The engineer collaborates with architects, engineering teams, resource owners, and Security Operations to reduce privilege, protect distributed systems, and investigate or revoke compromised access.

Conduct hands-on penetration testing of embedded and IoT hardware, including debug-interface access, firmware extraction, bus analysis, reverse engineering, side-channel testing, and fault injection. Develop lab tooling, identify exploitable vulnerabilities, assess physical attack surfaces, document reproducible findings, and advise clients on remediation. The role also involves client communication, technical reporting, research, methodology development, and maintaining test rigs.

Build and secure CI/CD pipelines for an enterprise data platform in a cloud environment, preferably Azure. Responsibilities include automated security scanning, policy enforcement, secrets and credential management, Zero Trust implementation, infrastructure as code, continuous compliance, ATO evidence collection, and collaboration with cloud, data, governance, and security teams. The role is fully remote and contingent on contract award.

Analyze software and firmware patches through binary diffing, reverse engineering, and static and dynamic vulnerability analysis. Perform root-cause analysis, validate security fixes and patch mitigation, document findings, and support AI-assisted software verification workflows. The role requires proficiency with disassembly tools, debuggers, C, C++, Python, and Linux, along with an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.

Develop and improve Tailscale’s security and privacy features, identify and resolve technical vulnerabilities, conduct security audits, perform threat modeling, and guide engineering teams on secure coding. The role spends at least half its time writing software and requires knowledge of application security, web vulnerabilities, client-side security, API flaws, cryptography, and networking protocols.

Leads cybersecurity engineering initiatives, evaluates and integrates security tools, researches threats and vulnerabilities, conducts risk assessments, develops technical recommendations, mentors staff, supports OT security, establishes engineering standards, automates cybersecurity processes, and builds enterprise reporting dashboards using Power BI, Splunk, and Microsoft Sentinel.

Own client onboarding, satisfaction KPIs, technical support, and renewal enablement for managed security services. Translate security operations, threat actor activity, tools, and service outcomes for technical and executive audiences.
