Devices have transformed and defined modern life, powered by connectivity to services, data and one another. As the reach of computing expands, so has the importance of security of devices ranging from small IoT devices to servers powering the cloud. In Crypto, Identity and Authentication group we are responsible for securing our users' identity and data from ever increasing threats. We build operating system technologies that strongly authenticate our users and secure our users' data.
If you are passionate about developing new platforms' functionality to keep us one step ahead of hackers, we have a job for you. Do you want work on how to use a face to login to a web site? Do you want to protect users even when OS kernel is an enemy? What about securing financial transactions? How about building a world where passwords don't exist?
