Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Science, Cyber Security, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, a related field, or a foreign equivalent
Must have 4 years of experience in job offered or related occupation
Must have 4 years of experience in Software security architecture and design, threat modeling, security code review, SDLC, and best practices and mitigations for application security
Must have 4 years of experience in identifying security gaps in the design and configuration issues in individual components

What the job involves

Conduct threat modeling, architecture review, security code review, security assessment, penetration testing (web application, native application, web services, cloud-based services, and infrastructure assessments)
Perform cloud infrastructure review from a security perspective; the primary focus will be on AWS and many of its common service components such as S3, IAM, EC2, VPC
Perform in-depth security review of new Zoom features. This includes identifying security vulnerabilities (OWASP top ten, common issues in NVD, RCE), reviewing code in Java or C++, verifying security posture through pen-test (using manual/automated techniques with tools like Kali Linux, Burp suite, Checkmarx, WebInspect)
Identify gaps in existing cloud security architecture design/configuration and recommend changes (authentication, authorization, network segmentation, container configuration, bastion host setup)
Partner with engineering and operation teams to integrate mitigation controls into continuous integration, delivery and deployment processes
Work on essential areas to develop security baseline for cloud, container, and application and integrate it into the CI/CD pipeline; and
Implement security architecture, methods, and controls required to meet security, compliance, and audit requirements (NIST controls, SOC2)

Our take

Zoom reworked video conferencing when most people assumed it was a solved problem, with services from Cisco and Skype already ubiquitous in workplaces and homes. However, its videoconferencing infrastructure was simpler to use, faster and more flexible than any previous solution, and it swiftly took the world by storm.

Its success bred competition, however, and companies such as Microsoft and Google, along with numerous smaller communications firms, have begun making inroads on Zoom's formerly commanding lead. Additionally, as workplaces are mostly adopting a hybrid or flexible working strategy, some of its importance as a workplace tool is wearing off and it is recording a gradual decline in daily usage rates.

To counter these trends, Zoom is expanding its business offerings through product development and strategic aquisitions, such as that of Solvvy (an AI and automation service) in 2022. It remains to be seen if this will be enough to turn things around for Zoom: along with many other large tech companies it has recently engaged in large-scale layoffs to realign itself with a difficult economic situation. Still, it is a profitable company and a household name, and its track record of innovation means it is still very much one to watch in the communications space.
