Partner with developers to provide code-level or design-level remediation guidance and verify closure.
Build or improve CI/CD security controls, scanning integrations, secure coding standards, and developer enablement.
Use risk, exploitability, asset criticality, and business context to prioritize application vulnerabilities and security debt.
Analyze recurring defect patterns and drive preventive control improvements across engineering teams.
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with application security testing, secure code review, and vulnerability validation.
- Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10/API risks, authentication/authorization patterns, session management, cryptography fundamentals, input validation, and common web/application attack techniques.

- Understanding of modern software architectures, REST/GraphQL APIs, containers, cloud services, and software supply-chain dependencies.
- Ability to engage developers at a technical level and provide actionable remediation guidance.
- Applied secure SDLC, threat modeling, architecture review, risk-based exception, and application-risk prioritization experience.
- Ability to translate exploitability into business impact and risk treatment decisions.
- Understanding of security-control objectives for application development and deployment.
