About the role
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by 👋
Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!
As a Senior Application Security Engineer, you will serve as a foundational anchor on the AppSec team, leading our strategic shift hard-left toward developer-embedded security and Secure by Design operationalization. You will design, build, and scale state-of-the-art AppSec practices while collaborating closely with Vulnerability Operations to streamline vulnerability triage and remediation. Leveraging cutting-edge AI-assisted workflows and modern automation, you will eliminate friction for developers, burn down legacy risks, and fortify software lifecycles against sophisticated, emerging threat vectors.
What you’ll be doing:
- Operationalize Secure by Design principles end-to-end, embedding seamless security controls directly into feature designs, pull requests, IaC checks, and daily engineering workflows.
- Architect high-impact feature and infrastructure threat models, validating and enhancing advanced AI-generated threat modeling pipelines.
- Configure, fine-tune, and orchestrate SAST, DAST, SCA, Secrets, and LLM scanner rulesets to eliminate false positives and streamline Vulnerability Operations.
- Build and stabilize new AppSec processes and ways of working while ensuring legacy security controls remain fully active.
- Pioneer AI-driven automation to dramatically accelerate vulnerability triage and remediation, systematically burning down security backlogs.
- Provide hands-on technical fix guidance to developers for complex structural flaws and web application vulnerabilities.
- Drive developer security enablement across the organization—championing our Security Champions program and delivering engaging, impactful secure coding workshops.
- Partner closely with Platform and Infrastructure Security teams to build frictionless, automated guardrails into CI/CD pipelines.
What you need to bring:
- Deep, hands-on experience in Application Security, Product Security, or Secure Software Engineering in high-growth cloud environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Deep understanding of web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), business logic flaws, and secure coding practices.
- Proven track record tuning SAST, DAST, SCA, Secrets, and LLM scanner pipelines in CI/CD environments.
- Demonstrated experience with threat modeling methodologies, Secure by Design principles, and guiding developers through code remediations.
- Proven experience leveraging AI/LLM tools to automate security analyses, accelerate triage, and optimize developer security workflows.
- Fluency in modern software development languages (e.g., Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java).
