We are looking for a Senior Security Researcher to join our team! Email, chat, and the web are an integral part of our everyday lives. They are essential for communication and productivity; while also providing the primary ways cybercriminals exploit victims and infiltrate organizations.

In this role, you will play a key role in driving technical projects to accelerate research, enhance and enrich understanding of the threat landscape, and improve protection. You’ll also research, investigate, and mitigate the latest threats; conduct deep research and experimentation on new durable protection strategies; and collaborate with a diverse team of data scientists, researchers, engineers, and product managers to protect a global customer base. Together, we are redefining messaging and web security using the latest technology, unparalleled data and intelligence systems, and a collaborative and inclusive team culture.
