Please read below for a brilliant career opportunity.

• Hands-on AI Implementation: Integrating LLM workflows to parse vulnerability outputs, handle prompt deployment for code changes, and automate patch PR generation.
• Programming: Strong, fluent Python development for building utility scanners, automating API calls, and writing orchestration scripts; Bash scripting for CI/CD pipelines.
• Source & Artifact Systems: Hands-on integration with GitHub (Actions, Advanced Security, PR workflows) and JFrog Artifactory/Xray across diverse repositories.
• Scanning & Triage Tools: Deep familiarity running and configuring Snyk, Xray, CodeQL, Dependabot, Trivy, or Semgrep; practical understanding of CVE/CVSS scoring and EOL data (e.g., endoflife.date).
• CI/CD & Containerization: Building and maintaining pipelines in GitHub Actions or Jenkins; utilizing Docker to spin up isolated environments for patch validation; scheduling via cron or Airflow.
• Data & Analytics: Structuring raw security findings (JSON/SQL) into data pipelines to power operational dashboards and compliance tracking.

Experience & Requirements

• Total Experience: 5 to 8 years of software engineering or automation experience.
• Domain Focus: At least 3 years of demonstrated hands-on delivery using Python, GitHub, Artifactory/Xray, CI/CD, vulnerability scanning, testing, and security dashboard technologies.
• Implement, maintain, and run the agentic workflows that interpret security scans, generate patch PRs, and test code fixes.
• Finetune and test prompts for code-editing agents to minimize code regression and ensure accurate patches.
• Configure and maintain isolated test environments using Docker to safely execute auto-generated patches.

Tooling Configuration & Vulnerability Tracking

• Manage daily integrations and run scans using Snyk, Xray, CodeQL, Dependabot, Trivy, or Semgrep across multiple language repositories.
• Parse CVE data and track EOL-detection sources to prioritize outstanding high-risk liabilities.
• Build and maintain clean JSON/SQL data pipelines to keep monitoring and coverage dashboards accurate and up to date.

Operational Support & Communication

• Draft clear, actionable status updates detailing exact scan coverage and outstanding critical items across teams.
• Provide clean metrics around Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) and fix-rate trends for team leads.
• Collaborate closely with QA and application teams to validate that automated regression testing is running cleanly before any auto-merging happens.
• Healthcare insurance for you and your family (medical, dental, vision).
• Short / Long term disability insurance.
• Life Insurance.
• Accidental death & disability Insurance.
• 401K.
• 3 weeks of Paid Time Off.
