We value critical thinking, creativity, data-driven and intelligence-driven approaches, and offensive experience. Security is a collaborative process, where security is a partner to help achieve business goals securely. We believe in saying “yes and;” instead of “no” when recommending security objectives.

• Be the go-to person for developers in solving critical issues relating to secure product development.
• Run penetration testing targeting critical data, services, and environments. Report underlying security issues and propose enhanced security protections.
• Write and disseminate security guidelines for common security issues, remediation, and security technology baselines.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure secure deployment of AI systems by staying updated on AI security best practices and executing adversarial testing strategies.
• Guide engineering teams on secure coding and testing principles/practices.
• Be a role model for the team and provide a healthy platform for learning and growth. Build relationships with stakeholders throughout the engineering and product organizations.
• Spread security culture throughout the organization.

What you\'ll bring:

• A passion for identifying vulnerabilities and remediations.
• Ability to interpret and explain multiple classes of vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting, SQL Injection, CSRF, cryptographic-related weakness, and code injection, to various audiences, such as development and management teams.
• Experience in designing and building a wide variety of technical security controls.
• Experience in performing threat modeling, design reviews, code reviews, web application security, and enterprise cloud penetration testing.
• Stellar understanding of secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) and ability to integrate security practices and threat modeling into development processes.
• Ability to automate product security processes and optimize productivity with SAST & DAST tools.
• Good proficiency with a programming language (e.g., Java, Python, Go, Bash).
• Good Knowledge of authentication, authorization, and access control mechanisms, cryptographic algorithms, and secure network communication protocols
• Experience in cloud security architecture and infrastructure.
• Self-driven with excellent communication and prioritization skills.
• A total of 5+ years of experience in product security (code, web application, API)
