You will be working with other Ethical Hackers in the team and software engineers spread across Oracle worldwide. Your mission is to add new capabilities to the existing security tools.

Your Challenge

• Implement scripts to detect security defects in product binaries and installation media. The scripts will run in a framework that allows them to be scaled on hundreds of products.
• Facilitate the adoption of tools within the diverse Oracle development community by helping the creation of documentation, sales presentations, internal social media posts and other supporting material.
• Shadow testing activities done by members of the Ethical Hacking Team to identify which techniques, methodologies or approaches can be automated.

What’s in it for you?

• An extremely flexible working environment.
• This role will enable you to see the complete lifecycle of vulnerabilities, from inception as part of an assessment to the response of the development team and eventual deployment of patches. By developing tools to automate the vulnerability discovery process you will be helping keep some of the world’s most sensitive data and systems protected.
• You will gain a deep and detailed understanding of security challenges so that you will be able to codify them into reusable units of work.
• EHT interacts with some of the most innovative areas of the company including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Netsuite, the Oracle RDBMS engineering and the Java teams. This role will allow you to see how security is approached in a global enterprise and how the most difficult challenges are addressed and solved.
