## Description

Our client is seeking experienced, hands-on engineers to help build and scale enterprise code scanning and application security capabilities across modern cloud-native environments.
This role focuses on developing automated vulnerability detection, secure development tooling, and developer enablement solutions that improve software security while accelerating delivery.
The ideal candidate is a builder who enjoys writing production-quality code, solving complex engineering challenges, and creating scalable platforms that help development teams identify and remediate vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle.
This is not a traditional security compliance or advisory role. We are looking for engineers with strong software development backgrounds who can build, automate, troubleshoot, and productionize security solutions at scale.
Responsibilities

 + Build and enhance automated code scanning and vulnerability detection capabilities
 + Develop integrations between security tools, CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms, APIs, and enterprise applications
 + Create reusable security engineering solutions that support application modernization initiatives
 + Enable secure development across applications, APIs, data services, and AI-enabled solutions
 + Implement automation that reduces manual security reviews and operational overhead
 + Partner with engineering teams to improve security earlier in the SDLC
 + Evaluate, validate, and productionize AI-assisted development practices
 + Troubleshoot complex issues across development, deployment, and runtime environments
 + Analyze technical tradeoffs and recommend scalable engineering solutions
 + Contribute hands-on code while helping drive enterprise security modernization efforts
