The base salary range is $117,200 - $229,200 USD annually, with higher ranges for specific locations like the San Francisco Bay area and New York City.

This role represents a unique opportunity to impact Microsoft's security posture directly, working with a team that continuously challenges and improves the company's ability to protect against real-world threats. You'll be part of Microsoft's broader mission to make the world a safer place while working with cutting-edge security technologies and practices.
