Perform deep-dive, security-focused code reviews and mentor developers on secure coding patterns to minimize the introduction of high-impact vulnerabilities. Architect and manage the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle, developing sophisticated automation for the triage, reporting, and remediation tracking of security flaws across cloud infrastructure and application layers. Orchestrate and optimize AI-driven security workflows, leveraging LLMs and autonomous agents to conduct scaleable, proactive vulnerability discovery and validation within our CI/CD pipelines. Lead "Shift-Left" initiatives by integrating security checkpoints into the automation stack, developing custom security-as-code tools that empower developers to own security outcomes. Oversee the strategic direction of our private and public bug-bounty programs, ensuring high-quality engagement with the researcher community and rapid internal response to critical findings. Coordinate specialized external penetration testing engagements and customer-driven security assessments, acting as the primary technical point of contact for complex security inquiries. Drive the technical response to application-level security incidents, conducting root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence and enhance our defensive posture. What you'll need : 3+ years of professional experience in Application Security Operations within a high-growth SaaS or cloud-native environment. Advanced proficiency in securing modern technical stacks, with specific expertise in NestJS, Vue.js, and Angular frameworks. Hands-on experience with enterprise security tooling, including Snyk, Datadog ASM/AppSec (WAF), Google SecOps, and Crowdstrike.
