Staff Security Engineer

As our Staff Security Engineer, you will be responsible for application, cloud and enterprise security assessment and recommendations, and will implement external integrations as well as in house projects to accomplish state of the art security tooling, and practices, for all our products. Everyday you will work closely with Engineering, Information Security, Data and several other functions to ensure security is part of the VTS technology’s design and development workflows. You will use processes like code reviews, security architecture reviews and mentorship, among others, to accomplish this. 

To thrive in this role you must have expert knowledge of network and web related protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, IPSEC, HTTP and BGP) and experience protecting against and mitigating real-world attacks (DDoS, XSS, session-hijacking, SQL injection, CSRF, etc). You will have hands-on experience with cloud-native security architecture on AWS, GCP or Azure (AWS preferred) and substantial experience with a modern programming language like Go, Python, or Ruby on Rails among others. Solid experience with web and mobile application pentesting, linux architecture and security are also required.

Please note: we are only able to hire individuals currently living in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia
