Positon Overview :
We're looking for a Product Security Engineer to join our team and help secure our products throughout their lifecycle. In this role, you'll work closely with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to identify vulnerabilities, guide secure development practices, and respond to security incidents. You'll be a trusted advisor across the organization, someone teams turn to when they need security expertise on design decisions, code reviews, and emerging AI/ML threats.
Job Description:
- Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Plan and execute penetration tests and vulnerability assessments across our applications, APIs, and infrastructure. Prioritize findings by business impact and work with engineering teams to drive remediation. Track trends over time to identify systemic weaknesses. - Security Assessment & PRD/RFC Review
Review product requirement documents and technical RFCs for security implications, especially for new features, architectural changes, and third-party integrations. Provide actionable threat models and recommendations early in the development cycle so security is built in, not bolted on. - Security Consultancy
Serve as a go-to resource for secure design, secure coding practices, and vulnerability remediation guidance. Partner with developers to solve hard security problems without slowing them down. Help teams make informed risk trade-offs. - SAST & Secure Code Review
Manage and tune static analysis tooling to reduce noise and surface real issues. Conduct manual secure code reviews for critical or high-risk components. Champion secure coding standards and contribute to internal security guidelines. - Security Incident Support
Support incident response efforts by triaging product security issues, conducting root cause analysis, and recommending both immediate fixes and long-term preventive measures. Contribute to post-mortems and help improve the incident response process. - AI/ML Security Guidance
Advise teams on security risks specific to AI/ML systems, including adversarial inputs, model poisoning, data leakage, prompt injection, and supply chain risks in ML pipelines. Stay current on emerging threats in this space and translate research into practical guidance.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Cybersecurity, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 2+ years of experience in application or product security, with a strong foundation in web application security, common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10 and beyond), and secure development lifecycles.
- Hands-on experience with penetration testing tools and methodologies (Burp Suite, custom scripting, etc.)
- Familiarity with SAST/DAST tools and the ability to tune them for real-world effectiveness
- Experience reviewing code in at least one or two major languages (Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, etc.)
- Comfort reading and contributing to technical design documents and threat models
- Exposure to AI/ML systems and an understanding of their unique attack surfaces
- Strong communication skills
- A collaborative mindset; you see yourself as a partner to engineering, not a gatekeeper
Nice to have :
Relevant certifications (OSCP, OSWE, GWAPT, or similar)
Experience building or improving security tooling and automation
Background in bug bounty programs, either running one or participating
Contributions to the security community (talks, blog posts, open-source tools)
