📋 Description

• Contribute to the application security roadmap for our internal applications—prioritize risks and sequence work across codebases, application layer, and DevOps. • Consult with engineers to communicate requirements, create actionable tickets/acceptance criteria, and drive adoption. • Conduct pull request reviews focused on security, provide guidance on refactors, and approve/deny with clear rationale. • Serve as a steward for SAST/scanning: review static code scan results, triage findings, eliminate noise, and drive remediation with owners. • Build reference implementations in Django/Python (i.e. authentication patterns, input validation, secrets handling, rate limiting, geo-based access) without direct responsibility for production feature development. • Map SOC 2/NIST to engineering work: translate requirements into stories, controls, and automated evidence in CI/CD. • Threat modeling & architecture: navigate libraries/architectures and document secure patterns (ADRs/RFCs) that teams follow. • Oversee security related tasks in the Software Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC) to ensure software development activities remain in compliance. • Collaborate with software developers and code base leads. • Act as a liaison between technical requirements from the business (i.e. security, privacy, compliance) and development teams. • Participate as a subject matter expert in security architecture, including new designs and design reviews. • Recommend application security improvements based on best practices, OWASP standards and other web application security frameworks. • Review architecture and compliance-related code changes for security impact. • Ensure compliance with all company security policies and standards. • Manage and maintain all security related tickets, including recommendations, testing, and validation.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years' experience in application security experience. • Practice and implementation with Django/Python with a clear application-security focus (production experience and impact, not theory). • Engineering background (software or DevOps/SRE) with the ability to read/modify code, review PRs, and build PoCs. • Experience with GitHub security, including reviewing static code scans, triage findings, eliminate noise, and drive remediation with owners. • Experience embedding secure SDLC into Git-based workflows and CI/CD (pre-commit, pipeline gates, policy-as-code). • Practical knowledge of SOC 2 and familiarity with NIST 800-53; can turn requirements into technical tasks and evidence. • Ability to operate across code, app, and DevOps (containers, IaC basics, secrets, logging/monitoring). • Clear, persuasive communication (verbal and written) and prioritization. • Excellent time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines. • Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • Retirement plan • Medical, dental and vision insurance • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
