Lead Security Engineer, Product Security

There are NO limits to your career: come shape the future and be part of a truly unique global culture at OutSystems!

About This Role

As a Lead Security Engineer, Product Security at OutSystems, you will be the goalkeeper, preventing insecure design flaws and sneaky bugs from ever reaching production. You’ll conduct threat modeling exercises with developers before they start coding, add security requirements to design specifications, and review PRs by manually auditing the source code and by poking at the live product in a staging environment. You will collaborate heavily with the rest of the Product Security team, as well as the greater security team and its stakeholders, in a variety of activities, either offensive or defensive in nature, ultimately aimed at safeguarding our users who entrust OutSystems with their business’ livelihoods every day.

You will work frequently with and support developers within Engineering (R&D) and Digital, as well as members of the cloud infrastructure team, security team, the compliance team, DevOps, Product, Release Management, and other teams throughout the organization. Do you love to solve puzzles? Are you a great team player? Do you care tremendously about code quality? Then please consider joining our team! 
 

What you’ll do:

• Contributing security-focused feedback to engineers during all phases of the development lifecycle

• Performing technical security assessments on our web apps, APIs, native clients, internal services, and partner products

• Seeking out opportunities to automate processes when appropriate

• Scaling the impact of our team through direct mentorship of our more junior team members

• Communicating risks to engineering staff through training and technical demonstration of vulnerabilities and secure design patterns

• Maintaining and creating secure development practices and programs for our engineering teams and external developers

• Acting as an ambassador for security within OutSystems

• Serving as a public representative for security at OutSystems by engaging periodically in internal and external speaking engagements

• Identifying emerging classes of vulnerabilities and developing solutions for them before they’re a problem

• Efficiently scoping blackbox, whitebox, and graybox assessments to optimize security review time and resources

What You Need To Succeed

• Proven track record of architecting and securing world-class, large scale commercial products and services.

• Stellar teamwork and collaboration skills.

• Proven track record of effectively working with remote teams.

• Proven ability to manage multiple dependencies and negotiate win-win approaches to complex technical problems spanning multiple teams.

• State of the art understanding for security best practices across a wide range of technology stacks, which must include Kubernetes.

• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming and architectural design patterns.

• In depth experience with AWS/Azure/GCP PaaS, microservices, and container orchestration with Kubernetes.

• Public speaking engagements or published research is also a plus; a successful engineer in this role will be expected to represent OutSystems externally from time to time
