• Perform network infrastructure security assessments on game servers and gaming infrastructure
• Advise and consult with EA staff to identify and reduce security risks
• Solve complex technical problems and articulate to both technical and non-technical partners
• Identify root causes for vulnerabilities (whether they be in design, in implementation, or in configuration) and recommend future preventative measures
• Teach, learn, and develop your skillset within the team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or Information Security
• Fundamental understanding of CWE Top 25 and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, and ability to discover these vulnerabilities in assessment targets
• Knowledge of operating systems internals for Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
• Network infrastructure security knowledge for both traditional networks and cloud
• Ability to read and understand unfamiliar code and to identify new application security vulnerabilities in C++, Java, C#, and common scripting languages
• Experience with security assessment tools such as Burp Suite, Nessus, nmap, and Wireshark
• Software development experience and the ability to write your own tools and automation scripts
• Ability to find all instances of a given vulnerability in a product upon discovering a single instance of the vulnerability
• Excellent verbal and written English skills, interpersonal skills, and professionalism in dealing with all levels of management and staff
