The role This role is about transforming the way security is delivered within our engineering teams in Tesco Technology. As our software and enterprise APIs continue the move to the cloud, we have different security challenges, and this role is to help teams navigate that change successfully. The boundary between infrastructure and application has virtually disappeared and being secure means support through the entire SDLC – from the ideas phase into threat modelling during design, during development then through to production and ops. Developing strong security partnerships for Tesco Technology Security partnerships are about transforming the way security is delivered within our technology domains and software engineering teams. We have different security challenges, and your role as a security partner is to actively champion positive security change within your product teams. Job accountabilities On a day-to-day basis you will • Provide engineering and product teams with direction and guidance for all security matters. There is a whole security organisation to back you up, so that is not as scary as it sounds. • Help product teams deliver new business features securely while balancing and clearly articulating technical and business risk. • You will be expected to drive the deployment/integration of security capabilities into engineering teams within the product domain. • You will drive security initiatives such as developing security requirements, threat modelling, strengthening application security, vulnerability reduction, etc., with the engineering teams. • Reducing friction is paramount and we are all about fast feedback within existing workflows, not adding another console for a developer to check. • Support teams in a collaborative manner in matters of mobile application, web application, cloud and data security, with threat modelling, risk treatment and security advice across all security domains. If you can raise a PR to resolve fix a security issue, do so. • Facilitate risk remediation but also challenge decisions and status-quo. • Facilitate in assurance activities like penetration testing, purple testing, app assurance. • Build quarterly/monthly roadmaps for security activities and plan them. • Be an evangelist for security, take part in strengthening Tesco’s internal policies and standards. Longer-term, the nature of the role also means you are expected to identify new problem spaces, propose fixes, engage across disciplines. In other words, we want you to innovate and will give you the room to do so. If you can think of ways to do security, faster, more 3 accurately, with greater consistency and at scale while minimizing friction, you will be supported all the way.

To excel in this position, you need to bring the following: • Solid security experience across common security domains – the technology might have changed but most of the security challenges have not. • A thorough understanding of modern application development practices so that security capabilities can be introduced and embedded while minimising developer friction. • Excellent interpersonal, facilitation, and leadership skills along with effective communication (both written and verbal) skills. • Be able to provide security guidance to engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle. • Be able to develop threat models, attack trees, and embed security by design in product engineering effort. • Good understanding of web technologies, REST APIs, micro services, modern application development, and mobile apps. • Good understanding of software architecture, dev-sec-ops, and network security. • Experience in browser security or mobile app security is desirable. • Good understanding of industry standards such as OWASP ASVS, OWASP Top-10, CIS benchmarks. • Hands-on experience with complex Azure and AWS architectures with an emphasis on containerised workloads. • Command-line/API experience is highly desirable as security automation is a strategic priority. • Some coding experience in something is always a plus - Java, HTML, JavaScript. You do not need to “be a developer” but you do need to understand the implications of security on engineering velocity. • Knowledge of and experience with PCI-DSS will be desirable. • A minimum of 5 years of experience in security engineering or closely related areas. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science / Information Systems or Engineering discipline. • Azure or AWS cloud security certifications (preferred)
