Application Security Engineer (Middle)

About the role

We are looking for a Middle Application Security Engineer to execute hands-on DevSecOps work across CI/CD pipeline security integration, vulnerability management tooling, and automated hardened baseline deployment within a large-scale financial services security program. You will write Python scripts to integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA gates into CI/CD pipelines, tune scanning tools to reduce false positives, and provide code-level remediation guidance to Java and Python development teams. The role requires 3–5 years of combined software engineering and AppSec experience.

What you will do

• Write and maintain the scripts necessary to integrate security gates such as SAST, DAST, and SCA into CI/CD pipelines;
• Continuously tune and configure existing security scanning tools to eliminate false positives and deliver high-confidence alerts;
• Assist in coding and deploying automated hardened baselines and secure coding patterns;
• Work directly with product development teams to provide actionable, code-level remediation guidance in Java and Python.

Must haves

• 3–5 years of commercial experience blending software engineering and DevSecOps/AppSec;
• Solid coding proficiency in Python for automation and scripting;
• Ability to comfortably read and navigate Java source code;
• Working knowledge of modern CI/CD orchestration tools;
• Practical experience interacting with vulnerability scoring frameworks;
• Ability to operate with minimal supervision on day-to-day execution and reliably complete complex scripting and integration tasks;
• Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

• Hands-on experience with CNAPP or ASPM platforms such as Wiz;
• Basic understanding of application threat modeling.
