Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end-to-end, simplified solutions.

Email, chat, and the web are an integral part of our everyday lives. They are essential for communication and productivity; while also providing the primary ways cybercriminals exploit victims and infiltrate organizations. Attackers abuse these communication methods to steal identities through phishing, hold critical assets for ransom, inflict financial harm, disrupt business operations through floods of unsolicited email, and install malicious software.
Do you want to join a team dedicated to protecting hundreds of millions of people from these threats? The Messaging and Web Security Research team is a global, multidisciplinary organization of engineers, data scientists, security researchers, and program managers. With an unparalleled view of the threat landscape, we develop deep expertise in attacker techniques and use that knowledge to fuel innovations using the latest technologies. We protect customers using Outlook.com, Microsoft Defender for O365, Microsoft Edge, and much more.
We are looking for an experienced Security Researcher II to join our dynamic and innovative team. As a Security Researcher II at Microsoft, you’ll play a vital role in analyzing the latest email-based threats (Malware, APT, Phish), writing robust threat detections to mitigate campaigns, and performing deep investigations in response to detection issues faced by Microsoft and our customers. You’ll be working collaboratively with Engineering, Threat Intelligence, and Data Science teams to improve our defense-in-depth capabilities to thwart persistent threats and respond to customer escalations.
Together, we are redefining email and web security using the latest technology, unparalleled data and intelligence systems. Join us and make a difference in our mission to empower everyone to communicate with confidence and trust!
