The ideal candidate will take ownership of issues and work on own initiative, driving work items to successful completion. You will have good time-management and organizational skills and be a continual learner, aware of the ever-changing nature of cybersecurity and keen to stay on top of the latest developments.

What we look for

  • Basic familiarity with, and keen interest in, formal cybersecurity controls and best practices. E.g., OWASP Top 10, NIST 800-53.

  • Ability to liaise and negotiate amongst multiple product stakeholders, including:

    • Engineering management, architects, and lead engineers

    • Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT)

    • Global Cybersecurity architects

    • Product Management

    • Supplier Assessment Team

    • Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

    • Legal (Software Copyright / Licensing Compliance, Trade Compliance)

    • Individual software and hardware engineers

  • Previous development experience, including familiarity with authentication, authorization, and SDKs and local and remote APIs.

  • Basic networking experience and understanding

  • Understanding of, including ability to reason about and explain common cybersecurity vulnerabilities. E.g., can (to some extent) compare and contrast SOME of:

    • Authentication vs. authorization

    • Vulnerability vs. weakness

    • Hashes vs. ciphers

    • SQL injection vs. OS injection

    • RNG vs. PRNG vs. cryptographic RNG

    • High entropy passwords vs. low entropy

    • HSM vs. TEE

    • TLS v3 vs. SSL v3

    • Stack overflow, buffer overflow, and integer overflow / wraparound.

    • Certificate vs. key

    • Signature vs. hash

Desirable:

  • Basic understanding of software release pipelines: e.g., VCS, branching/tagging, GitOps, software signing, versioning, CI/CD.

  • Cybersecurity qualifications, such as Security+, CCSP, CISSP, CEH, etc.

  • Familiarity with Common Vulnerability Enumerations (CVE’s), Common Weakness Enumerations (CWE’s).

  • Familiarity with multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux

  • Degree (or equivalent experience) in a STEM subject, particularly cybersecurity, computer science, software engineering, or electronic engineering.

  • Basic understanding of software architecture diagrams, attack vectors, and threat modelling, including an ability to create threat models and reason about attack vectors involving multiple vulnerabilities.

  • Basic understanding of asymmetric vs. symmetric cryptography

  • A skilled communicator, able to liaise with multiple levels of engineering and management staff

  • A reasonable degree of previous project / ticket management experience. E.g., SCRUM management, sprint reviews, etc.
