About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to architect and build automated security layers within the SDLC, engineering AI-enabled secure code scanning, hardened baseline automation, and CI/CD security tooling integration within a large-scale financial services program. You will work primarily in Python to build automated security runbooks, deploy and tune scanning tools, and provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams — operating with full autonomy and no daily supervision.
Responsibilities
- Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and “Golden Images” to drive secure-from-the-start adoption
- Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows
- Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, tuning them to eliminate noise
- Act as a senior technical SME, reading and reviewing complex application code (Java/Python) to provide software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance
Requirements
- Authorized to work for ANY employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD)
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on Application Security and DevSecOps
- Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python for security automation and scripting
- Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks
- Upper-intermediate English level
- Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools, including SAST, DAST, and SCA, and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems
- Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation
- Advanced application threat modeling experience
- Ability to confidently read, review, and secure enterprise source Java code
