We regularly send over-the-air software updates to our Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y fleet, seamlessly delivering new features and improvements to our customers. Our mobile applications allow customers to interact with their cars via real-time, low-latency two-way communication. We also build tools for our internal sales, delivery, and service teams.

As an Endpoint Security Engineer, you will work very closely with the Vulnerability Management, Desktop Engineering, Incident Response & Detection, and Tesla Manufacturing teams and act as a “bridge” connecting InfoSec and other Security Engineering teams.

• Administer policy configurations for endpoint security controls (ex. secure configuration qualification) and perform end-to-end Endpoint Protection architecture assessments and security reviews.
• Create and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) related to operational tasks for endpoint security management.
• Assist with advanced security incident response and detection activities when required, troubleshoot complex enterprise workstation and server environments.
• Detailed knowledge in system security architecture and security solutions and proficient understanding of IT infrastructure, security, & NGAV + ZTNA policies/exclusions/rules, etc.

What You’ll Bring
