We're recruiting a Principal Security Researcher with deep expertise and a track record of successful security research delivery to tackle hard problems related to the discovery of threat actors targeting Microsoft and its customers. You'll be working to analyse vast amounts of telemetry from multiple different products then designing and prototyping detections and disruptions to protect millions of customers.
