  • Perform hands-on testing to identify risks and drive remediation with vulnerability and incident response teams.
  • Advance the Product Security strategy through multi-functional initiatives and cultural influence.
  • Balance business and security risks through technically grounded, pragmatic recommendations.
  • Translate lessons learned into reusable organizational assets that enhance overall security posture.
  • Mentor engineers and practitioners, promoting secure-by-default thinking and shared accountability.
  • Demonstrate proactive leadership, coordinating teams to deliver measurable security and business impact.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years in information security and 3+ years in software development.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field.
  • Effective communication and leadership abilities; capable of influencing technical and non-technical collaborators including management.
  • Dedicated and proactive, finding opportunities and leading initiatives independently.
  • Deep understanding of enterprise and cloud-native architectures and their secure design.
  • Expertise in network and web protocols (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTPS, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect) and common attack vectors.
  • Proven expertise in guiding security development and code evaluations and providing actionable, risk-based recommendations.
  • Skilled in multiple programming languages (e.g., Java, C/C++, JavaScript, Python) and mitigating vulnerabilities such as OWASP Top 10.
  • Experience integrating SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiar with Agile, DevOps, and modern delivery practices.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, service mesh, CDN) including secure configuration and identity management.

Desired Experience

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an attacker perspective — able to anticipate and simulate real-world attacks.
