• Cooperate with product teams to learn about changes introduced into the product early to make educated security decisions.
• Ensure mobile/desktop applications and browser extensions are sufficiently tested.
• Support internal and external audits;

• Address security questions and give advice regarding the direction of the product's security.

• Experience working with stakeholders to define the scope of security tests and identify remediation actions to address any vulnerabilities identified;
• Knowledge of secure coding practices;
• Sense of ownership with strong problem-solving and investigation skills;
• Experience with different OS (Linux, Android, iOS, macOS, Windows) security topics;
• Ability to build and maintain relationships, influence key stakeholders across the business;
• Ability to make product-related business decisions based on threats and vulnerabilities affecting it;
