SECURITY RESEARCHER- THREAT RESEARCHER – MOBILE & WEB SECURITY, INDIA - REMOTE
ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT DETECTING AND MITIGATING THE LATEST CYBER & FRAUD ATTACKS?
DO YOU LOVE RESEARCHING AND REVERSE-ENGINEERING REAL-WORLD ATTACKS?
JOIN OUR ADVERSARIAL THREAT RESEARCH TEAM
As a Security Researcher, you will focus on analyzing automated threats
targeting web applications and mobile ecosystems.
You will reverse-engineer sophisticated bot frameworks—ranging from browser
extensions and custom modified Chromium builds to mobile automation tools—and
actively maintain and evolve the Akamai Mobile SDK to improve signal generation,
anti-tampering defenses, and automated bot detection.
SHAPE INTERNET SECURITY
As a Security Researcher, you will dissect suspicious client applications,
analyze custom automation binaries, and build defenses that impact millions of
clients each day.You will be able to deepen knowledge of browser fingerprinting
evasion, custom Chromium builds, browser extension security, mobile SDK
architectures, application-layer protocols, and anti-bot mitigation
strategies.Your findings and detection mechanisms will shape our product roadmap
and directly power Akamai’s defensive capabilities against sophisticated, highly
evasive automated threats.
As a Security Researcher, you will be responsible for:
Update and maintain defensive telemetry collection mechanisms (including the
Akamai Mobile SDK) to improve signal accuracy, runtime protection, and
anti-tampering
Dissect patched mobile applications, custom Chromium modifications, browser
extensions, and stealth automation frameworks to uncover bypass methods,
anti-bot evasion techniques, and scale-enabling tools
Analyze large-scale web and mobile network traffic to identify browser
fingerprint anomalies, protocol-level spoofs, and automated fraud vectors
· Detection Logic: Partner with data science and engineering teams to convert
reverse-engineering findings into automated, production-grade bot-mitigation
