Job Description

The challenge

At Adobe we recognize that our customers benefit when we take a collaborative approach to vulnerability disclosure. We pride ourselves on the symbiotic relationship we've cultivated with the security community and continue to value the contributions that security researchers of all stripes make to hardening our software. New bug reporting platforms have enabled part-time hobbyists to become full-time freelance security researchers, and Adobe is committed to working collaboratively with an ever-widening pool of security experts.

The Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is responsible for Adobe's vulnerability disclosure program and is the first responder when a security researcher reports a vulnerability finding affecting an Adobe product, online service or web property. In addition to its role as conduit with external researchers, PSIRT partners with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure vulnerabilities are handled in a manner that minimizes risk to customers and encourages researchers to disclose in a coordinated fashion.

Adobe's PSIRT is seeking a dynamic candidate to contribute to our world-class vulnerability disclosure program.
