  • Research the threat landscape and emerging vulnerabilities to proactively improve the organization's security posture.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • At least 2 years of experience as a Cybersecurity Engineer or in a similar role.
  • Deep knowledge of OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, and CWE Top 25 attack vectors.
  • Experience architecting and implementing Secure SDLC by integrating automated tools into Agile processes.
  • Hands-on experience performing security architecture reviews, secure code reviews, and vulnerability remediation.
  • Proficiency in at least two programming languages, such as Java, C#/.NET, PowerShell, or Python.
  • Expertise operating SAST, SCA, and DAST tools like Veracode, Checkmarx, Sonatype, Acunetix, or Burp Suite.
