Lead Security Engineer - Chase UK

JPMorgan Chase & Co. London, United Kingdom

Job Description

We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionise mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We're already trusted by millions in the US and we're quickly catching up in the UK - but how we do things here is a little different. We're building the bank of the future from scratch, channelling our start-up mentality every step of the way - meaning you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact.

As a Web Application Product Security Lead at JPMorgan Chase within the International Consumer Bank, you will be a part of a flat-structure organization. Your responsibilities are to deliver end-to-end cutting-edge solutions in the form of cloud-native microservices architecture applications leveraging the latest technologies and the best industry practices. You are expected to be involved in the design and architecture of the solutions while also focusing on the entire SDLC lifecycle stages.

Our Security Engineering team is at the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers. We're looking for people who have a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about new technology. By their nature, our people are also solution-oriented, commercially savvy and have a head for fintech. We work in tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects - and depending on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move between them.

This product security role in International Consumer Banking has the opportunity to explore a wide range of problem spaces, working primarily on web application security whilst getting exposure to our Android and iOS mobile apps. You will engage directly with development teams and the wider security team to collaborate and solve technical problems. You will analyse application code, detect complex vulnerabilities, and communicate directly with the development teams to educate and assist them in mitigating these risks. You will develop frameworks and tools to perform automated detection of vulnerabilities. You will define best practices across the business to help us engineer more secure products that allows us to build trust at scale.

Job Summary:

As a Lead Security Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the International Consumer Banking division, you will primarily focus on web application security, collaborating with development and security teams.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Perform web application security review across consumer banking products and provide thought leadership and guidance to peers and senior management.
  • Build automation (static and dynamic analysis) and frameworks with software engineers that can improve security, whilst also improving developer and customer experience.
  • Provide guidance and education to developers that help prevent the authoring of vulnerabilities.
  • Challenge and assess potential technology risks including information and cyber security control weaknesses. Provide technology risk subject matter expertise and communicate the risk environment to management and other key stakeholders.
  • Build solid professional relationships with matrixed teams to include technology, business, audit, and operational risk partners.

  • Knowledge of tools used in the security industry (e.g. Burp, OWASP ZAP).
  • Python, Ruby, Go or a similar language that can help you aid in the implementation of automation tooling.
