- Operate and tune SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, and secret-scanning tools across CI/CD pipelines.
- Drive vulnerability management workflows including triage, prioritization, owner assignment, and SLA tracking.
- Build paved-road libraries and frameworks that make secure patterns the default for engineering teams.

- Respond to security incidents involving application vulnerabilities or active exploitation.
- Track and apply emerging threats and CVEs that may affect the application portfolio.
- Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
- Five or more years of application security or security engineering experience.
- Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, common vulnerability classes, and modern exploit patterns.

- Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, and cryptographic primitives.
- Experience with cloud security and modern infrastructure controls.
- Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language for tooling and automation.
