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. AppSec and DevSecOps experience is strongly preferred; SAST/DAST/SCA and Java expertise are a plus.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- 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.

MUST HAVES

- 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.

NICE TO HAVES

- 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.
