WHY JOIN US If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you! ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to modernize vulnerability management at scale within a highly regulated financial services environment. You will govern and analyze large vulnerability datasets from tools including Wiz, Checkmarx, and Snyk, build automated triage and remediation workflows using Python and AI-assisted agents, and embed security intelligence directly into CI/CD pipelines. The role requires deep AppSec tooling expertise, risk-based prioritization using CVSS and EPSS, and the ability to provide code-level remediation guidance to Java development teams. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Structure, analyze, and govern the massive output of vulnerability data from across the enterprise portfolio, ensuring it is highly contextualized and ready for consumption by developers and automated systems; - Triage and prioritize vulnerabilities utilizing data-driven scoring models (CVSS, EPSS) combined with contextual business and infrastructure risk; - Continuously tune security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and data pipelines to eliminate noise and false positives, delivering only high-confidence alerts; - Develop AI-assisted runbooks, custom scripts, and intelligent agent workflows to automate the triage and remediation of high-frequency vulnerabilities; - Partner with platform teams to transform manual security review processes into automated, frictionless governance gates embedded directly within the CI/CD pipeline; - Work directly with software engineers in their native tech stack (Java, Python) to provide specific, code-level remediation guidance, focusing on minimizing developer friction; - Conduct application threat modeling and architecture reviews for new features within critical applications; - Act as a DevSecOps evangelist, actively bridging the gap between stringent security mandates and Agile delivery velocity. MUST HAVES - 5+ years of experience in application security, software engineering, or DevSecOps, with at least 2+ years operating within highly regulated enterprise environments (Finance, Healthcare, Defense); - Proven ability to manage, analyze, and automate large datasets of security vulnerabilities to build intelligent governance and reporting metrics; - Deep, hands-on expertise deploying, tuning, and consuming APIs from modern application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Checkmarx, SonarQube, Snyk); - Strong proficiency in Python (or Go) to build custom scripts, automate vulnerability data triage, and manipulate API data from security tooling; - High proficiency in reading and reviewing enterprise application code, specifically Java; - Advanced knowledge of vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS, EPSS) and industry-standard security frameworks (OWASP Top 10, CWE); - Practical experience integrating automated security gates into modern CI/CD orchestration tools; - Upper-intermediate English level. NICE TO HAVES - Experience utilizing LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging, data classification, or remediation code generation; - Prior experience managing vulnerabilities subject to strict financial compliance standards (PCI-DSS, SOC2, NYDFS); - Industry-recognized application security certifications (e.g., CSSLP, GWAPT, GWEB, CISSP, or CEH); - Strong familiarity operating within Agile/Scrum delivery models and utilizing Jira for automated backlog management.
