Staff Threat Research Engineer
Brazil
Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.
Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Melbourne, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events (pre and hopefully post-Covid) and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive. Visit us at Netskope Careers. Please follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter@Netskope.
You will be a member of Netskope’s Threat Research Team, a team of security researchers and subject matter experts working together to solve today’s security challenges in new and innovative ways. The primary output of the Threat Research Team is thought leadership (patents, blog posts, conference presentations, webinars, and podcasts) and product improvements (new features, protections against new threats). The Threat Research Team collaborates closely with the security, data science, product, and engineering teams to develop novel protection strategies against emerging cybersecurity threats.
As a member of the Threat Research Team, you will be be responsible for:
- Identifying novel tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) being used by attackers

- Using threat simulation and red-team tools to simulate attacks in a controlled environment
- Manually reproducing new attacks in a controlled environment
- Assessing the ability of a set of security controls to provide visibility, detection, and preventative measures against attacks.
- Identifying opportunities to bolster the security controls by providing better visibility, more accurate detection, or more robust preventative measures against attacks.
- Working with the data science, engineering, and product teams to implement your vision for product improvements.
- Communicating the findings of your research to a broad audience including engineering, product management, PR, sales, and marketing.
- Presenting your research at top-tier security conferences.

We are looking for threat researchers who can leverage their experience and expertise to identify, analyze, and reproduce threats.
