You will contribute to the design, implementation and continuous improvement of application security and privacy controls across the development lifecycle. Responsibilities will include conducting threat modelling and privacy risk assessments, reviewing architecture and code, supporting security testing, and helping teams address vulnerabilities effectively. You will also contribute to security requirements, technical standards, design patterns and guidance for handling data securely.
The role will involve partnering with developers and product teams to integrate security tooling and automated checks into CI/CD pipelines, as well as supporting vulnerability management and remediation tracking. You will investigate security and privacy issues, help assess their potential impact, and contribute to incident response, root-cause analysis and preventative measures.
