We find weaknesses before attackers do, then build the solutions that eliminate them. You'll be the expert engineering and product teams turn to for AI security and native-code security guidance, providing security guidance on a constant stream of new products, leading internal security/privacy initiatives, assessing and responding to internet threats, and conducting security assessments specializing in mobile platform and application code. The work protects 3B+ people.

Nice to have: iOS/Android security model, VM escapes, exploitation / reverse engineering / CTF, static analysis and fuzzing, Rust / Obj-C / Java/Kotlin, community contributions (research, talks, bug bounty), and experience using AI tools to improve security workflows.
