Security Team at TikTok
The team's mission is to build secure infrastructure, platforms, and technologies, as well as to support cross-functional teams to protect our users, products, and infrastructure. In this team, you'll have a unique opportunity to have first-hand exposure to the strategy of the company in key security initiatives, especially in building scalable and secure-by-design systems and solutions. Our challenges are not your regular day-to-day technical problems; you'll be part of a team that's developing new solutions to new challenges of a kind not previously addressed by big tech. It's working fast, at scale, and we're making a difference.

Responsibilities:

1. Conduct vulnerability research of the native components of the most critical systems and products (mobile and desktop apps, cloud).
2. Collaborate closely with other security and product teams to design defense-in-depth controls that limit attackers' ability and improve our security posture.
3. Drive secure-by-default and automation initiatives to boost native components' security.
4. Monitor and analyze emerging cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits relevant to our infrastructure, technologies, and products.
5. Bring insight into all aspects of modern security issues to our products and rapidly develop prototypes for mitigations.
6. Support Red Team with vulnerability research and exploit development.
