Assist in threat modeling and risk assessments for web and mobile applications.
Develop security automation scripts and tools to enhance security monitoring and testing.
Collaborate with product teams, architects, and engineers to prioritize remediation efforts and guide secure design.
Keep up to date with the latest application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and emerging threats.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
3+ years of experience in application security or DevSecOps roles.
Solid understanding of secure coding practices, software security architecture, and common vulnerabilities.
Hands-on experience with tools like Snyk, Veracode, Checkmarx, Fortify, OWASP ZAP, or Burp Suite.
Familiarity with cloud-native security (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Working knowledge of CI/CD tools and pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD).
Industry certifications such as CSSLP, GWAPT, OSWE, or GIAC GWEB are a plus.

Preferred Skills:

Programming/scripting experience (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, or Go).
Strong communication skills for engaging with developers and explaining complex vulnerabilities.
Experience working in agile and DevOps-oriented environments.
