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 across a large-scale financial services program. You will work in Python and Java to deploy and tune SAST, DAST, and SCA tools, provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams, and operate with full autonomy building automated security runbooks. The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong AppSec and DevSecOps focus.

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.

- 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong subsequent focus on Application Security and DevSecOps;

- Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python (for security automation and scripting) and/or Java (to confidently read, review, and secure enterprise source code);

- Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools ( SAST , DAST , SCA ) and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems;

- Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks;

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation;

- Advanced application threat modeling experience.
