Descripción del empleo

This position is part of the Product Security Department and is responsible for assessing and improving the security posture of the organization's products, applications, cloud environments, and enterprise infrastructure through offensive security activities.

The primary responsibility of this position is to identify, validate, and communicate security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. The role involves performing penetration tests, security assessments, and adversary simulations across traditional IT environments, cloud platforms, modern applications, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems.

The engineer will collaborate with development, infrastructure, cloud, and engineering teams to improve the organization's overall security posture by providing actionable remediation guidance and security best practices.

• Plan and execute penetration tests of healthcare products, applications, medical devices, and supporting infrastructure in accordance with defined testing methodologies and project timelines.
• Perform security assessments of web applications, APIs, desktop applications, embedded systems, cloud environments, and AI-enabled products to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and security weaknesses.
• Evaluate the security of cloud-native architectures, identity services, and containerized environments supporting healthcare solutions.
• Assess Artificial Intelligence features and applications for security risks, including prompt injection, unauthorized access, sensitive data exposure, and misuse of AI models.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of penetration testing methodologies, tooling, automation, and testing procedures to address emerging technologies and evolving threats.
• Stay current with the latest offensive security techniques, healthcare cybersecurity threats, cloud technologies, and AI security research to ensure testing methodologies remain effective and aligned with industry best practices.
• Collaborate with product development and engineering teams to communicate security findings, provide technical guidance, and support secure product development throughout the product lifecycle.
• Validate the effectiveness of implemented security fixes through remediation verification and follow-up security testing.
• Produce high-quality technical reports that clearly describe findings, risk levels, exploitation evidence, and practical remediation recommendations for engineering teams.

Networking/Key relationships

A cybersecurity engineer interacts with different stakeholders including:

• Software Development teams to coordinate security assessments, communicate technical findings, and support the remediation and validation of identified vulnerabilities.
• Quality Assurance (QA) teams to integrate penetration testing activities into product release cycles and verify security fixes prior to deployment.
• Cloud Engineering and DevOps teams to assess cloud infrastructure, containerized environments, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native services, providing recommendations to improve security posture.
• Product Owners (PO) and Product Security Officers (PSO) to define assessment scope, prioritize security risks based on business impact, and support secure product releases.
• Product Security Architects (PSA) to align penetration testing activities with organizational security strategies, threat models, and vulnerability management processes.
