·         Architect, build, and maintain security tooling and integrations (SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST) to enable secure development workflows.

·         Collaborate with Engineering, DevOps, and Platform teams to implement scalable security controls via Infrastructure-as-Code and secure CI/CD pipelines.

·         Design and deploy automated security testing frameworks to detect vulnerabilities early.

·         Respond to application-level security incidents, performing analysis and improving response processes.

·         Mentor junior engineers on secure coding practices, security architecture, and tooling integrations.

·         Evaluate and enhance application security tooling across commercial and open-source platforms, focusing on efficiency and coverage.

·         Define, track, and report on security posture metrics to monitor coverage, trends, and improvements.

Requirements

·         Proven experience in application security engineering roles, particularly in cloud-native or modern software environments.

·         Hands-on experience with security testing tools such as SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST, and security automation in CI/CD pipelines.

·         Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript, with proficiency in Git, Linux, and modern development frameworks.

·         Deep expertise in web application security, including OWASP Top 10, authentication/authorization, cryptography, and secure API design.

·         Experience with threat modeling frameworks (STRIDE, PASTA, LINDDUN) and security architecture review processes.

·         Ability to investigate application logs, trace security events, and contribute to incident response workflows.

·         Excellent collaboration and cross-functional influence skills, working effectively with engineering, DevOps, and product teams.

·         Strong written communication and documentation skills to convey complex security concepts clearly.

·         Experience securing microservices, containers, and cloud-native application architectures.

Benefits

·         Base salary range: $144,500—$170,000 USD, with individual packages based on skills and experience.

·         Eligibility for bonuses and restricted stock units (RSUs).

·         Competitive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
