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.
