A Global and well-known brand retail is looking for a Cybersecurity Specialist.

Responsibilities:
- Understand internal IT environments (cloud platforms, applications, networks, endpoints) and support incident analysis in collaboration with the Global SOC

- Coordinate regular web and mobile application penetration testing with Japan and U.S. teams, including remediation follow-up
- Provide security engineering input for system introductions and new application development
- Assess security risks and provide practical, engineering-focused recommendations to internal teams
- Collaborate with application teams during design reviews led by the U.S. Security Division
- Contribute to security awareness initiatives and internal education activities
Required skills:
- 5 years experience with hands-on cybersecurity engineer (wide range of experience cyber security roles including corporate security team, SOC, security engineering, with experience to incidence handling or vulnerability management or security operations)
