About the role
Adobe's Product and Software Security Team is seeking a Security Engineer with deep penetration testing expertise and a strong DevSecOps background to drive both hands-on Adversarial testing and the integration of security across Adobe's software development lifecycle. The role spans security assessments of web, mobile, and desktop applications, cloud environments, AI/LLM systems, and supporting infrastructure, alongside building and operating the security guardrails embedded into CI/CD pipelines. The successful candidate will lead end-to-end engagements, deliver findings with clear risk assessments and actionable remediation, and partner with engineering teams to ship secure-by-default software at scale.
Responsibilities
- Conduct penetration tests on AI/LLM systems (prompt injection, model poisoning, jailbreaks, etc.), web applications, APIs, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, containers, and supporting infrastructure.
- Identify and exploit vulnerabilities including authentication/authorization flaws, business logic issues, injection, SSRF, deserialization, and chained attacks.
- Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines: SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and container/image scanning as first-class pipeline gates.
- Design and operate DevSecOps automation across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP): policy-as-code, infrastructure-as-code scanning, and automated security guardrails.
- Develop custom scripts and tooling using Python, Go, or PowerShell to automate testing, validation, and pipeline integration.
- Partner with engineering teams on threat modeling, security code review, and secure-by-default architecture.
- Build the feedback loop from security findings back into preventive controls so the same class of bug doesn't ship twice.
- Deliver clear, actionable reports and provide remediation guidance to engineering and product teams.
- Manage the full lifecycle of penetration testing engagements from scoping to execution and delivery.
- Research emerging AI/ML exploits, cloud-native attack techniques, and supply chain risks to stay ahead of threats.
- Enhance testing methodologies and contribute to the internal knowledge base.
Requirements
- 4+ years of combined experience in penetration testing and DevSecOps, with meaningful depth in both - not just one.
- Hands-on pentest experience across web apps, APIs, mobile, and cloud environments. You can find and exploit, not just scan and report.
- Proven track record integrating security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets, container/image
- scanning) into CI/CD pipelines in production environments.
- Understanding of AI/ML security, LLM vulnerabilities, and prompt engineering attacks.
- Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, and OWASP LLM Top 10.
- Programming/scripting in at least one language: Python, Bash, PowerShell, Go, JavaScript.
- Ability to read and understand source code, trace execution flows, and dynamically exploit
- vulnerabilities during live assessments.
- Understanding of secure coding practices and common code-level vulnerabilities.
- Strong experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and policy-as-code
- frameworks.
- Knowledge of attack vectors, exploits, vulnerability exploitation, and chained attacks.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Preferred
- Strong academic background (Master's degree) in IT, Computer Science, or related fields.
- Certifications: OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, GXPN, GPEN, GWAPT, CRTP, eJPT, CREST, CISSP, or
- equivalent.
- Published CVEs demonstrating research capability.
- Bug bounty or Capture The Flag (CTF) experience.
- AI/ML security research experience.
- Advanced exploitation experience and custom tooling development.
- Threat modeling and secure DevOps knowledge at enterprise scale.
- Experience with AI-assisted security tooling (LLM pipelines, RAG, agentic workflows) for
- vulnerability discovery or triage.
- Open-source contributions or technical writing on offensive security, DevSecOps, or AI security.
