About the role

Led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Technology Risk secures Goldman Sachs against hackers and other cyber threats. The team is responsible for detecting and preventing attempted cyber intrusions, helping develop more secure applications and infrastructure, measuring cybersecurity risk, and designing and driving implementation of cybersecurity controls globally across the Americas, APAC, India, and EMEA.

Within Technology Risk, Advisory is the consultative and technology subject matter expertise arm. The team assesses new technology initiatives for risk, partners with engineers to architect and design secure products and services, embeds implementation reviews as part of the SDLC and CI/CD pipeline, and guides technology innovation in security and control across Goldman Sachs. Advisory plays a critical role in designing and assessing controls for the firm’s transition to building native public cloud applications.

Responsibilities

  • Perform software architecture design reviews for on-premise or cloud deployments, with a focus on AWS.
  • Serve as an Application security liaison for developers and architects in the respective Business Unit.
  • Review security assessment reports from penetration testing and code review engagements.
  • Conduct read-out calls with the business to articulate risk and recommend mitigation strategies.
  • Develop secure architecture design patterns, particularly for cloud-native applications on AWS.
  • Leverage and integrate AI/LLM-driven tools to streamline security review workflows.
  • Mentor junior members of the team.

Requirements

  • 6 or more years’ experience in one or more technical roles (focusing on application security and cloud security).
  • Prior experience in performing Threat Modeling, Secure Design Reviews, or Secure Architecture Reviews.
  • Knowledge of common Application Security vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and cloud security gaps.
  • Familiarity with security standards such as OWASP Testing Guide, OWASP ASVS, NIST, and SANS Top 20.
  • Understanding of common security controls and how they apply to different designs and systems, including secure authentication, access controls, encryption (at rest/in transit), IDS/IPS, DLP, and malware.
  • Experience in application vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of web, thick-client, or mobile applications.
  • Working knowledge of application security tools such as fuzzers, scanners, debuggers, decompilers, proxies, and simulators.
  • Familiarity with modern web stack technologies (e.g., HTTP, HTML5, AJAX, REST) and platforms (e.g., DropWizard, Spring Boot, AngularJS, React, Tomcat, .Net, Sybase, MS SQL, MongoDB).
  • Familiarity with common cloud services, recommended security best practices, and secure deployment patterns (AWS preferred).
  • Understanding of core cryptography concepts (Encryption, Hashing, HMAC, digital signatures) and how they are applied and attacked in web applications (e.g., TLS attacks, CBC attacks).
  • Ability to analyze protocols (OAuth, SAML, OIDC), flows, and interactions in a system design to evaluate gaps.
  • Ability to identify threats, abuse cases, and gaps in design before implementation.
  • Strong written and oral communication to articulate risks to both technical and management stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience crafting custom proof-of-concept application exploits using testing tools/frameworks or scripting exploits in Python, Perl, JavaScript, or Shell scripting.
  • Knowledge of network, application, and operating system security risks.
  • MS in Computer Science, System/Computer Engineering, Cyber-Security, or Information Security.
  • Experience or training in related disciplines (e.g., computer science, computer security, software development, system design, open-source frameworks, encryption schemes).
  • Experience conducting architecture reviews of Mobile applications.
  • Strong experience with AWS security services and best practices (e.g., IAM, Security Groups, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Inspector).
  • Experience securing trading and payments platforms, including knowledge of relevant compliance requirements (e.g., PCI DSS).
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
  • AWS certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty).
