This individual ensures comprehensive coverage of cybersecurity requirements that are translated into actionable, testable, and verifiable outcomes across teams, enabling consistent execution of cybersecurity test strategies.

Essential Duties

• Define a standardized cybersecurity testing strategy for the Software Quality Engineering organization that aligns with product architecture, regulatory requirements, and business goals.

• Work with architecture teams to set cybersecurity testing standards and shape software architecture and development practices so vulnerabilities surface earlier.
• Partner with development, cybersecurity, quality assurance, peer engineers, and architects to find vulnerabilities and embed security testing into the product lifecycle.
• Coordinate with external partners and consultants on joint security testing.
• Contribute to multiple codebases within Scrum teams, resolve environment and test automation issues, and review and approve code and test changes.
• Lead discussions about which test level is right for a given piece of functionality, and engage at any test level when the work requires it.
• Keep up with new cybersecurity threats, tools, and practices, and revise testing methods when needed.

Other Duties And Responsibilities
