    IBM (San Jose, CA)


    Introduction

    A career in IBM Software means you'll be part of a team that transforms our customer's challenges into industry-leading solutions.

     

    We are an infinitely curious team, always seeking new possibilities, and dedicated to creating the world's leading AI-powered, cloud-native

     

    software solutions. Our renowned legacy creates endless global opportunities for our network of IBMers.

     

    We are a team of deep product experts, ensuring exceptional client experiences, with a focus on delivery, excellence, and customer outcomes.

     

    This position involves contributing to HashiCorp's offerings, now part of IBM, which empower organizations to automate and secure multi-cloud

     

    and hybrid environments. You will join a team managing the lifecycle of infrastructure and security, enhancing IBM's cloud solutions to ensure

     

    enterprises achieve efficiency, security, and scalability in their cloud journey.

     

    About this team

     

    The Product Security Platform 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.

     

    Your role and responsibilities

     

    We are looking for a Product Security Engineer II 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.

    perform well given a high level of independence and autonomy.

    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.
