Security Engineer - Game Security & Platform Protection

Seeking a Security Engineer to join our Information Security team. This role focuses on securing the client, backend, and content distribution layers of our games, with a strong emphasis on game integrity, asset protection, and secure platform engineering.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role for someone who can operate across game engines, backend systems, and cloud infrastructure, and who can build scalable security solutions embedded directly into development pipelines.

What You Will Do

  • Secure Game Clients & Content Pipelines
  • Lead initiatives to harden asset bundles and content delivery pipelines
  • Design and implement:
    • Signed asset manifests and validation mechanisms
    • Integrity verification for downloaded content
    • Secure bundle loading controls and trusted source enforcement
    • Expiration and validation of CDN-delivered metadata
    • Identify and eliminate risks such as:
    • Leaked internal endpoints
    • Exposure of hidden or test features
    • Reverse-engineering vectors via client assets
  • Evolve Game Integrity & Signature Systems
    • Redesign and strengthen signature and secret management models
    • Drive:
    • Per-game and per-platform secret isolation
    • Secure key storage and rotation strategies
    • Backward-compatible signature evolution
    • Reduce systemic risk from shared cryptographic implementations
  • Strengthen Third-Party SDK Security
    • Build and maintain a governance model for third-party SDKs
    • Lead:
    • SDK inventory and permission analysis
    • Removal of unused or high-risk integrations
    • Security review and approval workflows for new SDKs
    • Monitoring of vulnerabilities and version drift
    • Partner with engineering teams to sandbox or isolate high-risk SDKs
  • Embed Security into Game Development
    • Work directly with game teams (Unity and backend) to:
    • Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines (Bamboo, GitHub Actions)
    • Automate scanning, validation, and enforcement
    • Improve secure coding practices across client and server codebases
    • Support development across:
    • Unity (client)
    • ASP.NET Core backends
    • React and Angular frontends
  • Build Secure Cloud-Native Systems
    • Design and implement security controls across AWS environments, including:
    • IAM and access control models
    • Containerized workloads (ECS, EKS, ECR)
    • EC2-based services and supporting infrastructure
    • Partner with platform teams to secure:
    • Deployment pipelines
    • Runtime environments
    • Secrets and configuration management (SSM, SCPs)
  • Automate Security at Scale
    • Build tools and automation using Python, C#, and Bash
    • Develop infrastructure-as-code security patterns using:
    • Terraform, CDK, and CloudFormation
    • Configuration management tools such as Ansible
    • Integrate security into artifact management (JFrog) and developer workflows
  • Act as a Technical Leader
    • Partner with studios to align security efforts with game roadmaps and business priorities
    • Provide expert guidance on client-side threats, reverse engineering, and exploitation
    • Influence engineering teams to adopt scalable, low-friction security solutions
    • Raise the bar for pragmatic, engineering-driven security practices
