Position Summary The Product Security Analyst supports NETGEAR's vulnerability management and product security incident response function. This role triages and scores reported vulnerabilities, verifies proof-of-concept exploits against NETGEAR products and services, applies AI-assisted tooling to accelerate security code review, and works with engineering teams throughout the software development lifecycle to close out findings. The ideal candidate combines hands-on offensive security skills with the judgment to communicate risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Key Responsibilities • CVSS Scoring & Triage: Score and triage reported vulnerabilities using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), producing consistent, defensible base, temporal, and environmental scores and prioritizing intake accordingly. • Vulnerability Verification & PoC Review: Independently verify reported vulnerabilities, reproduce and validate proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code, and assess real-world exploitability and impact on NETGEAR products and services. • AI-Assisted Security Analysis: Apply AI-assisted tools and techniques to explore and analyze security issues, including AI-augmented static/dynamic code analysis, to speed up root-cause identification and coverage of complex codebases. • Penetration Testing Tools: Use a range of penetration testing and security assessment tools (e.g., Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, static/dynamic analysis suites) to evaluate firmware, web, cloud, and mobile attack surfaces. • SDLC Engagement: Partner with engineering throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to embed security requirements, review designs and code, and validate remediations before release. Required Qualifications • Solid understanding of CVSS (v3.1 or later) and demonstrated ability to score and prioritize vulnerabilities consistently. • Hands-on experience reproducing and validating vulnerability reports and proof-of-concept exploits. • Working knowledge of applying AI/LLM-based tools to security code analysis or vulnerability research. • Practical familiarity with common penetration testing tools and methodologies (web, network, and/or firmware). • Experience working within a formal Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), including secure design and code review practices. • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with embedded/IoT or networking product security (routers, gateways, or similar consumer or enterprise devices). • Familiarity with vulnerability disclosure processes and coordinated disclosure (PSIRT) workflows. • Scripting ability (Python, Bash, or similar) to automate triage and verification tasks.
