In this role, you will make security decisions that impact millions of our customers while gaining hands-on experience in exploit development and CVE discovery. The ideal candidate will combine an attacker mindset with the humility and detail-oriented attitude required to coordinate fixes and security architecting with busy engineers.\nYour primary responsibility will be to coordinate with more senior members of our team to write exploits and design fixes for existing application vulnerabilities. You will also help search for new critical/high risk vulnerabilities in our codebase. In addition, you will assist in vulnerability disclosure processes and help implement repeatable secure development practices.\nAs issues are uncovered, you will communicate with the appropriate technical and leadership teams to ensure a focus on risk mitigation – allowing for business continuity, but without negligent risk. Application security engineers are constantly assessing applications for weaknesses and finding resolutions before they can be abused.\nParallels: anytime, anywhere, any-device productivity.\n\nWhy Parallels, why now?\nThe top creative and technical minds could sell anywhere. So why are so many choosing Parallels? Three reasons:\nThis is the moment. It's an exciting time at Parallels — strong leadership, a refreshed brand, and a whole new approach to how the world works. The EUC market is shifting fast, and we're at the front of that wave. We want you riding it with us.\nWe want you to be you. Too many companies tell you about their culture and then expect you to fit it. Ours is built from the people who work here. We want you to feel safe being who you are, taking risks, and showing us what you've got.\nIt's your world. We know you have a life. We want to be part of it — not all of it. At Parallels, we're serious about empowering people to work when, how, and where they want. Couch? Sweatpants? Cool with us. Happy sellers mean happy customers. That's why we hire amazing people and get out of their way.\nSound good so far? Awesome. Let's talk about the role\nWhat you'll do:\nReproduce and triage incoming vulnerabilities from security automation/bug bounty programs, then propose granular fixes to engineers\nDiscover vulnerabilities and construct exploits for core Parallels applications such as Parallels Remote Application Server\nAssist in the CVE disclosure process\nProvide threat models and design reviews for teams throughout the company\nAssist in tuning existing static analysis, dynamic analysis, and dependency management tools\n\nDesired Qualities:\nAn attacker mindset: engineers will often want proof before fixes are implemented\nEagerness to learn – you are not expected to know everything coming in, but you should continuously learn new techniques on the job\nThe ability to communicate clearly, acknowledge mistakes, and disagree when necessary\nDemonstrable passion for offensive security\nExperience reading, writing and debugging C++ and Python code\nBasic experience with memory exploitation techniques\nDemonstrable experience with web exploitation techniques and tools (e.g. PortSwigger lab scoreboards)\nExcellent written and oral communication skills\nIdeal Candidate Will Have:\nBSc/MS in computer science or a related field\nPrevious CVEs in desktop applications\nProficiency with reverse engineering tools\nSignificant experience in memory exploitation techniques (e.g. gaining code execution from memory vulnerabilities in modern operating systems)\nFamiliarity with cloud security best practices\n3+ years of industry experience\nOSCP/OSWE/OSED/RET2 certification\nWhat are you waiting for?
