Job Description

Job Description

Are you passionate about application security? Do you get a thrill out of discovering security vulnerabilities in web applications and mobile apps? Do you enjoy the challenge of designing creative solutions to tough problems? Are you excited about securing the public cloud? Can you thrive in a dynamic team where our 150k+ customers count on us for protecting their data? If so, you might be a perfect fit for Zendesk's Product Security Team!

At Zendesk Security we believe that security is everyone's responsibility and that security decisions should be simple. When our customers or employees face options, we strive to make the secure options the easiest way of achieving their goals.

On the Zendesk Product Security Team we develop and build processes that allow Zendesk Engineering to make the right, secure decisions for our customers. We partner with our engineers to prioritize security during the entire software development process and provide tools and programs to do so including, but not limited to, a mature bug bounty program, Security Champions program, security reviews, static/dynamic testing tooling and vulnerability management.

Our awesome team

We are a global team with members working around the world. Having team members that come from different cultures and backgrounds gives us a diversity of opinions and experience, enabling us to see problems from many different perspectives and design the best solutions. Our team members are always learning and growing their capabilities and skill sets.

Your manager, Scott, will be there to support your career development and chart a course for your future success at Zendesk. He tries to empower his team members supporting them when they need help, but avoiding taking over and micromanaging. The goal is to always be growing and to do that you will always be faced with new challenges and new opportunities to learn. Scott enjoys gardening, homebrewing and video games, but would really like to hear what you are passionate about - aside from application security, of course!

* Assist in the vulnerability management process including triaging identified vulnerabilities and tracking them through the vulnerability lifecycle.
* Partner engineering through our Security Champions program to nurture a security culture and to help our engineers improve their security posture.

* Support incident response efforts as needed and work with teammates to investigate them.

What you bring to the role:

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or other relevant focus of study.
* At least 5 years of application security experience, plus experience mentoring junior staff.
* Programming experience (Ruby, Python, Scala, Golang, Node.js, Ember.js, or React is a plus) - please send us your GitHub/Bitbucket account or examples of projects, if available.
