You will assist in troubleshooting and resolving security-related issues for applications and share timely adjustments to security configurations where required to address evolving threats or operational concerns. You will participate in POC evaluations for new web application security products, assessing their effectiveness and potential to enhance the organization's web application security posture.

At CIBC, we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you’ll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
