In this role, you will:

· Perform pen-testing of all games using both in-house and off-the-shelf tools (e.g. Wireshark, Fiddler, and Burp).
· Ensure all game features are reviewed and any security findings are resolved.
· Develop and manage in-house tools that are used for pen-testing of all games.
· Verbal and written communication of security risk and business impact to engineers and managers of all levels.
