• Operate and improve application security tooling such as SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, IaC scanning, secrets detection, API security tools, and CI/CD security controls.
• Review application architecture, data flows, cloud deployment patterns, and integration designs to identify security risks before production deployment.
• Translate vulnerability findings into prioritized, risk‑based remediation plans and work with application owners, developers, DevOps, and product teams to drive closure.
• Secure application‑side configurations, including encryption, session management, authentication flows, authorization models, logging, error handling, secure headers, CORS, API gateways, and secrets management.
• Support cloud security control design and validation across platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, including IAM, network segmentation, workload protection, logging, storage security, key management, and policy‑as‑code.
• Advise on DevSecOps practices, including secure CI/CD pipelines, branch protection, dependency governance, artifact signing, container hardening, and environment separation.
• Coordinate with security operations teams on application‑related incidents, suspicious activity, exploit attempts, and remediation validation.
• Support vulnerability management by validating exploitability, reducing false positives, documenting compensating controls, and tracking remediation evidence.
• Develop and maintain application security standards, secure coding guidelines, design patterns, checklists, procedures, and technical documentation.
• Support audit and compliance activities by providing evidence for secure development, change management, access controls, logging, vulnerability remediation, and cloud security controls.
• Mentor developers, security analysts, and IT teams on application security concepts and practical remediation techniques.
