  • Engineering Consulting – Serving as a “best friend” to software engineers, architects, product owners, and leaders, provide contextually-aware guidance to help these groups make good decisions, document those decisions and resulting architectures, and navigate relevant review & approval processes (where necessary) when implementing new features and remediating existing issues.
  • Tool Enablement - Enabling and monitoring automated defect detection tooling (CodeQL, Rapid7, etc.) at the repository or application level according to established process.
  • Security Test Onboarding & Management – Collecting and communicating required scope and access information for penetration testing and security assurance assessments, as well as handling the output of these assessments via our Defect Management Process.
 
Education & Experience Required:
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field with 8+ or more years in information security
  • Master’s Degree must have 6+ years’ experience
 
Technical Skills:
  • Application security expertise understanding vulnerabilities and remediation solutions (OWASP, CWE/CVE, SANS 25)
  • Experience with a wide variety of information security processes and principles, such as:
  • Enterprise security architecture
  • Threat modeling
  • Vulnerability assessment
  • Risk analysis
  • Defense in depth
  • SDLC and product development processes
  • Identity and access management
  • API security
  • SCA/SAST/DAST
  • Cloud security experience with MS Azure and/or AWS
  • Professional certification (CISSP, CCSP, GWAPT, GWEB, AWS SA / Certified Security, etc.)
  • Development experience (Java, Python, .Net, JS, or equivalent)
  • Implementation of automation and scripting
  • AI Fluency is preferred.
  • Web services security Desired: Professional information security certification (CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, GISCP, GWAPT, GWEB etc) ; Strong understanding and experience with information security technologies
 
 
Soft Skills:                                       
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills; demonstrated ability to communicate highly technical security concepts to non-security audiences
  • Ability to coordinate multiple teams in accomplishing process review and improvement
