Job description

Security | Remote, India | Remote, Remote | Bengaluru, India | Full-Time

The Security Testing teams mission is to partner with Atlassian internal teams globally to provide innovative and holistic security testing to secure Atlassian products, platforms and customers. This role supports Atlassian's security team, Engineers and Customers by performing high quality penetration testing on our software, platforms and services.

This role supports Atlassian's security team, Engineers and Customers by providing world class technical assurance of our software, platforms and services through high quality manual penetration testing and code review.

Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

You will support others in technically validating the state of Atlassian's technical security controls, working closely with both our security and engineering teams. You enjoy vulnerability hunting and get excited when you find vulnerabilities that typical automated toolsets can't. You must have a strong ability to work with colleagues to understand our products and then come up with ways to strengthen security.

Since we work closely with our product engineering teams, the ability to read and understand code is very important. Our products are built using a number of different languages but Java, Go, and Python are the most common.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

• 5+ years working in a whitebox penetration testing/appsec/manual code review role
• Strong understanding of web application security
• Experience in cloud security architecture and infrastructure
• Experience coding in Java, Python, or Go, and at least one scripting language
• An ability to reason about security decisions
• Experience leading projects from start to finish and mentoring other security practitioners
• Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with closely with deeply technical development and infrastructure teams

• Submitted bug bounty reports to third party companies
• Published contributions to the security community
• Certifications: OSCP, OSCE, OSWE, CREST CRT, GPEN
• CVE's to your name
• Presentation experience at industry events
• Developed security tools
• Experience working with compliance, privacy, IT, networking or related functions

About the role

This is a Senior Level role in the Engineering, Construction and Energy field (Manufacturing and hardware engineering) at Atlassian. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
