Senior Security Research Scientist

Thorough understanding of Internet protocols and technologies, not just how they’re used but how they work.

This includes fundamentals such as TCP/IP, HTTP, TLS, etc.

High proficiency in using analytical databases and warehouse such as Google BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.

to interrogate large datasets.

Ability to conceive, execute, and derive actionable insights from measurements that involve Internet-wide scanning and data collection by using infrastructure to conduct experiments.

Familiarity and comfort working in a Linux based environment.

You rely on your expertise to guide your approach to investigations, including generating your own research ideas.

This role will help provide the engineering teams with the information needed to provide better coverage, derive deeper insights from our data, and help surface these improvements directly to our customers.

One week you might perform detailed analysis of hosts vulnerable to a particular CVE, and the next week you may be asked to investigate which endpoints we need to scan to improve classification of networking devices.

You'll have the opportunity to hunt through the most robust internet-wide scan data available, documenting your findings to share with the broader security community through blogs and talks.

Conduct Internet measurement research using Censys’ Internet-wide scan data; identify and analyze Internet-wide trends with a focus on findings with interesting security implications.

Partner with Research and Product to deliver new security prototypes to customers as well as to guide where we should develop new products.
