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.
