This role focuses on reducing risk through automation, continuous testing, secure configuration, and practical guidance that enables teams to ship software quickly and safely. The ideal candidate possesses a strong understanding of application security principles, secure coding practices, cloud security controls, vulnerability management, and modern Dev Sec Ops  methodologies.

The Details:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Integrate security controls and automated checks into CI/CD pipelines, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), secret scanning, container security scanning, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) validation.
• Partner with developers and platform engineers to identify, prioritize, and remediate application, API, container, and cloud security risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Perform application security assessments, architecture reviews, and threat modeling exercises for new and existing applications.
• Support vulnerability management by validating findings, reducing false positives, tracking remediation, and helping define risk-based service-level expectations.
• Conduct secure code reviews and provide guidance on secure coding practices aligned with OWASP Top 10, CWE, and industry standards.
• Perform security reviews for application architecture, deployment patterns, third-party components, and cloud configurations.
• Develop and maintain secure pipeline standards, reusable guardrails, and policy-as-code checks that improve consistency without creating unnecessary delivery friction.
• Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and security operations teams on incident response, root cause analysis, and hardening activities related to software delivery platforms.
• Create and maintain documentation, standards, playbooks, and training materials related to application security, secure development, and Dev Sec Ops  practices.
