• Build relationships with engineers. Provide actionable security feedback to developers. Lead security discussions.
• Prioritize security issues based on risk assessments.
• Own and drive security incident response.

Your experience:

• Minimum of 7 years' experience in application development or DevOps, and security engineering.
• Solid knowledge of appsec vulnerabilities and their prevention (e.g., OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25).
• Experience in security testing, including code review, SAST, DAST, and vulnerability scanning.
• Familiarity with integrating security measures throughout the software development lifecycle, including “Shift Left” security.
• Experience with SIEM, WAF, Risk Management Platforms, SAST/DAST or similar tools.
• Deep understanding of cloud security best practices, especially AWS security services and architectures.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation.
• Skilled in identifying, evaluating, prioritizing, and monitoring security vulnerabilities.
• Proven experience handling security incidents, including detection, containment, and remediation.
• Ability to communicate technical security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences and collaborate effectively across teams.
• Ability to analyze security issues, identify root causes, and recommend effective solutions.

We offer a salary range of $141,600 - $212,400 annually, based on experience, location, and other factors.
