About the Company
ValueLabs is hiring for Lead Security Engineer. Below is the Job Description.
About the Role
As the Security Lead Engineer, you will be a hands-on security engineer who builds and implements security controls, tooling, and automation across applications, cloud infrastructure, APIs, and blockchain-integrated platforms — not just an auditor who finds problems and hands them off. This role combines offensive security testing with production-grade engineering: you'll write code, ship security tooling, implement fixes directly into infrastructure and pipelines, and own outcomes end-to-end. Deep expertise in application security, cloud security, secure development, and software engineering is required.
Responsibilities
Build and Own Offensive Security Tooling
Design, build, and maintain internal security tooling (scanners, custom scripts, automated test harnesses) rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf DAST/SAST products.
Conduct hands-on penetration testing against web apps, APIs, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, and containers — and implement the fixes,



not just report findings.
Write proof-of-concept exploits and custom detection rules for vulnerability classes specific to the platform.
Implement Cloud and Infrastructure Security Controls
Write and maintain Terraform (or equivalent IaC) modules that enforce secure-by-default configurations — not just audit existing IaC for misconfigurations.
Build and deploy CSPM policy-as-code and Kubernetes security policies (OPA/Gatekeeper, network policies, admission controllers) directly into the workplace.
Own remediation of cloud misconfigurations by shipping infrastructure changes, not just filing tickets.
Engineer DevSecOps Pipelines
Build and maintain automated security gates in CI/CD (SAST/DAST/dependency scanning, secrets detection) as code — own the pipeline configuration, not just “support” it.
Write custom integrations/plugins where off-the-shelf tools don't fit the stack.
