Job summary

Pixel Chain is seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer in Dubai to weave security into the SDLC from design through deployment. You will run threat models, automate SAST/DAST/IAc, and fortify CI/CD pipelines across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

Join a fast-growing software and digital solutions company serving FinTech, Gaming, and Marketing clients worldwide. You’ll mentor teams, drive secure-by-default architectures, and support audits and compliance initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in Application Security, Security Engineering, DevSecOps, or Cloud Security.
• Hands-on experience securing web apps, REST APIs, containers, and cloud-native workloads.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and at least one major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Comfortable running SAST, DAST, SCA, and IaC scans as part of a vulnerability management program.
• Experience embedding security into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps).
• Solid grounding in secure SDLC principles and threat modeling.

Responsibilities

• Weave security into the SDLC from design through deployment, running threat models and risk assessments before code ships.
• Automate security testing across the pipeline — SAST, DAST, SCA, and IaC scanning — to catch issues early.
• Harden Kubernetes and Docker environments with RBAC, network policies, and least-privilege access controls.
• Build and maintain security guardrails inside CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket).
• Secure cloud workloads across Azure, AWS, and GCP, and strengthen IAM, MFA, and RBAC practices.
• Investigate security alerts, drive root-cause analysis, and support incident response end-to-end.
• Partner with engineering, DevOps, and QA to remediate vulnerabilities and design secure-by-default systems.
• Strengthen software supply-chain security through SBOMs, dependency scanning, and secret detection.
• Support audits and help maintain compliance with frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CIS Benchmarks.
• Run secure-coding sessions and security awareness training for development teams.
