Job description

Job Title: Application Security Engineer
Location: Remote
Contract: 3-Month Contract

This is a 3-Month, fully remote contract role supporting a focused application security remediation initiative. This role is intended to address an existing backlog of application security work the current team does not have the capacity to complete. This is solely a 3-month engagement and will likely not extend or convert to a full-time position.

Interview Process (1 panel interview)

Video panel interview with the Hiring Manager and technical team members (technical/behavioral)

Top technical requirements include:

• 3+ years of hands-on application security experience; general cybersecurity alone will not be sufficient, as the hiring manager is specifically targeting individuals with application security experience specifically
• Experience investigating and remediating security findings involving hard-coded credentials/secrets within source code repositories
• Strong scripting/automation experience with PowerShell, Bash and/or Python; experience with at least two of these is a requirement
• Strong Git/GitHub knowledge and experience working with engineering teams on remediation projects

Top soft skill requirements include:

• Ability to work effectively across multiple teams and personalities within a large engineering organization
• Comfortable engaging directly with internal software engineering stakeholders to drive findings through resolution
• Strong follow-through and ability to work independently manage work within a short, project-based engagement

Additional Role Details:

• Fully remote; candidates must reside within PST, MST, CST, or EST time zones
• Healthcare/RCM experience is not required, but would be a differentiator (industry agnostic is okay)
