• Product security processes (code analysis, findings analysis, pentesting support)
• Build AI-driven workflows, tools, and agents to reduce manual effort and improve speed and accuracy
• Use AI to improve vulnerability management through triage support, risk classification, remediation guidance, and findings analysis
• Partner with Security Operations to improve detection, triage,investigation and response through automation and AI-assisted analysis
• Integrate AI capabilities into existing security platforms (e.g., Wiz, SIEM, Jira, IAM systems)
• Develop reusable AI-enabled components that scale across teams and studios
• Establish practical guardrails for the safe and effective use of AI in security, including data handling, quality control, and human review
• Define success metrics for AI-enabled workflows, including productivity gains, response times, remediation throughput, and signal quality

 

 

Security Engineering & Platform Enablement

 

• Design and implement scalable security solutions across cloud and backend systems
• Work closely with information security domain owners to ensure games adhere to all relevant security policies, standards, and regulatory requirements
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation on security architectures, processes, and decisions for technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Improve security engineering efficiency through automation and tooling
• Stay updated with the latest security technologies, trends, threats, and AI capabilities, continuously improving security practices

 

 

Stakeholder Engagement & Leadership

 

• Frequently interact with game studio leaders to understand their roadmaps, risk posture, and how information security can enable them to execute their vision securely
• Develop security-related roadmaps in partnership with game teams
• Regularly report to Information Security and Studio management on the threat landscape and security posture of games
• Act as a thought leader using both qualitative and quantitative risk assessment frameworks
• Lead and/or assist in security incidents and investigations

 

 

What We're Looking For

 

• 8+ years of experience in Product Security, software development, or cybersecurity
• Proven track record in securing large-scale software applications and systems
• Strong experience building automation and security tooling
• Hands-on experience applying AI/LLMs to operational workflows, including designing, evaluating, and safely deploying AI-assisted systems is highly desirable
• Ability to effectively communicate business risk and technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

 

 

Technical Expertise

 

• Expertise in modern programming languages such as Python and C#
• Strong understanding of:
• Application and product security
• Vulnerability management and pentesting methodologies
• API and backend security
• Experience with mobile application penetration testing, including traffic interception, runtime analysis and API security.
• Experience with modern development ecosystems, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and developer platforms.
• Strong, hands-on experience with cloud computing environments including:
• AWS shared responsibility model
• IAM and access control
• Network security in the cloud
• Strong understanding of securing cloud workloads including configuration, deployment, and auditing
• Deep knowledge of Linux security practices

 

 

Additional Strengths

 

• Demonstrated ability to think like both an attacker and defender
• Experience architecting for and managing high-scale, high-velocity workloads in AWS preferred
• Familiarity with security frameworks (e.g., OWASP, NIST Cybersecurity Framework) and compliance regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001)
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence across teams

 

 

Bonus Points

 

• Experience applying AI to security, automation, or developer workflows
• Previous experience at a game company
• Familiarity with:
• RAG architectures
• Vector databases (e.g., pgvector)
• AI-assisted code analysis or pentesting
