The role involves designing and building security technologies, defining security roadmaps, and collaborating with various teams to implement security solutions aligned with business needs.

Impact includes contributing to subject matter expertise, solving complex problems, mentoring, and executing application security tasks independently.

Minimum educational requirement: High School Diploma; preferred: Bachelor’s Degree in IT, Computer Science, or related fields. Certifications like CISSP, CCSP, CISM, CISA are advantageous.

Experience needed: 1-3 years in software development, application security, or cloud infrastructure roles, with knowledge of security standards, architectural patterns, and security tools.

Desired skills include familiarity with Agile, CI/CD, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), penetration testing tools, and secure coding practices.

This is a U.S.-based role with no visa sponsorship provided. Salary range: $84,500 - $162,500, dependent on experience and location. The role involves up to 20% travel and does not require government clearance.

We are committed to diversity and equal opportunity employment, offering comprehensive benefits tailored to employee needs.
