Product Security Specialist

Job Description
Join Nokia’s Autonomous Networks engineering team building a next-generation Core Network Management System that helps telecom operators monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot networks, proactively identify issues, perform automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and provide remediation recommendations to reduce MTTR. The cloud-native platform processes massive-scale network data using Kubernetes/OpenShift, microservices, AI/ML, Agentic AI and data analytics. The technology stack includes Linux, Golang, OpenTelemetry, ReactJS, ClickHouse, VictoriaMetrics, Kafka, Coral and Ginkgo/Gomega.
As a Product Security Specialist, you will be responsible for driving product security through threat modeling, secure design reviews, vulnerability management, security testing, and DevSecOps practices. The specialist will collaborate with Engineering, Architecture, Product Security Managers to identify risks, drive remediation, strengthen the product security posture, and ensure compliance with customer and industry security requirements.
How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn
Drive product security across the entire product lifecycle, including both active development and maintenance releases in production, through threat modeling, secure design reviews, risk assessments, and security-by-design practices.
Define, propose, and drive adoption of product security requirements, standards, and controls aligned with customer expectations, industry frameworks, and emerging threat landscapes.
Identify security gaps and continuously improve the product security posture by leveraging AI-powered security scanning, code analysis, vulnerability discovery, risk prioritization, and security insights. Lead vulnerability management activities, including CVE/CVSS assessment, security advisories, remediation planning, root cause analysis, and closure of security findings across released and in-development products.
Design, review, and strengthen security controls for Kubernetes, containers, APIs, IAM, and cloud-native microservices architectures, ensuring adherence to OWASP and secure coding best practices.
Integrate and automate security testing, monitoring, and compliance validation within DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, container, dependency, and configuration scanning. Collaborate with Engineering, Architecture, and Product Security teams to assess risks, prioritize mitigations, support compliance initiatives, and enhance telecom product security.
In the extended role as a Scrum Master of a SAFe agile team, you'll help the team to plan and execute in delivering the team's objectives as per the committments.
