Department Overview 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). Job Description This role is mainly remote. Responsibilities Security Design and Implementation 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. Security Testing 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. Vulnerability Management 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. SDLC and DevSecOps Integration 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. Incident Response and Compliance 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 reocurring , 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). Basic Requirements Required Qualifications Exper ...
