Responsibilities
  • Act as a subject matter expert on application security domains involving web, mobile, and desktop platforms
  • Conduct security consultations on new and existing products, and be able to communicate complicated issues to non-technical audiences
  • Improve upon and further integrate the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) into product design and engineering efforts
  • Empower secure-by-default development by shipping libraries and frameworks that address classes of vulnerabilities at scale
  • Assist with code reviews to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities, and follow-up with tooling to prevent future vulnerabilities
Desired background
  • 3+ years experience in application security engineering
  • Strong communication skills and relationship building skills
  • Experience in architecting and building application security on modern tech stacks across multiple platforms (web, mobile, desktop)
  • Experience in building and scaling the Secure Development Lifecycle
  • Experience with threat modeling and handling vulnerability reports
  • Experience partnering with cross-functional engineering and product teams
  • Be able to demonstrate software development experience
