You will be part of SecDev's Application Security team. You will embed yourself in one or more of Blizzard's teams to help them build secure software. Not only you will help find and fix existing vulnerabilities, but also actively participate on preventing new vulnerabilities from being introduced. You will also have the opportunity to work with elite software engineers to solve specific hard security problems, "tiger team" style.

* Help detect, highlight, and close security vulnerabilities that surface during the software development lifecycle.

Requirements

* Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
* A minimum of 3 years experience in secure Web Application development.
* Expert knowledge of security problems associated with modern web languages and frameworks, including but not limited to Javascript (front and backend), Java and C#.
* Knowledge of penetration testing techniques, application security vulnerabilities, OWASP Top 10, SANS 25, CWE, and whitebox exploitation via Burpsuite/Fiddler or similar.
* Excellent ability to discover and demonstrate flaws such as SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF.
* Solid understanding of database (SQL, noSQL) security.
* Knowledge of encryption theory and practice (e.g. TLS, HMAC, RSA, AES, PKI) .
* Be able to adapt and be entrepreneurial and solve problems quickly, creatively, and collaboratively.

Pluses

* Aptitude for doing threat modeling on complex systems.
* Experience in Mobile software development and security.

* Enjoys tasty beverages - we work hard and play hard.
