Security Engineer - Cryptography Specialist

Duties:

• Work closely with other application security engineers to perform reviews and tests on Web and Conventional applications as well as embedded, firmware, mobile, and more.
• Perform in-depth security assessment of crypto configurations.
• Ensure the cryptographic implementations provide data integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation.
• Use a combination of manual and automated techniques to assess risks and circumvent security mechanisms of devices and applications.
• Create threat models that result in more secure application design.
• Design and develop security testing scenarios.
• Perform cloud configuration audits and cloud design reviews.
• Analyze and present results of testing to team members, managers, and customers.
• Write detailed problem reports, test plan documents, and mitigation recommendations as needed.
• Develop tools to aid penetration test automation and effectiveness.
• Review code for common security vulnerabilities.
• Possible travel to client sites to conduct in-person security reviews and assessments (travel is very limited, up to 2 to 3 times a year at most for up to 5 business days to client sites to conduct in-person security reviews and assessments.
