- Implementation experience with deploy-time checks against Infrastructure as Code (IaC) / Terraform.
- Implementation experience with runtime checks through Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
- Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems.
- Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation.
- Advanced application threat modeling experience.
- Ability to confidently read, review and secure enterprise source Java code.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- AppSec Engineering & Automation: Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and "Golden Images" to drive secure-from-the-start adoption.
- Technical Modernization: Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows.
- Security Tooling Integration: Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, tuning them to eliminate noise.
- Cloud & Runtime Security: Implement runtime security checks via CSPM to maintain continuous cloud visibility and threat posture management.
- Developer Experience (DevEx): Act as a senior technical SME, reading and reviewing complex application code (Java/Python) to provide software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
