Job summary

AgileEngine is a security-focused engineering firm seeking a Python Application Security Engineer to automate security controls and integrate secure coding practices into software and cloud workflows.

You will implement AI-enabled secure code scanning, automate secure coding patterns, and integrate SAST/DAST/ SCA into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, while guiding engineers with code-level remediation and threat modeling experience.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience combining software engineering experience, security implementation and/or architecture experience.
• Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python (for security automation and scripting).
• Hands-on experience or familiarity with Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or similar tools for cloud security posture management and threat detection.
• Implementation experience with deploy-time checks against Infrastructure as Code (IaC) / Terraform.
• Implementation experience with runtime checks through Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
• Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks.
• Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems.
• Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation.
• Advanced application threat modeling experience.
• Ability to confidently read, review and secure enterprise source Java code.

Responsibilities

• AppSec Engineering & Automation: Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and "Golden Images" to drive secure-from-the-start adoption.
• Technical Modernization: Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows.
• Security Tooling Integration: Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, tuning them to eliminate noise.
• Cloud & Runtime Security: Implement runtime security checks via CSPM to maintain continuous cloud visibility and threat posture management.
• Developer Experience (DevEx): Act as a senior technical SME, reading and reviewing complex application code (Java/Python) to provide software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance.
