Secure LinkedIn’s systems, from our products down to our infrastructure, both by working with teams developing those systems and by developing systems to better secure them, such as code scanning and cloud security enforcement.

Work with other security teams to ensure that the systems we are building (such as security infrastructure) are secure and to collaborate with the Detection & Response team on red teaming and penetration tests.
