This person will partner closely with engineering teams to configure, maintain, and optimize application security tools within CI/CD pipelines, ensuring secure code practices are embedded across the organization. The role is focused on hands-on application security engineering, including static and dynamic code analysis, vulnerability triage, and continuous improvement of security tooling and automation. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge initiatives, including AI-driven application security capabilities, within a centralized and high-impact security function.

- Maintain and enhance internal Java-based automation tools supporting security processes
- Support infrastructure components across cloud, on-prem, and containerized (Docker) environments
Must Have Skills:- 5+ years of hands-on Application Security (AppSec) experience focused on SAST, SCA (open-source risk), and vulnerability detection at the code level
- Strong experience integrating and managing security tools within CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins required)

- 2+ years of experience working with Java-based applications, automation, or development environments
- Working knowledge of cloud and/or containerization technologies (Docker) supporting security tooling environments
- Strong understanding of how vulnerabilities are identified within application code and secure SDLC practices
Nice to Have Skills:- Exposure to AI application security or securing AI/LLM-based applications
- Linux systems experience within development or security environments
- Experience with threat modeling and proactive application risk identification
- Background supporting Application Security Champion programs or developer enablement initiatives
- Broader DevOps / CI/CD ecosystem experience beyond Jenkins
- Experience with tools such as Fortify, Black Duck, FOSSA, or similar AppSec platforms
