Your next project could be anything from a secure systems design, static and dynamic analysis of a multi-node microservice infrastructure, to writing a fuzzer for an undocumented network protocol or the grammar of a new programming language, or analysis and reverse engineering of firmware used in the thousands of servers supporting our cloud services. Other responsibilities include:
1. Designing and evaluating complex systems for security
2. Scope and execute security assessments and vulnerability research
3. Perform in-depth security assessments using results from static and dynamic analysis
4. Create testing tools to help engineering teams identify security-related weaknesses
5. Keep yourself abreast of new TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures) of the attackers, mimic them in your technical security risk assessments and/or quickly react to new threat scenarios to provide continuous security assurance
6. Collaborate with engineering teams to help them triage and fix security issues
7. Mentor members of the team in software security as a role model
