Position Description
Cognizant is searching for an experienced Application Security Architect who can lead application security initiatives for product teams in the Cognizant Healthcare division. This will include day-to-day collaboration with product teams, ensuring that they meet Cognizant Security requirements and architectural standards in addition to regulatory and contractual obligations. This will also include reviewing application designs to ensure security is part of each product from the start. You would ensure solutions are appropriately assessed prior to release, and work with product teams to prioritize remediation of findings from security activities.
This is not an assessment/testing role; although testing experience will be beneficial, the role is for design-level review and guidance.
To excel in this role, you will need the following:
5+ years of application security and secure coding experience.
Expertise in implementing a secure SDLC within an Agile framework for new and existing applications.
Expertise in designing and implementing application security controls across complex and diverse environments.
Experience reviewing testing/scanning results and communicating the technical implications to development teams.
Ability to assess real-world risk and communicate that in technical and business/management contexts.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, including the development of reports and best practices documents.
An attitude of always learning, sharing your knowledge with the team, and collaborating across multiple security teams.
Strong attention to detail and self-organization skills.
Experience working remotely and with geographically separated teams.
