ElasticElastic logo - Senior Manager, Endpoint Protections

• You have been a practitioner. Substantial hands-on experience as a security researcher before moving into leadership: analyzing attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), building the protections that counter them, and shipping into software that runs on customer machines at scale. • Operating system internals knowledge, in both kernel and user mode, earned hands-on rather than through oversight, and deep enough to reason about undocumented behavior and challenge a design on its technical merits. Windows depth is what we need most, with macOS or Linux close behind. • Operating system internals knowledge • Hands-on reverse engineering and malware analysis experience. You have done this work yourself, and can still read a disassembly, assess a research finding on its merits, and judge which threats warrant investment. • Hands-on reverse engineering and malware analysis experience. • An adversarial instinct. You anticipate how a protection will be evaded before it ships, and hold the team to designing for resilience rather than for the proof of concept in front of them. • An adversarial instinct. • Clear communication skills, comfortable writing for technical and executive audiences and distilling deeply technical work for non-expert stakeholders. • Motivation to thrive in a distributed, autonomous environment, with a genuine passion for protecting customers from real-world adversaries. • Motivation to thrive in a distributed, autonomous environment • Demonstrated experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate feature development, debug complex systems, and optimize existing codebases. • You possess the ability to comfortably rotate across projects, collaborate across functions and teams, and seamlessly adapt to evolving team structures. • Prior ownership of an EDR, EPP, or other endpoint security product. • Personal research output: published vulnerabilities, patents, in-depth technical writing, or conference talks. • Experience leading machine learning engineers working on security problems. • Experience partnering with product engineering teams to take research prototypes through to GA release. • Conference speaking experience (e.g., Black Hat, DEF CON, CODE BLUE, Virus Bulletin). • Familiarity with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana) and Elastic Security. • As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life. Your age is only a number. It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do. • We strive to have parity of benefits across regions, and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do. • Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary • Health coverage for you and your family in many locations • Ability to craft your calendar with flexible locations and schedules for many roles • Generous number of vacation days each year • Increase your impact - We match up to $2000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service • Up to 40 hours each year to use toward volunteer projects you love • Embracing parenthood with a minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave • Security & Privacy Responsibilities: Take ownership of protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational data and systems by following applicable privacy and security policies, standards, and procedures. Ensure that all individual contributions follow Elastic’s Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). Proactively participate in mandatory role-based training to ensure personal technical execution consistently aligns with the highest standards of data protection, data privacy, and system resilience.
