SECURITYFOCUS JOBS - NEW OPPORTUNITY
---------------------------------------------------
JOB DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------
Position: Security Researcher
Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
Type: Permanent F/T
Closing Date: 2008-09-12
Come join Flexilis! We're a venture-funded startup solving big problems on small devices.
We believe that people should be able to use their mobile phones without having to worry about hackers, viruses, or other hazards of modern life. We're building a product that keeps your mobile phone (and millions of others) safe from all sorts of nasty things: a product people want because it actually makes their lives easier.
We are looking for smart, dedicated people who have a passion for building great software and solving tough problems. Our product touches so many diverse technologies and engineering fields that you will always have a fun challenge to work on and will likely learn something new every day.
Why Flexilis?
We build things people want. We do cool research. We protect people. We have fun.
We love creating useful, usable, and technologically game-changing software. If we do things right, your work will be instrumental in helping people all over the world be safe.
Besides building something meaningful, here's why you'll love working here:
- We're a start-up: it's fun, dynamic, and you will make a difference.
- We've got smart people without bureaucracy or politics.
- We work in a loft (no cubes here!) in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles: a short subway ride or drive away from most of the city and walking distance from music, art galleries, restaurants, apartments, and night life.
- We're funded by top-tier venture and angel investors who have helped build companies such as Sun Microsystems, PayPal, Juniper Networks, Good Technology, and Symantec.
- We offer generous salaries, benefits, and stock options.
- You'll have the important, little perks such as a fast computer with two big monitors, a laptop, a smartphone, and free food and drinks.
What you’ll be doing:
We are looking for someone who lives and breathes security. You will be helping to lead a major change in security on mobile phones. You will be researching new attacks and malware, building security tools, and directly contributing to our core software which protects mobile phones and the people who use them (which just so happens to be almost everybody on the planet). You will also be involved with the security research community and be responsible for vendor vulnerability communication.
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze and find mobile malware
- Develop new internal security tools
- Make sure we secure people from all of the latest threats
- Try to hack our own products
- Research new ways to attack and defend mobile devices
- Help develop our core security algorithms and architecture
- Strong understanding of operating system internals
- Programming ability (preferably C, Ruby)
Bonus Points:
- Strong software development abilities (preferably C, Ruby)
- Experience with vulnerability disclosure
- Past public security research
- Experience developing anti-virus/anti-malware or intrusion prevention systems
- Statistical analysis and/or AI development experience
