Product Security Engineer II - Partnerships

We are looking for a Product Security Engineer to help scale our product security function, partnering closely with Research & Development teams to ensure that security is appropriately addressed across the HashiCorp suite of cloud, self-managed, and community products.

Security at HashiCorp is largely a remote team. While prior experience working remotely isn't required, we are looking for team members who perform well given a high level of independence and autonomy.

About this team

The product security partnerships team is composed of security engineers working to ensure HashiCorp delivers secure software to its customers. We work closely with product engineering teams at HashiCorp, enabling them to write secure code and embed security into the development processes. We are responsible for design review, threat modeling, and code review of new features, as well as vulnerability management across our entire product portfolio.

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

• Contribute to secure architecture and design of HashiCorp products, across our cloud, self-managed, and community product portfolio.
• Work across various R&D teams to prioritize security features and bugs, and ensure implementation and mitigations.
• Monitor threats and vulnerabilities impacting HashiCorp products and services; triage reported vulnerabilities, identify mitigations and assess/communicate associated risk.
• Act as SME on multiple information security areas (e.g. security architecture, application security, threat modeling etc.)
• Plan & execute security assessments (dynamic testing, static testing, code review, etc) and threat modeling of HashiCorp’s products, services, and associated cloud infrastructure.
• Assist in execution of 3rd-party audits, penetration tests, and bug bounty programs.
• Contribute to the development of security solutions across the product life-cycle, such as standalone security tools, CI/CD pipeline integrations, product security features/fixes, etc.
• Contribute to the creation and delivery of security training.
• Research emerging attack vectors and techniques.

We are looking for talented self-starters with 4+ years of security experience. We will consider experienced engineers with less security-specific experience but the desire to learn!

What you’ll need (basic qualifications)

Experience in some of these topic areas:

• Secure development practices, and integration into broader engineering activities.
• Modern engineering practices, processes, and tools, particularly related to the Go programming language and ecosystem.
• Product and service architectures in modern, multi-tenant cloud environments (IaaS, SaaS, PaaS).
• Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Security design / architecture and threat modeling.
• Application and infrastructure security testing methodologies and tools.
• Vulnerabilities (old and new), and options for defense / mitigation.
• Product vulnerability management lifecycle.
• Working with and/or supporting product engineering teams
• Cryptography and cryptographic primitives

We’re looking for a candidate with strong written and verbal communication skills, knowledge of application security topics, a pragmatic approach to security, and the ability to empathize with engineers and product managers across the company.

Please note, as communication is a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate. In your cover letter, describe why you're interested in working at HashiCorp, and what draws you to this role in particular.

HashiCorp embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our company will be.
