Roles and Responsibilities:
-
Embed security into development: Collaborate closely with engineering teams to embed security throughout the SDLC—from architectural design and code implementation to CI/CD pipelines and peer reviews—ensuring security is an integral part of how software is built and shipped. Conduct thorough pull request reviews with security focus and contribute to secure coding practices through hands-on development experience.
-
Find and fix vulnerabilities: Use both automated and manual approaches to identify risks including static and dynamic analysis (SAST/DAST) manual code reviews and penetration testing of web and mobile applications. Implement AI-powered vulnerability discovery and intelligent prioritization systems to enhance detection capabilities.
-
Automate security checks: Integrate a robust set of security practices into the CI/CD workflow—covering Software Composition Analysis (SCA) secret detection Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning container/image scanning and dependency monitoring—to address issues early and continuously. Design and implement advanced automation workflows using modern development practices and AI/ML frameworks.

Proven ability to embed security into CI/CD workflows and code reviews in collaboration with engineering teams.
-
Deep understanding of cybersecurity standards frameworks and threat landscape with ability to apply this knowledge to guide security program development.
-
Hands-on experience with SAST/DAST tools (e.g. Checkmarx CodeQL Fortify Burp Suite ZAP) and manual code reviews and pen testing including AI-powered security analysis tools.
-
Experience automating security checks using SCA tools (Nexus Snyk Mend Black Duck Artifactory) secrets scanners (TruffleHog GitGuardian) IaC scanners (Checkov tfsec Bridgecrew) and container/image scanning (Grype Aqua Prisma Cloud)— or similar with ability to build custom automation and integrate AI/ML capabilities.
-
Familiarity with integrating security into pipelines using GitHub Actions GitLab CI Jenkins CircleCI or equivalent with DevSecOps expertise and modern development practices.
-
Knowledge of security telemetry and runtime monitoring tools (e.g. Wiz Lacework Falco Datadog New Relic) for detecting and responding to threats in production.
-
Skilled in architecture reviews and threat modeling (e.g. STRIDE PASTA) with the ability to guide secure design decisions.
-
Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10 CWE and secure coding standards; experience delivering developer training and hands-on guidance.
-
Able to support incident response efforts and contribute to remediation root cause analysis and hardening.
