  • Build and maintain secure development standards, playbooks, and training materials.
  • Partner with engineering teams during sprint planning and feature design to proactively address risks.
  • Conduct security reviews, code assessments, and vulnerability triage with development teams.

Cloud & DevOps Collaboration

  • Work with DevOps to ensure secure AWS infrastructure deployments and configurations.
  • Contribute to hardening efforts across ECS, IAM, networking, and supporting cloud services.
  • Assist in designing and maintaining secure CI/CD workflows.

Incident & Vulnerability Management

  • Lead or support investigation and remediation of application?level vulnerabilities.
  • Monitor, prioritize, and track findings from SAST/DAST/ASM tools.
  • Collaborate with engineering to ensure timely and effective remediation.

What We’re Looking For

Required Skills & Experience

  • 3–7+ years of experience in Application Security, Product Security, or related engineering roles.
  • Strong understanding of secure coding practices, common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), and modern SDLC.
  • Experience working with cloud?native applications, ideally in AWS.
  • Understanding of SSL certificates & cryptographic key management
  • Hands?on experience with SAST, DAST, WAFs, and/or mobile application security tools.
  • Ability to partner effectively with developers and influence secure design decisions.
  • Familiarity with GitHub?based workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

Nice to Have

  • Development experience with Ruby on Rails or similar dynamic languages.
  • Knowledge of AWS ECS/EKS, container security, secrets management and infrastructure?as?code (CloudFormation, Terraform).
  • Experience building or maturing an AppSec program from early stages.
  • SOAR Automation & Scripting experience
  • Experience working in a PCI compliant environment working with annual reporting needs

Why Join Us

  • High ownership role where you define the AppSec roadmap.
  • Modern engineering environment with strong leadership support for security.
