Responsibilities
Vulnerability discovery and variant hunting: Using the best available and most appropriate methodologies, including threat modeling, penetration testing, security design analysis, fuzzing, SAST and DAST, etc., you will examine chosen target systems in detail, looking for vulnerabilities and weaknesses, perform variant hunting looking for larger patterns, conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis over those patterns, and drive solutions upstream in a data-driven, shift-left fashion.
Solution design and delivery: You will help design solutions for security problems, partner with service teams and other security stakeholders to ensure rapid adoption of solutions and mitigation of threats from beginning to end.
Threat modeling / Architecture reviews: You will review the design of services from a security perspective to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the architecture, make appropriate recommendations, and guide teams to implement those recommendations.
Follow through and closure. You will partner with engineers, product and program managers, and leaders around the company to ensure the successful completion of work to address your findings.
Software Development – You will prototype and create tools and scanners to automate the discovery and prevention of vulnerabilities across Azure services
