Job Description:

Emerging technologies and digital assets are being adopted at an ever-increasing pace. Fidelity is investing in a number of projects in this space. The mission of the Emerging Technology Cybersecurity Assessment Team is to protect Fidelity's assets and our customers’ livelihoods from the threat of exploitation by malicious adversaries. We do this by proactively helping developers to identify vulnerabilities in our systems and serving as subject matter experts to enable the business units to mitigate them in a positive, collaborative, innovative manner.

This is done by providing training and tooling to teams to enable them to seamlessly integrate security into all stages of the development pipeline.

This is a high-visibility role that requires strong technical expertise, strategic thinking, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

This is an individual contributor role.
