Meta's Product Security team focuses on detection, prevention, and mitigation of risk that is inherent in building software -- whether that means vulnerability research or building software. Product Security Engineers provide guidance and tooling to engineering and product teams that help minimize the security and privacy risk for over 3 billion of our users. The scale, diversity, and importance of the products we secure is an inspiring mission -- come help us make life hard for the bad guys!Meta's Product Security team is hiring security interns focused in several areas:Web Security: focused on securing web applications/APIs and ensuring we have robust architectural browser protections. Web Security Engineers on Product Security team work on a wide range of projects in PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc.Mobile Security: focused on securing an ecosystem of mobile applications and platform security for Android (Java, Kotlin) and iOS (Swift, Objective-C), including custom hardware devices.Native Security: focused on lower level systems which are closer to the hardware and physical components of computers. Native Security Engineers on Product Security team work on a wide range of projects in the C/C++/Rust space.These engineering roles will partner closely with the following teams:Secure Application Frameworks: a team focused on building libraries, frameworks, and platforms that enable developers to write secure software and enable security engineers to perform automated analysis at scale.Program Analysis: teams of software engineers who build static and dynamic analysis tools to detect and prevent security and privacy issues at scaleProduct Teams: various teams across engineering that are focused on building services but need security guidance in order to build secure applications.If you're passionate about security and helping secure products that billions of people use and trust, come join us at Meta!
