Key Responsibilities
-
Lead or support application security assessments for internally developed, third-party, SaaS, cloud-hosted, web, mobile, and API-based applications.
-
Perform secure code reviews and provide actionable remediation guidance for common application security issues, including authentication, authorization, input validation, secrets exposure, insecure dependencies, API abuse, logging gaps, and insecure configuration.
-
Partner with development teams to implement secure coding practices throughout the SDLC, including threat modeling, design reviews, peer review standards, and release readiness checks.
-
Operate and improve application security tooling such as SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, IaC scanning, secrets detection, API security tools, and CI/CD security controls.

Secure application-side configurations, including encryption, session management, authentication flows, authorization models, logging, error handling, secure headers, CORS, API gateways, and secrets management.
-
Support cloud security control design and validation across platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, including IAM, network segmentation, workload protection, logging, storage security, key management, and policy-as-code.
-
Advise on DevSecOps practices, including secure CI/CD pipelines, branch protection, dependency governance, artifact signing, container hardening, and environment separation.
-
Coordinate with security operations teams on application-related incidents, suspicious activity, exploit attempts, and remediation validation.
-
Support vulnerability management by validating exploitability, reducing false positives, documenting compensating controls, and tracking remediation evidence.
-
Develop and maintain application security standards, secure coding guidelines, design patterns, checklists, procedures, and technical documentation.
-
Support audit and compliance activities by providing evidence for secure development, change management, access controls, logging, vulnerability remediation, and cloud security controls.
-
Mentor developers, security analysts, and IT teams on application security concepts and practical remediation techniques.
