  • Advise on risks related to application, container, and cloud security vulnerabilities.
  • Automate tasks for themselves or developers.
  • Understand threat modeling, general software development practices and the components of a modern product security program.
  • Be an empathetic security consultant on new and existing products, perform code reviews, and conduct penetration tests to proactively identify vulnerabilities.
  • Educate Product and Engineering teams on relevant security topics.
  • Experience with a variety of product security testing tools (e.g. Burp Suite, OWASP Zap, Semgrep, CodeQL, etc)
  • Has 6+ years of experience implementing scalable security programs.
  • Software development experience with several interpreted or compiled programming languages.
  • A team player who is considerate of others.
