Application Security Engineer
As Kiwi.com has grown with incredible speed, our teams created a lot of microservices. This was a trigger for the creation of the Platform team which then gained some control over those. As the number of services grew, even more, we naturally split into separate squads, one of them being focused on Application Security.
- SDL – to help teams with security decisions and to prevent them from introducing new security flaws without introducing friction.
- Bug Bounty Program – triaging vulnerabilities from the world’s best hackers on our (currently private) HackerOne program.
- Cloud Security – cooperating with our infrastructure squad to secure our Kubernetes and Google Cloud Services with new shiny tools like IAP, Istio or Vault.
- Best Practices – creating secure development practices and programs for our engineering teams and external developers
- Automation – writing tools to help with the automation of tedious security tasks, e.g. helping with security checks in The Zoo or maintain services such as Security Monkey.
- Community – building internal security awareness among developers, making internal security workshops or helping the external community by organizing and speaking on meetups
- We are a group of passionate developers who like to do stuff the right way.
