• Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks.
• Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

• 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.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• 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.

PERKS AND BENEFITS

• Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
