Job Description

The opportunity

E&Y is seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer with experience conducting application security assessments using automated tools (i.e., SAST, DAST, IAST). Qualified candidates would likely have ~ 2 years experience either developing secure code or conducting application security assessments. In this role, this engineer would support a variety of large assessment programs for our clients where the main techniques involve the use of automated tools coupled with manual triage and reporting. The candidate should have experience installing, integrating and onboarding applications with one or more commercial automated tools such as Fortify, AppScan, CheckMarx, Contrast, CAST, and WebInspect. In addition candidate should have demonstrated ability to effectively triage results, validate vulnerabilities using manual methods and provide developers with guidance on how to address.

What to expect

In a rapidly changing IT environment, clients from all industries look to us for trusted solutions for their increasingly complex risks and vulnerabilities. As a member of our Application Security team you'll be right at the heart of that goal, helping clients gain insight and context to their cyber threats and assessing, improving, and building security solutions in order to mitigate these threats. You'll get to use your technical and business skills in order to help us drive this mission and have an impact on cyber security at a global level.

You'll work alongside respected industry professionals, learning about and using the latest tools and techniques to identify and overcome some of the most relevant and pressing security issues in the world. It's a highly specialized area, where you'll learn highly sought after technical skills, all while developing your relationship management abilities - often by working directly on-site with our clients.

Our security professionals possess diverse industry knowledge, along with unique technical expertise and specialized skills. The team stays highly relevant by researching and discovering the newest security vulnerabilities, attending and speaking at top security conferences around the world, and sharing knowledge on a variety of topics with key industry groups. The team frequently provides thought leadership and information exchanges through traditional and less conventional communications channels such as speaking at conferences, publishing white papers and blogging.

Our professionals work together in planning, pursuing, delivering and managing engagements to assess, improve, build, and in some cases operate integrated security solutions for our clients.

* Verbally present findings and recommendations in conversations with developers and client management.
* Overtime develop ability to design solutions and programs.

* Candidate should have experience performing assessments with one or more of the following automated tools - Fortify, AppScan, CheckMarx, Contrast, CAST, and WebInspect.
* Familiarity with common vulnerability management practices.
* Solid understanding and ability to explain to others the characteristics of common application security vulnerabilities, i.e., OWASP Top Ten.

* Experience with the following is a plus:
* Automation tools like Vagrant, Docker, Ansible, or Chef.
* Cloud Technologies/Services. AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry or Microsoft Azure is a plus.
* Quick thinking and initiative: two of the most important qualities we look for in a candidate. You must be comfortable taking input from stakeholders and taking initiative without specific direction. You should be able to multi-task and work productively in high interrupt environment.
* Excellent communication skills (verbal, written and presentation) and the ability to interface with both executive management and technical personnel.
* This position may involve onsite presence at client site Mon-Thurs for 6-12 month durations.
