BrandLock is a revenue-protection platform for e-commerce merchants. We stop unwanted browser extensions and injected scripts — ads, coupon overlays, competitor price comparisons — from hijacking our clients’ online stores and leaking their revenue.
The Role
You will identify and classify the adware, malware and unwanted extensions that inject content into our clients’ websites, and help work out how to block them. This is a research and reasoning role: investigating unfamiliar domains, inspecting pages in DevTools, testing extension behaviour in the browser, and then working with QA to make sure what you found is genuinely blocked in production.
Ideal for freshers who are curious, analytical and want to build a career across security research, web technology and product quality.
What You’ll Do
Analyse and categorise adware, malware and unwanted extensions by behaviour, type and risk level
Classify resources collected from client sites at the domain and subdomain level — legitimate, unwanted, malicious or unknown
Research unfamiliar domains in depth:
who runs them, how they make money, and whether they belong on a client’s site
Propose ways to block injected content — HTML/CSS selectors, DOM mutation detection, domain-level blocking, or recent approaches you research yourself
Investigate extensions that stop being blocked or start evading detection, and find the root cause
Perform QA testing on our blocking product and work with the QA team to validate every rule before release
Produce manual reports and visual evidence for clients and the Sales team — visiting client and prospect websites, reproducing injections, capturing and annotating screenshots, and compiling the findings into shareable reports and trackers
Write scripts and SQL queries to automate parts of the classification workflow, and document findings clearly
What You’ll Need
0–2 years of experience — freshers are encouraged to apply. Bachelor’s degree in any discipli
