About the Role
Role details below.
Responsibilities
- Conduct deep-dive research into emerging attack vectors to analyze vulnerability data and identify potential attack paths.
- Assess vulnerability risks to develop tailored, actionable mitigation strategies and plans that address security gaps in critical systems.
- Rapidly architect and build prototypes, PoCs, and detection tools. You won’t just theorize; you will write code (Python/Go/C) to test security hypotheses and demonstrate feasibility.
- Design and validate algorithms based on network and application telemetry to detect complex exploit primitives (RCE, SQLi, Memory Corruption) at the execution boundary.
- Partner with R&D and Product teams to translate complex research findings into production-grade security features, ensuring our engine evolves faster than the threat landscape.
- Articulate security visions and research findings to the broader community through blogs, webinars, and industry conferences, reinforcing Qualys as a thought leader in the space.
Benefits
- Mandate to innovate
- Freedom to research
- Resources to build engines that define the state of the art in cyber defense
Work Arrangement
Hybrid
Additional Information
- This role is for a creator who bridges advanced threat research and active defense.
- Candidate must be a builder, not just an analyst.
- Work location: Pune, India (Hybrid) or Remote.
- Department: Research.
- Must have a hacker mindset and preference for architecting solutions over maintaining legacy views.
