At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you'll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

Visa Sponsorship: Sonos is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role at this time. We ask that applicants be authorized to work for any US employer, both now and in the future.

We proactively address security problems, risks, and threats, and our work has a direct impact on every product Sonos ships.

Own security-relevant workstreams end-to-end, everything from design, to implementation, to long term maintenance in fielded devices

Collaborate across the organization in order to balance security and usability concerns

Contribute to security design reviews across Sonos' portfolio of devices and software features

Triage and resolve vulnerability reports directly from security researchers and from the cybersecurity industry
