🚀 The Opportunity:

We are looking to hire an eager and skilful Application Security Engineer. This individual will support our Security Team in providing security support for our development houses and ensure the privacy and security of confidential business and personal information.

Key Responsibilities:

• Security Design & Architecture:

Draft security requirements for systems, services, or integrations. Conduct secure design, threat modeling, and secure architecture initiatives.

• Engineering Collaboration:

Collaborate frequently with different engineering teams to identify and address security issues. Attend engineering syncs to ensure that product features have security "built-in."

Perform technical tasks on change and integration reviews, including full security reviews from source code auditing to live application testing.

Provide hands-on remediation guidance to development teams and perform technical lead tasks with other team members.

• Experience:

4+ years in App Sec. Proven experience performing web application penetration tests and vulnerability research. Skills in source code auditing, product assessments, and development of security tools are essential.

• Security Mindset:

A "breaker" mentality, with the ability to think like an attacker to identify flaws, but effectively crafting the mitigating controls to fix them.

• Technical Proficiencies:

• Proficiency in Ruby on Rails, Java, and modern web dev (JavaScript, Python, Node.js, etc.).

• Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10 (XSS, CSRF, SQLi, Cookie Manipulation, etc.).

• Experience with SAST/DAST/SCA tools and integrating them into Dev Sec Ops pipelines.

• Ability to implement security guardrails for AI-driven features and validate model integrity (nice to have).

• Compliance & Audits:

Knowledge of security audit certifications like PCI-DSS, SOC 1, and SOC 2.

• Soft Skills:

Ability to explain complex technical findings (from pentests or reviews) to both technical and non-technical audiences with empathy and clear communication.
