At Tesco, we're committed to aligning with digital advancements and securing new technologies that enable our business to focus on serving customers, communities, and the planet.

  4. Develop application security architecture patterns covering cloud-native services, security design artefacts, and architecture standards in alignment with Tesco's cyber security strategy, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
  5. Perform threat models for strategic application systems, identify security design flaws and technology weaknesses, and define security design requirements to address cyber threats.
  6. Influence decision makers to improve application architecture patterns and strengthen security.
  7. Develop security standards for both front-end and back-end technologies and provide guidance on secure application and web service development.

Requirements
  1. Experience in developing application security architecture patterns and design principles.
  2. Proficiency in apps/API solution-level threat modelling and deep-dive technical security assessments.
  3. Experience with Kubernetes, Docker containers, and preferably GitHub Actions (or other CICD frameworks).
  4. Knowledge of application security frameworks and securing front-end and back-end technologies.
  5. A strong understanding of inherent application design flaws and gaps in different architectures.
  6. Experience with modern SDLC methodologies and technologies.
  7. Familiarity with application attack tactics and techniques (MITRE Framework), security maturity models (OpenSAMM, BSIMM), security frameworks (NIST CSF), security standards (OWASP, SANS Top 25), and regulations (GDPR, PA-DSS).
