Principal Consultant - Cybersecurity

Role: Principal Consultant - Cybersecurity Location: Toronto, ON (4 days onsite/week) Fulltime Must-have: 10+ years hands-on experience across software engineering, offensive security, and defensive security at a principal engineer level, with demonstrated personal contributions to production codebases and published vulnerability research or penetration testing engagements. Advanced technical proficiency in multiple programming language (Java, C#, C, C++, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET, Go) with proven ability to personally write, review, and remediate production code. Deep fluency in vulnerability classes including memory safety, injection authentication and authorization flaws, cryptographic misuse, deserialization, race conditions, and supply chain attacks, with hands-on experience finding and exploiting each. Extensive hands-on experience with penetration testing, red teaming, exploit development, reverse engineering, and secure code review against OWASP Top 10 and SANS 25, combined with defensive engineering experience building detection and remediation capabilities. Extensive hands-on experience with application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA), including tuning, false positive analysis, exemption workflow design, and enterprise vulnerability management at scale. Deep technical fluency with agentic AI coding tools and frameworks (Claude, Devin, Copilot, Windsurf, Cursor, MCP_, including prompt engineering, agent orchestration, reusable skill and tool design, guardrail design, and evaluation. Strong architectural knowledge of modern CI.CD, container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud-native deployment patterns, and integration of security automation into developer workflows.
