Duties and Responsibilities

As a Staff Information Security Engineer at Client, you will be joining a diverse team of mixed background technologists. Your mandate as Staff Information Security Engineer is to provide secure and stable platform solutions that empower our organization to create the highest quality services for our customers. On a day to day basis, you’ll assist with triaging information security alerts, events, and investigations for potential security incidents by performing detailed analysis activities. You will take corrective actions if necessary and escalate as appropriate. Where necessary, you will provide technical insight into the development and support of all security operational processes, procedures and tools used for ensuring the integrity of Client’s security program. You will lead and participate in periodic access reviews, vulnerability assessments, Secure-SDLC, 3rd party engagements for security assessment, Security Steering Committee, PenTests, and routine external audit activities.
