Product Security Engineer II

What will you do?

You will serve as the dedicated security engineer for our on-premises Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software. Customers deploy these products within their own data centers as hardened virtual or hardware appliances, or as packaged software on customer-managed Linux hosts.

You will develop deep expertise in these offers and serve as a security subject matter expert throughout the Secure Development Lifecycle. Working closely with engineering teams, product owners, Security Advisors, and other cybersecurity partners, you will identify, assess, prioritize, and help resolve product security risks and vulnerabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Vulnerability Management: Triage vulnerability reports from scanners such as Snyk, Dependabot, container scanning, and Nessus, as well as internal security teams, external researchers, and testing firms. Assess exploitability and severity using CVSS 3.1/4.0 and drive findings through resolution.
• Security Testing & Disclosure: Coordinate internal and external penetration testing and programs such as CyTRICS. Reproduce and validate findings, verify fixes, and partner with PSIRT on coordinated vulnerability disclosure and customer security notifications.
• Release Security: Lead security reviews for product releases, collect required security evidence and artifacts, and work with the product security organization through release approval.
• Product Security & Customer Assurance: Maintain risk assessments, threat models, security documentation, and customer security information. Support requirements associated with cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
• Secure Development: Review designs and code for vulnerabilities involving authentication, authorization, SSRF, XXE, path traversal, session management, security logging, and secrets management. Guide or implement remediation and develop negative security tests.
• Software Supply Chain & Hardening: Maintain comprehensive SBOMs for released products. Partner with DevOps to ensure effective security scanning within build pipelines, support release/package signing, and define security-hardening requirements for appliances and customer-managed Linux environments.

What qualifications will make you successful?

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering or cybersecurity, including 3+ years in product or application security.
• Ability to review Java/Spring, TypeScript, and Linux configurations to investigate and validate security findings.
• Hands-on experience with SCA and vulnerability scanning tools, CVSS, CWE, and OWASP Top 10.
• Working knowledge of IEC 62443-4-1/4-2, NIST SSDF, or comparable secure development standards.
• Knowledge of applied cryptography, FIPS 140-3 modes, PKI/TLS, LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, container/Kubernetes security, and SBOM formats such as CycloneDX or SPDX.
• Experience triaging externally reported vulnerabilities and supporting coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
• Strong communication skills with developers, product managers, Legal, customers, security researchers, and external testing organizations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cybersecurity legislation or regulation, including the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
• Experience managing penetration testing or external security-testing programs such as CyTRICS.
• Ability to implement security fixes in Java/Spring or TypeScript.
• Experience using AI-assisted tools for secure code review or vulnerability discovery.
