About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to architect and build automated security layers within the SDLC, engineering AI-enabled secure code scanning, hardened baseline automation, and CI/CD security tooling integration within a large-scale financial services program. You will work primarily in Python to build automated security runbooks, deploy and tune scanning tools, and provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams — operating with full autonomy and no daily supervision.

App Sec and Dev Sec Ops  experience is strongly preferred; SAST/DAST/SCA and Java expertise are a plus.

What you will do:

• Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and "Golden Images" to drive secure-from-the-start adoption;
• Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows;
• Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, tuning them to eliminate noise;
• Act as a senior technical SME, reading and reviewing complex application code (Java/Python) to provide software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance.

Must haves:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on Application Security and Dev Sec Ops ;
• Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python for security automation and scripting;
• Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks;
• Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves:

• Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools, including SAST, DAST, and SCA, and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems;
• Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation;
• Advanced application threat modeling experience;
• Ability to confidently read, review, and secure enterprise source Java code.

Perks and benefits:

• Professional growth:
  Mentorship, Tech Talks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects:
  Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
• Flextime:
  Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
