About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Application Security Consultant to conduct a comprehensive security review of a web-based application. This is a non-invasive, review-only assignment — no remediation or code modifications are required.

You’ll work independently to assess application code and related configurations, identify any security vulnerabilities, and deliver a detailed, evidence-based security audit report.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform static code analysis and security audit of a web application.
• Identify potential vulnerabilities in logic, data handling, authentication, and access control.
• Assess the application against OWASP Top 10 and other secure coding standards.
• Review third-party dependencies for known issues.
• Produce a professional security report with risk ratings, findings, and recommendations.

Required Skills & Experience

• 4+ years in Application Security, AppSec consulting, or Secure Code Review roles.
• Familiarity with tools like Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, or Burp Suite (passive scanning).
• Knowledge of OWASP, CWE, and general secure software development principles.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.
• Preferred certifications: OSCP, CSSLP, GWAPT, CEH, or equivalent.
• Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders.
• Technical breakdown of findings with severity and impact.
• Recommended mitigation guidance (no implementation expected).

Why Join Us?

• Remote flexibility
• No remediation work — fully focused on review and advisory
• A project with high visibility and real-world impact
• Prompt onboarding and structured communication
