing a fuzzer for an undocumented network protocol or the grammar of a new programming language, to analysis and reverse engineering of firmware used in the thousands of servers supporting our cloud services.
Few other responsibilities includes as below Scope and execute security assessments across a broad range of on premise software, cloud services and infrastructure Perform in-depth security assessments using results from static and dynamic analysis Perform in-depth security assessments leveraging results from other assessments such as static, dynamic, pen testing, red team operations, bug bounty, responsible disclosure and etc.
Manual source code reviews Create testing tools to help engineering teams identify security-related weaknesses Collaborate with engineering teams to help them triage and fix security issues Keep yourself abreast of new TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures) of the attackers, mimic them in your security assessments and/or quickly react to new threat scenarios to provide continuous security assurance Mentor junior members of the team in software security as a role model What You'll BringBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field (e.
g.
Electrical Engineering) 10
years industry experience with 5
years in IT security in one or more of the following areas:
software/product security assessments, penetration testing, red teaming, web application assessments Aptitude for self-study, setting and achieving long term goals (for example, learning an unfamiliar programming language) Ability to effectively assess and communicate risks and appropriate levels of urgency to management and engineering staff Excellent organizational, presentation, verbal, and written communication skills This role requires presence in our Columbia, MD or Denver, CO office dedicated to the team This role does not require access to a cleared work environment.
Security clearances are not required, and active clearances cannot be sponsored.
Nice to Have Experience working in a large cloud or Internet software company Proficiency with one or more programming languages, preferably Go, Java, Python or C/C+
Ability to perform manual source code reviews in one of the aforementioned languages, or assisted review with code analysis tools such as CodeQL Experience navigating and working with extremely large codebases is also highly desirable Experience using common security assessment tools and techniques in one or more the following categories:
Proficiency in performing mobile application assessment (iOS / Android) Reverse Engineering (e.
g.
IDA Pro/Ghidra/Radare2) and debugging codebase with the objective to find security gaps/vulnerabilities Proficiency in Fuzzing (e.
g.
Jazzer/AFL/Peach) techniques to inject invalid, malformed, or unexpected inputs into a system to reveal software defects and vulnerabilities.
Proficiency in advanced Mobile, API, Infrastructure, Web Application penetration testing to find vulnerabilities such as insecure Java/PHP/PHAR deserialization, XXE, HTTP desynchronization, cryptography weaknesses (exploiting ECB Shuffling, CBC Bit Flipping and etc.
), Mass assignments, template injections, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocol issues and etc.
Knowledge of common vulnerabilities in different types of software and programming languages, including:
How to test for/exploit them Real world mitigations that can be applied Familiarity with vulnerability classification frameworks (e.
g.
OWASP Top 10) Ability to threat model systems/applications/platforms to assess design and find flaws that can be exploited What We'll Give You A team of very skilled and diverse personnel across the globe Exposure to mind blowing large-scale cutting-edge systems The resources of a large, global operation while still having the small, start-up feel of a smaller team day to day Develop new skills and competencies working with our vast cloud product offerings Ongoing extensive training and skills development to further your career aspirations Incredible benefits and company perks An organization filled with smart, enthusiastic, and motivated colleagues The opportunity to impact and improve our systems and delight our customers Recommended Skills Api Assessments C+
