• Understanding of AI privacy and governance in developer workflows.
• Experience using and building agentic AI systems that work collaboratively.
• Experience advocating for the remediation of application security risk and, simultaneously, the associated development/engineering team(s).
• Experience in identifying vulnerabilities in source code, providing detailed steps to reproduce exploitation, and providing recommendations to engineering teams on how to remediate issues.
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent related working experience is required.
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
• Because this role supports the US government, it is required that this candidate be a US citizen who resides on US soil.

You are

• Knowledgeable of CI/CD concepts and experience with integrated SAST, SCA, and DAST tooling.
• Proficient at triaging application vulnerabilities associated with source code, open-source library dependencies, and 3rd party containers.
• Able to assess and communicate the impact of Common Vulnerability Weaknesses (CVEs) on custom application software and advise on risk acceptance/deferment for false positive scenarios, severity adjustments, and acceptable reasoning for operational requirements.
• Experienced in executing as a matrixed/embedded security resource (within a development team) responsible for product, application, or feature group vulnerability assessments, ensuring they are appropriately enumerated and executed.
• Possess a working knowledge of Python, Java, and/or JavaScript software development languages.
• Experienced in Linux and containerization in a cloud environment.
• Experienced in communicating the impact of security vulnerabilities to engineering teams and product leaders.
• Experienced in using SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling.
• Experienced in being a point of contact for outside/3rd party security assessments (pen tests, questionnaires, etc.).
• Knowledgeable of vulnerability management concepts, challenges, and reporting.
• Possess a working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and can explain its concepts to a diverse audience of engineers and people leaders.
• Familiarity with AI standards and regulations, EU AI Act, SAIF and ISO 42001.
