About the role

Description:

We are seeking an expert offensive security researcher to conduct advanced vulnerability research and security testing focused on Chromium/Chrome on Android, with an emphasis on sandbox security. The role centers on identifying high-impact flaws across process isolation, IPC surfaces, and privileged service, and producing rigorous technical analysis, high-quality reproducers, and actionable remediation insights.

Responsibilities:

· Perform deep vulnerability research in Chromium (Android) with focus on sandbox and isolation failures.

· Identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in:

o Sandbox policy and broker interfaces

o Mojo IPC surfaces (interface misuse, validation gaps, lifetime/ownership issues)

o Browser process services and privileged components

o Chrome-on-Android integration layers (JNI, service interactions, Android-specific glue code)

· Develop minimal, reliable reproducers and PoCs

· Conduct exploitability and impact analysis

· Build and maintain research tooling:

o fuzzing harnesses and targets

o crash triage automation, repro minimization, regression testing

o patch diffing and variant analysis workflows

· Track upstream Chromium security-relevant changes and help assess risk and priority across versions.

Required Qualifications:

· Strong track record in finding security vulnerabilities in large C/C++ codebases (Chromium-scale preferred).

· Solid understanding of Chromium architecture on Android:

o multi-process model (renderer/browser/GPU/network/service processes)

o sandbox model and privilege separation concepts on Android

o Mojo IPC concepts (interfaces, bindings, serialization, validation, object lifetimes)

· Hands-on experience with ARM64 Android debugging and analysis:

o crash triage, root cause analysis, minimizing repros

o familiarity with modern hardening constraints (ASLR, CFI variants, PAC/BTI where relevant)

· Proficiency in C/C++ and a scripting language (Python preferred) for automation/tooling.
