Validate the security of APIs and SDKs used across our live game services and third-party platforms.

Tooling & Automation

Automate security baselines and controls using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.

Streamline tooling signal-to-noise across platforms including CrowdStrike, Datadog, Abnormal Security, and Valimail.

Act as a key security partner to engineering leads, embedding security reviews into architecture and design workflows.

Support publishing partners in adopting and aligning with Fortis SSDLC and security checklist requirements.

What You’ll Need to Be Successful

6+ years in Security Engineering or DevSecOps, with at least 2 years in a leadership or management capacity.

Deep hands-on expertise in AWS security, Kubernetes / EKS, and securing CI / CD pipelines.

Proven experience implementing and operating tools such as SAST, DAST, and CSPM in production environments.

Strong background in secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) and developer enablement.

Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and automation practices.

Exceptional communication and program management skills, especially across cross-functional stakeholders.

Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or OSCP are a plus but not required.

We’ve been made aware that some people have been approached by recruiters posing as representatives from Fortis (or third-party recruiters). This is an evolution of the more traditional job scams that have been around for some time. It’s predatory and we’re sorry to anyone who has been the target of this behavior.

Before providing any personal information to anyone posing as a representative of Fortis Games, please make sure that the e-mail was sent from the official fortisgames.com domain ONLY or via Fortis Games recruiters on LinkedIn. We also make use of various reputable third-party recruiting firms with well-established relationships in the industry (if they are not on LinkedIn and not connected to a number of people you know, it’s probably a bad sign).
