## About the Role

* 3-5 years of dedicated Application Security experience in a SaaS or cloud-native environment.
 * Hands-on proficiency with at least two of the following: SAST, DAST, SCA, or CSPM tooling (e.g., Snyk, Checkmarx, Semgrep, Wiz).
 * Strong working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and the ability to write and maintain pipeline integrations.
 * Experience with container security (Docker, Kubernetes) and API security patterns (REST, GraphQL).
 * Demonstrated ability to communicate technical risk to non-security engineers in a way that drives action, not anxiety.

Nice-to-haves

 * Experience standing up or maturing a Security Champions program.
 * Familiarity with cloud-native AWS security services (GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM Access Analyzer).
 * Exposure to threat modeling frameworks (STRIDE, PASTA, or lightweight equivalents).

## Description

* Own the end-to-end vulnerability management lifecycle: triage, prioritize, and drive remediation of findings from SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling in partnership with engineering squads.
 * Maintain, optimize, and extend security tooling integrations within the CI/CD pipeline with the goal of automating everything that can be automated.
 * Launch and run a Security Champions program, including workshops and office hours, to embed security knowledge directly into development teams across multiple geographies.
 * Act as the application-layer subject matter expert during security incidents, supporting triage, root cause analysis, and remediation.
 * Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to introduce security touchpoints earlier in the SDLC, including threat modeling and design review processes.
