Job Summary:

The Sr. Application Security Engineer will play a key role in embedding security into our development and release processes. You will partner with cross-functional teams to ensure security is a foundational part of software design, development, and deployment, promoting secure coding practices, shift-left methodologies, and the secure adoption of API-driven and AI-enabled technologies.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

Secure Development Lifecycle:
Collaborate with development teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from design through deployment. Support the adoption of secure coding standards and best practices across teams.

CI/CD Pipeline Security:
Implement security controls within CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated security testing and vulnerability detection. Partner with release management to ensure secure deployment checks and policy compliance, including operationalizing SAST, SCA, and DAST.

Shift-Left Security:
Drive shift-left initiatives by providing guidance, tooling, and remediation support to engineers, enabling secure development from the outset.

Threat Modeling:
Lead threat modeling sessions with development teams to identify and mitigate security risks early in the design and architecture phases.

Vulnerability Management:
Analyze and validate remediation of application security findings from SAST, SCA, DAST, API testing, and manual assessments. Work with teams to prioritize fixes and ensure proper testing before release.

Application Security (SCA, SAST, DAST):
Design, implement, and maintain application security testing programs. Reduce false positives and provide clear, actionable remediation guidance to development teams.

API Security:
Partner with engineering teams to ensure secure API design and implementation. Identify and mitigate API-specific risks, including authentication and authorization issues, data exposure, rate limiting gaps, and OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities.

AI Security (Guardrails, MCP Security):
Support secure AI adoption by defining AI security guardrails. Address risks such as prompt injection, insecure model usage, data leakage, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) security concerns.

Security Training:
Deliver guidance on secure coding practices, application, API, and AI security threats, and remediation techniques. Provide hands-on support during code reviews.

Collaboration & Release Management:
Partner with DevOps, QA, Engineering, Product, and Release Management teams to integrate security requirements and checks throughout development and release processes.

Continuous Improvement:
Stay current on emerging application, API, and AI security threats. Continuously improve security processes, tooling, and overall application security posture.
