About the job
Why This Role is Exciting
At Innovatrics, we empower you with the resources, environment, and trust necessary for your success. Our growth-oriented approach illustrates how you can evolve, contribute, and create a significant impact during your tenure with us.
Security is a cornerstone of our biometric solutions utilized in elections, border control, digital ID, and secure onboarding across more than 80 countries. We are ISO 27001 certified and are committed to continuously enhancing our security framework.
This position emphasizes the critical aspects of our ecosystem: ensuring the security of software development, architecture, and deployment both in SaaS and on-premise installations.
You will not be inheriting a large security team; instead, you will have the opportunity to influence how security is integrated into engineering practices.
In your initial months, you will delve into...
- Our biometric products and system architecture
- Deployment models for SaaS and on-premises (Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD)
- Current secure development methodologies
- The implementation of ISO 27001 controls within engineering
Your role will involve identifying vulnerabilities in product and deployment security and outlining a practical roadmap that aligns with our engineering objectives.
Once you acclimate to your role, you will contribute by...
- Defining and evolving our security strategy for solutions
- Integrating secure SDLC practices across engineering teams
- Introducing structured threat modeling and conducting security design reviews
- Enhancing the security of Kubernetes, cloud, and CI/CD processes
- Establishing a comprehensive vulnerability management and secure release protocol
- Serving as the security authority for software and deployment-related risks, with the authority to halt releases if critical risks are detected
- Functioning as a white-hat hacker to test our injection attack detection systems
You will collaborate with ITO on ISO 27001 issues, but your primary responsibility will focus on security within software engineering and deployments.
Within your first year, you will have the chance to...
- Develop product security into a measurable engineering discipline
- Enhance hardening baselines for both SaaS and on-premises environments
- Implement integrated DevSecOps practices into our CI/CD pipeline
- Increase the visibility of product security risks to leadership
- Prepare the engineering scope for surveillance and recertification audits
- Potentially expand a dedicated product security capability
This is a high-impact role that will shape how secure software is developed and delivered.
What You Will Help Build
At Innovatrics, we create biometric technologies that are pivotal for elections, border control, digital ID, and secure onboarding in over 80 countries.
Your efforts will safeguard sensitive biometric data and essential systems.
Your contributions will directly affect how each engineering team designs, constructs, and deploys software.
Join us if you are passionate about deeply embedding security into architecture and engineering practices.
