The digital division of the German sports car maker seeks a "Red Team" lead to identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the company’s systems, production lines, and cars.

The company, which also has a local branch in the Azrieli Sarona Tower in Tel Aviv, is looking for a "Red Team" lead, meaning a senior hacker to head a team of cybersecurity researchers and search for vulnerabilities in the company’s computers. This includes not only the company’s headquarters and production facilities but also the cars themselves, including the 911, Boxster, Macan, Cayenne, Taycan, and Panamera, aiming to identify and close these vulnerabilities early before they can be exploited.

Some QA would be good too, while there’re at it. Direct charging has been automatically enabled for my taycan along with a new charging profile with a minimum 25% that I haven’t add it. Also, the boot opened and car unlocked itself while parked while I had comfort access enabled. I’ve disabled it now to be sure. Everything related to the software in a taycan is buggy and unreliable.

Not surprising. Israel has a well developed and well respected high tech job sector. Microsoft, NVidia, Amazon, BMC Software, Cisco, and other large firms have a significant IT presence there.
