Senior Security Engineer (Offensive) - Workvivo

What you can expect

In this role, you’ll focus on uncovering and addressing vulnerabilities across the Workvivo platform, including our Web App, Mobile App, Mobile and AWS Infrastructure.

You will be responsible for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities within software applications through building security tools, code reviews, penetration testing, and security assessments.

We’re looking for people who will work closely with application engineering teams to ensure secure coding practices are integrated throughout the software development lifecycle, preventing security risks before they emerge. You will also provide security guidance to developers and other stakeholders, fostering a culture of security awareness within the organization.

About the Team

Workvivo is an employee experience platform designed to amplify workplace culture and foster employee engagement, regardless of location. Committed to customer satisfaction, Workvivo focuses on enhancing employees' working lives across diverse industries globally. As part of Zoom, an intelligent collaboration platform, Workvivo aligns with Zoom's mission to prioritize people, enabling meaningful connections, modern collaboration, and driving innovation in businesses and individual interactions.

In this position, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the security of both Workvivo and Zoom. This includes contributing to our engineering security training program and collaborating cross-functionally within Zoom Security, including teams like Bug Bounty, Incident Response, SOC, Vulnerability Management, and Customer Security Assurance (CSA).

Responsibilities

• Conduct regular security assessments, code reviews, and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities in applications and software associated with the Workvivo Platform, including AWS Infrastructure and the Workvivo Application (Web App, Mobile App).
• Discover vulnerabilities associated with the Workvivo platform and associated infrastructure and work with Workvivo's/ZOOM's internal teams. Work daily with the Security, AWS Infrastructure & Application engineering teams to ensure Security, Scalability, and Stability.
• Prioritize the threat modeling of new security features before they are deployed. Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to proactively identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies, working with Application engineering (and other teams) as early as possible in the design phase.
• Contribute to improving the SDLC by advising on DAST, SAST, SCA, i.e., securing the Pipeline, and introducing code automated security solutions.
• Contribute to improving security across Workvivo & Zoom, including feeding into the Engineering Security training program.
• Work cross-functionally within Zoom Security, e.g., Bug Bounty, Incident Response, SOC, Vulnerability Management, Customer Security Assurance (CSA), etc.
• Introduce and code automated security solutions.

What we’re looking for

• Very good experience completing penetration tests (focused on Web Applications, API, and Mobile).
• Able to critically analyze Vulnerability & Penetration test reports from external partners and customers.
• Can go beyond highlighting Security Headers and low hanging fruit as vulnerabilities and critically challenge security vulnerabilities.
• Ability to produce Architectural diagrams with a focus on the security control plane.
• Experience in application security, software development, or related areas with a good understanding of secure coding practices and application security frameworks.
• Good knowledge of AWS.
• Comfort with using Burpsuite / Invicti (Netsparker) and similar tooling.
• Proficiency in programming languages (such as PHP, Laravel, Go, Java, C++, etc.), knowledge of security tools (e.g., Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP), and familiarity with security protocols and encryption methods.
• Excellent attention to detail, a sense of curiosity and ability to focus, and comfort discussing the latest security technology. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security issues to both technical and non-technical audiences.
