• Work the pull requests generated by AI-augmented SAST and SCA tooling, confirm fixes hold, and coordinate regression testing with application teams.

• Support patching cycles and golden-image refreshes, and help remove unused and outdated software from server estates.

• Implement the controls and follow the runbooks, standards, and risk-based prioritization (in line with CISA guidance) set by the senior engineer and technical lead.

• Track status accurately from assignment through verified fix, and flag blockers early.
