• Experience conducting application security reviews and communicating findings.
• Experience using DAST tools to scan web applications and identify security vulnerabilities.
• Hands-on experience configuring, managing, and tuning Azure Front Door and Web Application Firewall policies.
• Experience using GitHub Advanced Security, including CodeQL, Secret Scanning, and Dependency Review.
• Experience triaging application security findings and partnering with development teams to remediate vulnerabilities.
• Experience working directly with software developers, application teams, and website owners.
• Ability to explain complex security risks and technical concepts clearly to nontechnical employees and business leaders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong collaboration, customer service, organization, and project-management skills.

Responsibilities:

• Support and monitor enterprise application security systems and tools.
• Manage daily operations for application security products, including incident and support-ticket resolution.
• Integrate SAST, DAST, and other application security tools into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
• Perform security reviews of applications, Terraform configurations, and reusable infrastructure modules.
• Validate infrastructure changes for security, compliance, and alignment with established cloud architecture standards.
• Monitor code platforms and application resources for security threats and vulnerabilities.
• Investigate security incidents and document findings.
• Respond to security-tool findings and coordinate remediation with developers, application teams, and website owners.
• Configure, manage, and tune Azure Front Door Web Application Firewall policies and rulesets.
• Maintain and upgrade application security platforms.
• Write SIEM queries and analyze the results.
• Help improve application security procedures, protocols, and technical documentation.
• Contribute to application security projects and related initiatives.

Qualifications:

• Experience working with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or OCI.
• Experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or comparable CI/CD and developer-workflow automation tools.
• Experience developing or reviewing Terraform used to deploy Azure infrastructure, including reusable modules.
• Experience with PowerShell for administration and automation.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders at all organizational levels.
• West Coast or Central time-zone candidates are preferred, although qualified candidates located in any U.S. Time zone will be considered.
