Senior Principal Security Researcher
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 researcher who has genuine excitement for and interest in computer security and vulnerability research. 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 Are
We are a world-class team of high calibre 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 organisation has the mission 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 Do
As 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 secure systems design, 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. Other responsibilities include:
Designing and evaluating complex systems for computer security
Scope and execute security assessments and vulnerability research
Perform in-depth security assessments using results from static and dynamic analysis
Create testing tools to help engineering teams identify security-related weaknesses
Collaborate with engineering teams to help them triage and fix security issues
Mentor members of the team in computer and software security as a role model
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field (e.g. Electrical Engineering)
12+ years of relevant experience in one or more of the following areas: software/product security assessments, penetration testing, red teaming, web application assessments
Interest in vulnerability research and exploit development
Understanding of operating systems, CPU instruction sets and their associated security designs
Understanding of exploit mitigations (DEP, ASLR, CFG, PAC, CET, etc.)
Demonstrable experience in designing and evaluating complex systems for security
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
Must be legally authorized to work in the US without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future

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:
Mobile Application Assessment (iOS / Android)Reverse Engineering (e.g. IDA Pro/Ghidra/Frida)Fuzzing (e.g. Jazzer/AFL/Peach)Web Application assessment (e.g. Burp Suite Proxy, ZAP, REST API testing)
Proven experience with security research including any published CVEs
Experience developing proof of concept exploits bypassing modern exploit mitigations
Active participant or organiser of Capture The Flag competitions
Knowledge of common vulnerabilities in different types of software and programming languages, including:How to test for/exploit themReal world mitigations that can be applied
Familiarity with vulnerability classification frameworks (e.g. OWASP Top 10, CVSS, MITRE CVE)
What We’ll Give You
A team of very skilled and diverse personnel across the globe
Ability to work in a hybrid work environment
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 organisation filled with smart, enthusiastic, and motivated colleagues
The opportunity to impact and improve our systems and delight our customers
