You will independently execute complex security assessments, coordinate assigned testing initiatives, and recommend risk-based priorities within established security standards. This hands-on role combines technical judgment, practical automation, and cross-functional influence.

Responsibilities

• Conduct threat modeling, secure design and targeted code reviews for web applications, APIs, cloud services and appliances.
• Perform manual and tool-assisted penetration testing; document reproducible findings and verify fixes.
• Coordinate external penetration-test scoping, execution, report quality review, remediation tracking and retesting.
• Validate customer-reported vulnerabilities and advise Engineering on prioritization, mitigation and closure.
• Improve SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container scanning and CI/CD security workflows with engineering partners.
• Support SBOM and software supply-chain vulnerability impact analysis.
• Assess AI-enabled product features for access-control weaknesses, prompt injection and unintended data exposure.
• Use approved AI-assisted tools for test planning, code analysis and research; independently verify outputs and protect confidential data.
• Share practical security guidance and improve repeatable assessment processes.

Must-have qualifications

• Approximately 5+ years of relevant security engineering experience with substantial hands-on AppSec or penetration testing.
• Demonstrated manual testing of web applications and APIs, including authentication and authorization issues.
• Experience with threat modeling, secure code review, vulnerability validation and remediation retesting.
• Experience coordinating third-party penetration tests and reviewing technical findings.
• Practical knowledge of OWASP guidance, security testing tools and application security controls in the SDLC.
• Ability to read code and automate tasks using a relevant programming or scripting language.
• Working knowledge of cloud services, Linux, containers or Kubernetes; effective technical communication.

Preferred qualifications

• Enterprise SaaS, hybrid-cloud or appliance security experience.
• SBOM, CycloneDX/SPDX, supply-chain security and CI/CD tooling experience.
• LLM or agentic feature testing, M&A assessments, or audit evidence preparation.
• OSCP, GWAPT, GPEN, GWEB, CSSLP or equivalent demonstrated skills.

Ideal differentiators

Independently discovered complex flaws and verified remediation; improved repeatable security workflows; balanced risk across SaaS and hybrid infrastructure; responsibly applied AI-assisted analysis with demonstrable validation.

Experience guidelines

Five or more years of relevant experience is typical, with meaningful direct responsibility for application security assessments. Equivalent demonstrated expertise is valued. A related degree or equivalent practical experience is welcome.

Success measures

90 days: establish findings, testing environment and remediation visibility. Six months: deliver risk-based internal testing and improve threat-modeling consistency. Twelve months: coordinate the annual external assessment and show measurable remediation progress.
