Cybersecurity Engineer – Application Security Enablement

Role Overview

• Define and document secure development standards and patterns for modern application architectures (web, API, microservices), with guidance grounded in industry best practices such as OWASP and informed by broader frameworks (i.e. NIST, CIS Controls).
• Develop reusable patterns for common application scenarios such as secure APIs, service-to-service communication and front-end/back-end architecture.
• Translate complex security risks into clear, developer-focused guidance that can be easily adopted.
• Collaborate with engineers and architects during design discussions to provide guidance on secure application architecture and design decisions.
• Identify common security pitfalls early in the lifecycle.
• Promote secure-by-design and secure-by-default principles to enable efficient and secure development practices.
• Support the integration of authentication and authorization patterns within application architecture.
• Align application security practices with identity and access management, identity governance, and privileged access management solutions.
• Partner with Digital Identity Services, Cybersecurity Engineering, Product Security Testing, and other teams to provide application security guidance.

Requirements

• High school diploma with 12 or more years of experience in application security, secure software development, or cybersecurity engineering; or Associate degree with 10 or more years of experience; or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or Engineering with 8 or more years of experience; or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or Engineering with 6 or more years of experience.
• 8 or more years of experience in application security, secure software development, or cybersecurity engineering, with a focus on identifying and addressing application-layer risks.
• 5 or more years of experience applying secure coding principles and addressing application security risks using OWASP Top 10 or similar best practices, with the ability to translate risks into actionable developer guidance.
• 3 or more years of experience working with enterprise security frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or ISO 27001, with demonstrated ability to align application security practices to these or other applicable frameworks.
• 3 or more years of experience in application or software development, OR equivalent experience working closely with development teams, with demonstrated ability to engage developers credibly on secure coding practices, design, and remediation strategies.
• 5 or more years of experience designing or securing web applications, APIs, and microservices architectures, including providing guidance on secure design decisions.
• 5 or more years of experience identifying, analyzing, and guiding remediation of common vulnerabilities such as injection, XSS, CSRF, broken authentication, and insecure deserialization.
• 3 or more years of experience applying secure design patterns in real-world systems, with the ability to guide teams on secure-by-design and secure-by-default principles.
• 2 or more years of experience securing cloud-native applications and APIs in AWS or Azure, including advising on secure architecture and integration patterns.
• 2 or more years of experience working with authentication and authorization protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML, including advising on appropriate implementation within application architectures.
• 3 or more years of experience operating in a consultative, cross-functional role, providing actionable security guidance to engineering and architecture teams and influencing secure design decisions.
