Job Title: Hardware Security Engineer
Location: London (Remote)
Duration: 9 Months
Mode: Remote
Role Overview
The team within Information Security Engineering (based primarily in Zurich, with members in Poland) evaluates CPU vendor-reported vulnerabilities, assesses their impact, and provides mitigation recommendations. The work is highly specialized and focused on CPU microarchitectural security (including RAM and GPUs).
Candidate Profile - Key Signals
Non-negotiable/Strong Signals:
* Deep understanding of speculative execution and microarchitectural security.
* Hands-on research experience (PhD-level research counts as relevant experience).
* Experience discovering new microarchitectural attacks.
* Acknowledgement from CPU vendors for responsibly disclosing hardware vulnerabilities.
* Publications in reputable security venues.
Valuable but Slightly Flexible:
* Implementing production-grade mitigations.
* Ability to unblock other engineering teams.
* Strong experimental/research methodology skills.
The work closely resembles PhD-level experimental research rather than general security engineering.
