Descripción del empleo

Here at Malwarebytes, we believe that when you’re free from threats you’re free to thrive. It all started in 2008 with one person who needed help with a malware infection, and a community coming together to find solutions. In that moment in time a product was born for all people, with a mission to rid the world of malware. Our product has since grown and evolved, from removing malware, to protecting devices, to ever-changing prevention.

About Malwarebytes Inc.

Malwarebytes began after our founder, Marcin Kleczynski, accidentally infected his parents’ computer while downloading a video game as a teenager. At the time, there was no product that could fully solve the problem, so he set out to build one. That early experience shaped our mission: to create protection that works when people need it most.
Since then, the digital threat landscape has only grown more complex. Attackers are faster, stealthier, and more sophisticated, while traditional solutions often overwhelm people with complicated tools and settings. At Malwarebytes, we believe protection should be both powerful and refreshingly simple because if security feels too hard to use, people will not use it. That is why our aspiration is always to stay one step ahead: cutting through the noise, stopping threats others miss, and delivering peace of mind in an unpredictable digital world.

What You Will Do:

• Process daily threat-feeds, related to newly created malware and write detection rules for various technologies.
• Investigate and resolve customer related inquiries related to protection, performance, and usability.
• Conduct research and threat hunting for the latest cyber-web threats affecting our customers.
• Provide feedback on new projects and syntaxes/tools being developed that involve your daily work and suggest ideas how to handle different threat types.
• Support content creation efforts incl. threat descriptions, blogs, and presentations

Skills You'll Need to Have:

• Highly developed sense of integrity and demonstrated passion for excellence with respect to treating and caring for customers.
• Creative thinking and problem solving, with a positive and motivated approach.
• Ability to setup and conduct research/analysis in an emulated/virtual environment, such as VMWare or Hyper‑V.
• Ability to research & classify malicious domains and IPs.
• Experience with and understanding of malware research tools involved in static & dynamic analysis and core aspects of a threat research & response team.
• Basic understanding and experience using various operating systems, incl. Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android.
• Ability and passion to stay up to date with the latest malware threats and collaborate with other researchers, coordinators, as well as developers.
• Employee Referral Bonus Program
• Wellness programs
• An opportunity to do something great for yourself and the world!
