Job Description

• Participating in the implementation efforts
• Doing security reviews
• Helping with product design decisions
• Auditing and surfacing vulnerabilities in our current products
• Conducting threat modeling and security assessments for new features and systems, identifying risks early and shaping secure architectural decisions.
• Developing and improving our Automated Tooling: further enhancing our automated tooling to scale our product security capabilities and find potential code problems both before and after we deploy
• Making the safe way, the easy way: work on defining and building application guardrails so that developers can build securely by default
• Investigating and remediating security issues, including vulnerabilities and incidents, and drive long-term improvements to prevent recurrence
• Embedding a culture of secure development across engineering, defining practices that influence how Turnkey builds, deploys, and maintains systems at scale.
