• Ensure applications running within the cloud environment honor the requirements of information security policy and standards for segmentation and configuration.
• Develop and implement secure network and process controls for Kubernetes environments.
• Manage the lifecycle of application vulnerabilities, from identification to remediation and reporting and metrics.
• Develop tools and automated tests for improving our Security efficiency.

We’re excited about you because…

• Deep understanding of each OWASP top 10 vulnerability, microservices security and design.
• You are interested in analyzing code, architecture and design from a security perspective
• Well versed with scripting languages (e.g., python) and other programming languages (e.g., java). Kotlin experience is a plus.
