Your job
On the AppSec Assessments team, candidates should expect to play a central role in helping protect Indeed’s applications and services by identifying security risks early, partnering closely with product and engineering teams, and guiding practical remediation. This work requires exceptional technical judgment, clear communication, and the ability to influence without becoming a blocker. The team operates with the mindset that effective security comes from embedding into the development lifecycle, building trusted relationships, and helping teams make sound risk decisions in a fast-moving, cloud-native environment.
Candidates should also understand that this role goes beyond individual assessments. The team is growing and scaling, so there is a real opportunity to help shape how application security is delivered: improving workflows and tooling, contributing operational metrics and guidance, mentoring others, and raising the overall security bar through repeatable processes and excellent cross-functional partnership. It is a chance to do meaningful work with experienced security and engineering teams in support of Indeed’s mission, while helping secure a large-scale platform that serves millions of users daily.

Investigate transactional data, log files and/or other system outputs to identify malicious or anomalous activity.
