Microsoft

Microsoft Teams is on fire! We’re the hottest v1 product at Microsoft and even before we launched the press was calling us “the first product to truly compete against hot group-messaging apps” (PC World), and Gartner called us “a real game changer”. We have audacious goals as we build on our first six months and momentum from Ignite.

Security is a top customer concern for adopting Microsoft Teams. Microsoft is betting heavily on Microsoft Teams but will not be able to succeed unless it meets customer security needs. If you are looking for a challenge, if you enjoy being intimately involved in the latest security industry developments and are passionate about protecting our customers’ communication in the cloud, Microsoft Teams has the right role for you!

We’re looking for a Security Developer/Researcher to triage, guide, design and deliver security fixes and features. The position we are looking for is a highly visible one with significant responsibility and large scope. It is a great opportunity for anyone who loves security and wants to make an impact. The successful candidate will be passionate about strengthening Microsoft Teams defenses and protecting customers from emerging security threats in an ever-evolving climate. Your responsibilities will include investigation of security vulnerabilities that are reported to Microsoft Teams by all sources. This is an historic opportunity in a true v1 with the very real potential to catapult Microsoft to the forefront of secure, team-first collaboration.

Non-principal engineers and researchers are welcome to apply if you have deep knowledge in Security space.

We operate in an extremely fast-paced environment with rapid exploration, iteration, and execution. Your colleagues will be among the best in the industry – they’ve earned their stripes in startups and global-scale services and share an intense passion for delivering an amazing product. We’re also a team that likes to have fun, and we build that attitude into how we work and what we create.
