DevSecOps Engineer

DevSecOps Engineer

We are looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to join our Information Security team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between Security and Engineering, ensuring our SaaS payment platform remains secure by design without sacrificing development velocity or innovation speed.

Reporting directly to the Head of Information Security, you will serve as a trusted technical partner to our engineering teams. You will own application security guardrails and tooling (SAST/SCA), lead targeted internal web application penetration testing for high-risk releases, manage edge security controls (Cloudflare WAF), and collaborate closely with our Tech Debt and Platform teams to systematically triage and remediate vulnerabilities.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

1. Application Security, Tooling & Guardrails

• Maintain, tune, and optimize static analysis (Sonar) and software supply chain scanning tools (NPM/PyPI scanners) to eliminate noise, build developer trust, and enforce actionable quality gates.
• Embed automated security checks seamlessly into GitHub Actions / GitLab CI pipelines, minimizing build latency while catching vulnerabilities prior to production release.
• Proactively triage zero-day package dependencies and software supply chain risks, establishing clear, prioritized remediation paths for engineering teams.

2. Internal Web Application Penetration Testing & Risk Assessments

• Perform hands-on manual penetration testing and security assessments on high-risk feature releases, APIs, and web application workflows.
• Evaluate complex business logic, authentication flows, and authorization boundaries for flaws that automated scanners miss.
• Produce clear, reproducible Proof-of-Concept (PoC) demonstrations to help developers understand vulnerability impact and guide effective fixes.

3. Edge & Infrastructure Security Alignment

• Audit codebases for exposed credentials/secrets and assist in vault workflows. Support the rollout of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) scanning as the security program expands.

4. Vulnerability Governance & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner directly with the Tech Debt and Platform Engineering teams on a monthly cadence to review, prioritize, and burn down security vulnerabilities according to SLA targets.
• Translate scanner outputs and pen test findings into actionable tickets complete with reproduction steps, context, and clear fix recommendations.
• Track and report key performance metrics—such as Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR), scan coverage, and open high/critical risks—for joint Security and Engineering reviews.

5. Threat Monitoring & External Security

• Act as the primary technical escalation point for dependency alerts, exposed credentials, and edge anomaly detections.
• Review, validate, and triage externally submitted security reports before passing verified findings to engineering.

What We're Looking For (Qualifications)

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in Application Security, Security Engineering, or Penetration Testing within a modern SaaS or cloud environment.
• Demonstrated expertise in manual web application penetration testing, API security assessments, and using security tools.
• Hands-on experience configuring and tuning SAST, SCA, or DAST tools.
• Strong understanding of web security concepts (OWASP Top 10, modern authentication protocols like OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, CORS, CSP).
• Experience with edge WAF management and integrating security checks into automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong communication skills with an ability to act as a partner—not a blocker—to software developers and engineering leadership.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., OSCP, GWAPT, eWPT, CISSP, Azure Security Engineer Associate).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and container security (Docker, Kubernetes).

Our Values

• Need for Speed: Consistently curious and proactive, we outrun competitors and get there first.
• Trust & Transparency: Direct and honest communication creates trust, sustains speed, and fosters creative ideas.
• Industry Aces: We're the customer's most trusted guide, caring about their problems as if they were our own.
• Optimistic Grit: Plan to work and work the plan consistently, with an openness to change that fosters growth.
• No Ego, Amigo: We work better when we humbly work together, across departments, roles, and titles.
