Talent Network Notice: This listing supports our ongoing worldwide talent pipeline for upcoming projects and future opportunities. It may not represent an immediate vacancy. Suitable candidates may be contacted when a relevant project becomes available.
Role Overview
Neural Career Network handles account data, professional profiles, CVs and employer workflows, so security must be designed into the product rather than added later. In this role, you may assess risks, improve secure-development practices and help us protect applications, infrastructure and sensitive information.
What You'll Do
- Review application architecture, authentication, authorization, APIs and data flows for security weaknesses.
- Perform or coordinate vulnerability assessment, secure code review and practical penetration testing within authorized scope.
- Help establish secure-development standards, threat modelling and security checks in the delivery lifecycle.
- Improve secrets management, access controls, logging, dependency hygiene and environment security.
- Support vulnerability remediation by explaining risk clearly and helping engineering teams implement fixes.
- Contribute to incident-response, backup/recovery and security-monitoring procedures.
- Support privacy-aware handling of candidate and employer data and document security decisions.
What We're Looking For
- Practical understanding of web application and API security, including common OWASP risks.
- Experience assessing authentication, authorization, session management and data-exposure risks.
- Ability to communicate findings with clear severity, evidence and remediation guidance.
- Familiarity with cloud, container or Linux security fundamentals.
- Understanding of secure software-development practices and dependency risk.
- Strong professional ethics and ability to work strictly within authorized testing scope.
- Clear documentation and collaboration skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with threat modelling, SAST/DAST, SBOMs or security automation.
- Cloud security, DevSecOps or container hardening experience.
- Privacy engineering or secure handling of personal data.
- Relevant security certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience.
How We Work & What We Value
- Take ownership — raise risks early, follow through on commitments and care about the final result.
- Communicate clearly — remote work depends on useful updates, good documentation and respectful collaboration.
- Keep learning — we expect tools, AI capabilities and product requirements to keep changing.
- Solve the real problem — challenge unnecessary complexity and suggest better approaches when you see them.
- Respect users and their data — career information is sensitive and should be handled responsibly.
- Work pragmatically — quality matters, but so do prioritization, iteration and delivering useful outcomes.
