* Experience with security tools such as SAST, DAST, IAST, and SCA
* Exceptional analytical and investigative skills, with hands-on experience in root cause analysis
* Knowledge of current and emerging threats and techniques for exploiting security vulnerabilities
* Experience with CI/CD pipeline, security tools integration, and secure SDLC
* Experience with cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), and best practices on how to secure cloud environments
* (Desirable) Familiarity with security considerations for AI/ML systems is desirable
* (Desirable) Understanding of distributed systems design, implementation and operation
* (Desirable) Understanding of privacy threats and controls, including how to adapt generic best practices to specific scenarios in the product by providing detailed specifications to stakeholders
* (Desirable) Exploit development experience, and good understanding of the necessary conditions to trigger different vulnerability types, and the maximum impact achievable
* (Desirable) Experience with enterprise log collection and analysis platforms (e.g., Splunk, OSQuery)
* Master's degree or equivalent experience preferred
* Security certifications are a plus, including OSCP, OSEE, SANS/GIAC, CCSP, and CISSP
* Excellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to translate complex security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Demonstrated ability to design, document, and implement new security processes
* Experience in a high-growth technology environment or SaaS business
* Ability to remain calm under pressure, especially during incidents or audits
What the job involves
* The Senior Software Security Engineer will be responsible for analysing software designs and implementations from a security perspective, identifying and proposing remediations to security issues throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
* Perform threat modelling, risk assessments, and architecture reviews to identify and mitigate risk
* Support the engineering teams on definition on detailed security requirements to meet compliance requirements and industry best practices
* Perform security code reviews looking for potential security vulnerabilities
* Act as a subject matter expert to advise and answer questions from engineering and compliance teams on technical product security matters
* Define and oversee the deployment of Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools to compile SBOMs of software components, helping to identify known vulnerabilities and license compliance violations
* Define and oversee the deployment of automated security testing tools into CI pipelines, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Secret Detection scanning tools
* Manual penetration testing of web applications (backend and frontend). Manual penetration testing skills in the domains of cloud infrastructure, embedded/OS or mobile are desirable
* Write custom scripts or unit test cases to check for vulnerabilities or broken/missing security controls
* Recommend improvements to existing security scanning tools and processes, and propose new ones
* Periodically triage the findings from the automated security scanning tools
* Validate potential security vulnerabilities to determine whether they are actual true positives, or false positives (i.e. non-applicable) in the product context. Write proof of concept exploits when necessary to achieve this
* Assess the risk of vulnerabilities and threats in order to help the business determine their remediation priority order
* Communicate the identified security issues to engineering and compliance stakeholders, and manage them throughout the SDLC process to ensure they are properly addressed
* Establish and maintain secure coding standards, baseline product security requirements and more general best practices to provide guidance to development teams
* Assist the program area with implementing a secure Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline utilizing DevSecOps principles and practices to increase automation
* Implement automated security controls as part of CI/CD pipelines
* Support product security incident response processes, including root cause analysis (identify the affected product components, data, and the overall impact level) and definition of mitigation strategies
* Define clear criteria and protocols for security incident response
* Conduct post-incident analysis to compile lists of lessons learned, and measures to prevent similar incidents from reoccuring, and refine response strategies
* Monitor emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and trends to proactively investigate, remediate, and integrate new protections
* Ensure products comply with relevant security standards, certifications, and regulations (e.g., OWASP, NIST)
