Responsibilities

  • Own and drive the end-to-end security posture of all web, API, and infrastructure surfaces
  • Identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities across frontend (web + Electron), backend services, and cloud infrastructure
  • Design and enforce security controls at the Cloudflare edge — WAF policies, bot mitigation rules, Turnstile integrations, and rate limiting strategies
  • Harden AWS environments: API Gateway, EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, and supporting services in line with least-privilege and zero-trust principles
  • Lead threat modelling sessions for new product features and flag security gaps before they reach production
  • Monitor, investigate, and respond to security incidents — from Cloudflare firewall events and WAF alerts to SIEM-detected anomalies
  • Conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments; triage and prioritise findings by business impact
  • Define and enforce HTTP security header policies (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy) across all domains
  • Build and maintain a DDoS response playbook; lead active mitigation during volumetric and application-layer attacks
  • Partner with engineering teams to embed secure coding practices and participate in code reviews for security-sensitive changes
  • Manage the responsible disclosure and bug bounty programme; triage external researcher reports
  • Produce clear security reports, risk registers, and executive briefings; track remediation SLAs
  • Stay current on emerging attack vectors, CVEs, and threat landscape changes relevant to online gaming and fintech platforms

Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in application, infrastructure, and web security
  • Deep expertise in OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities: SQLi, XSS, CSRF, IDOR, RCE, SSRF, and clickjacking
  • Proven experience with DDoS attack detection, mitigation, and post-incident analysis
  • Strong command of Cloudflare — WAF rules, Bot Management, Turnstile, Rate Limiting, Transform Rules, and Firewall Events analysis
  • Hands-on AWS security experience: IAM policies, Security Groups, VPC design, API Gateway throttling, WAFv2, Shield, GuardDuty, and CloudTrail
  • Deep understanding of API security: authentication flows (OAuth2, JWT, OTP abuse), rate limiting and endpoint hardening
  • Experience securing frontend applications against XSS, CSP bypass, clickjacking, and third-party script risks
  • Backend security expertise: input validation, secure coding practices, secrets management, SQL injection prevention
  • Proficiency with penetration testing tools: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Metasploit, Nikto
  • Experience conducting and managing vulnerability assessments, threat modelling, and security audits
  • Solid understanding of TLS/SSL, HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), certificate management
  • Experience with SIEM platforms, log aggregation, alert tuning, and incident response
  • Knowledge of bot mitigation strategies — JA3/JA4 fingerprinting, bot scoring, heuristic vs ML detection
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or GDPR
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to produce security reports and brief non-technical stakeholders
  • Hands-on experience integrating security testing into CI/CD pipelines: SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning as automated gates
