Job Description

This role is the first dedicated Application Security hire on a growing security team and will build the AppSec function from the ground up. The focus is hands-on, practitioner-level application security with SAST and DAST at the core, strong API security fundamentals, and close partnership with developers. The environment is SaaS-heavy and AWS-native with no on-prem applications. This role embeds security directly into modern development workflows, including AI-assisted coding using tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, ensuring secure application, API, and cloud delivery at scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Own and operate the organization’s SAST and DAST programs end-to-end
  • Design, deploy, tune, and mature SAST and DAST tooling across development and release pipelines
  • Review application code, including AI-generated code, to identify vulnerabilities, insecure patterns, secrets exposure, and data handling risks
  • Partner directly with software developers to triage findings, prioritize remediation, and validate fixes
  • Act as a trusted AppSec partner to engineering, not a gatekeeper
  • Perform application and API security reviews across internally developed and SaaS-integrated systems
  • Evaluate authentication, authorization, transport security, rate limiting, session handling, logging, and data exposure risks
  • Assess externally exposed applications and APIs for secure design and release readiness
  • Support secure AWS application patterns including IAM, secrets management, logging, networking, and containerized workloads
  • Help centralize and improve secrets management using AWS Secrets Manager and enterprise tooling
  • Translate security requirements into practical, developer-friendly guidance
  • Help govern AI-assisted development by defining guardrails for acceptable use of AI coding tools
  • Review AI-enabled workflows for security risks including prompt misuse, data leakage, and insecure implementation
  • Build repeatable security review criteria and documentation aligned to NIST and SOC 2 expectations

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Application Security, Security Engineering, DevSecOps, or secure software development
  • Hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, secrets scanning, and dependency review in enterprise environments
  • Strong knowledge of API security — authentication, authorization, transport security, and data handling risks
  • Working knowledge of AWS security fundamentals — IAM, logging, encryption, networking, and secrets management
  • Experience securing or governing AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar
  • AWS fundamentals including IAM, secrets management, logging, and networking
  • Experience embedding security controls into SDLC and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong documentation skills — ability to produce defensible standards and audit-ready evidence for NIST and SOC 2
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • ability to work effectively with developers, architects, and business stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Experience with MuleSoft or SaaS integration security platforms
  • Familiarity with CrowdStrike Falcon Suite, Snyk, or Veracode
  • Microsoft / M365 security experience
  • Exposure to FINRA, SOX, or other financial services regulatory frameworks
  • DSPM familiarity

What we offer

  • medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
  • eligibility to enroll in our company 401(k) plan
