Security Engineer - Red Team
Company Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte! Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time-consuming, and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point. Where and how you can work Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have a choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. What you’d be doing in this role As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.
Job Description
About the Security Group / Team
Canva’s goal is to create the world's most trusted platform, which makes security a top priority. As our product, platforms, infrastructure, and corporate environments grow and evolve, so too does our need to respond to an ever-increasing threat landscape.
The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. Our teams work together and with other groups to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk. The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, and Threat Detection and Response domains.
The Red Team focuses on emulating adversaries and testing Canva’s ability to detect and respond to them. We’re constantly identifying new and innovative attack techniques, reviewing the latest industry trends, and mapping out credible attack scenarios to run against Canva.
As a Red Team Security Engineer, your mission is to work together with Threat Intelligence, Detection & Response and Application Security teams to ensure that Canva is prepared and able to effectively respond to these real-world threats.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
Planning, designing, and executing sophisticated threat scenarios that emulate realistic adversary techniques to identify vulnerabilities and response gaps in Canva’s product, platform and infrastructure.
Researching viable attack paths and demonstrating how the risks may apply to Canva through stealth operations and collaborative purple team engagements.
Collaborating closely with security incident responders to continuously uplift Canva’s threat detection and response capabilities.
Engaging with cross-functional teams across Canva to communicate risks, provide recommendations and develop effective risk mitigation strategies for enhancing security posture.
Providing technical guidance, mentoring, and support to engineers conducting security assessments and vulnerability analysis.
Communicate and present operational outcomes at various levels of the business, including internal teams and the wider engineering organisation, as well as product owners and leadership.
You're probably a match if you have
Demonstrated experience as an offensive security engineer and performing team engagements from reconnaissance through to actioning on objectives.
Ability to effectively communicate operational findings, risk ratings and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders; build rapport with engineering and security teams to drive post-engagement outcomes.
Practical experience with offensive security tools and techniques, and how they can be applied within a complex business environment; experience operating offensive tooling and infrastructure (e.g. C2 frameworks, short haul vs. long haul infrastructure).
Continuous development of knowledge around current and emerging security threats, and how those threats could impact Canva.
Experience exploiting macOS and Linux endpoints, as well as corporate SaaS environments.
Solid foundational understanding of cloud infrastructure platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP).
Software development experience, with proficiency in either Golang or Python
What's in it for you? Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work. Here's a taste of what's on offer:
Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
An inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and support you personally
Check out lifeatcanva.com for more info. Other stuff to know We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process. Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.
