As a Principal Security Engineer, you will serve as the technical authority for our product’s security posture. This is a high-impact role that bridges the gap between customer trust and backend engineering. You won’t just be "checking boxes” - you will be diving deep into the Java ecosystem to triage complex vulnerabilities, architecting fixes for critical flaws, and distinguishing genuine threats from false positives.

Key Responsibilities:
- Vulnerability Management: Own the lifecycle of security issues reported by customers, and automated scans.
- Triage & Analysis: Expertly analyze incoming reports to determine severity, exploitability, and business impact. You will be the final word on "False Positives."
- Hands-on Remediation: Design and implement high-quality, performant fixes within a complex Java backend environment.
- Security Mentorship: Act as a consultant to product teams, ensuring "Security by Design" is integrated into the development lifecycle.
- Threat Modeling:



Conduct deep-dive architectural reviews to identify potential weaknesses before they reach production.
- Direct the strategy for maintaining or migrating legacy cryptographic implementations, specifically utilizing RSA BSAFE (Crypto-J / SSL-J) to ensure FIPS 140-2/3 compliance.

Required Technical Expertise:
- The Java Specialist: Deep expertise in Java (Core and Enterprise) and common frameworks (Spring Boot, Hibernate). You should be able to read and debug complex code
- PKI Architecture : Hands on skills in design and maintenance of the Public Key Infrastructure - Integration between Certificate Authorities (CAs), Registration Authorities (RAs), and the Java application layer.
- Security Native: Robust understanding of the OWASP Top 10 and common attack vectors (XSS, SQLi, CSRF, SSRF, Deserialization flaws).
- The Tooling: Experience with SAST, DAST, and SCA tools (e.g., Nessus, Veracode, or Burp Suite).
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Familiarity with securing cloud-native ap
