Job summary

Jora Malaysia is seeking a senior software engineer with 5+ years of fullstack experience to read, patch, and secure production code across the stack. You will work on backend and frontend, ensuring robust defenses against vulnerabilities and security issues.

Role requires practical OWASP Top 10 knowledge, ability to act on vulnerability and bug bounty reports, and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and containerized environments.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering with fullstack skills across backend and frontend.
• Solid understanding of web/API vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10) and fixes.
• Able to work from vulnerability/bounty reports to root-cause and fix issues.

• Experience with bug bounty programs and triaging external submissions is a bonus.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized environments is a bonus.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end remediation of vulnerabilities from Web, API, Bug Bounty submissions and external tests.
• Write and ship code fixes for vulnerabilities directly in codebases (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket).
• Triage findings from security tools to prioritize based on risk and exploitability.
• Work with development teams to remediate findings requiring architecture changes.
• Maintain sprint-based remediation tracking and burn-down reporting.
• Fix vulnerabilities surfaced by CI/CD tooling to keep the pipeline green.

Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

5+ years of software engineering experience with strong fullstack skills — backend (Node.js/Go/Python/.NET/PHP/Rust/Ruby/Java or equivalent) and frontend (React/Vue/Angular/SolidJS or equivalent) — enough to confidently read, debug, and patch real production code across the stack, not just review it.

Solid, practical understanding of web and API vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10) and how to actually fix them in code, not just describe them.

Comfortable working directly from vulnerability scan reports, pentest reports, and bug bounty submissions to root-cause and fix issues.

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and experience resolving findings from embedded SAST/SCA/DAST tooling as part of the development workflow.

Experience working with bug bounty programs and triaging external researcher submissions is a bonus.

Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized application environments is a bonus.

Responsibility

Vulnerability Remediation:

• Own end-to-end remediation of vulnerabilities identified through Web, API, Bug Bounty submissions, and external penetration tests.
• Write and ship code-level fixes for application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, authentication flaws, injection, SSRF, insecure deserialization) directly in relevant codebases (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket).
• Triage findings from Security tools (SAST/SCA/Secrets/DAST) to validate true positives and prioritize based on exploitability and business risk.
• Work with development teams to remediate findings that require broader application or architecture changes, providing secure coding guidance and reviewing fixes before closure.
• Maintain sprint-based remediation tracking and burn-down reporting for vulnerability backlogs.
• Fix vulnerabilities surfaced by security tooling embedded in our CI/CD pipelines as part of the regular development workflow — keeping the pipeline "green" without bypassing or ignoring findings.
• Build lightweight internal tooling/scripts to help automate triage, tracking, or reporting of vulnerability and posture data where useful (e.g., feeding dashboards, Jira, or a reporting tool).
