Job Details

- Employment Type: Contract

- Work Mode: Remote

- Location: Offshore

- Total Experience Required: 4 to 8 years

- Relevant Experience Required: 3+ years of dedicated experience securing software development lifecycles (SDLC) and engineering Dev SecOps pipelines

Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Application Security / Dev SecOps Engineer to bake robust safety controls directly into our automated software delivery frameworks. The ideal candidate will bridge software engineering with security operations, implementing automated code testing gates, leading threat modeling workshops, and hardening application containers to identify and mitigate software vulnerabilities before code hits production.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and integrate automated security testing gates directly into modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Jenkins).

- Configure and manage application scanning frameworks, orchestrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tooling.

- Triage and remediate software vulnerabilities, analyzing code flaws, open-source dependency risks, and secret exposure incidents alongside software development teams.





- Lead comprehensive threat modeling assessments for new applications and architecture features, identifying attack surfaces and defining secure coding frameworks.

- Govern application security infrastructure, managing centralized vulnerability aggregation dashboards (e.g., Defect Dojo, Sonar Qube) and secret vaults (e.g., Hashi Corp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).

- Secure containerized application workloads, auditing Dockerfile construction rules, verifying baseline machine images, and checking Kubernetes network isolation parameters.

- Drive application layer incident investigations, analyzing malicious payload web requests, API tampering logs, and cross-site scripting (XSS) vectors to improve software perimeters.

Requirements

- 4 to 8 years of core software engineering or cloud Dev Ops experience, with 3+ dedicated years actively designing, building, and deploying application safety frameworks.

- Strong technical mastery of automated testing engines (e.g., Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, OWASP ZAP), container security paradigms, and infrastructure-as-code hardening.

- Deep structural understanding of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, API security perimeters, contemporary secure coding standards, and cryptographic signing protocols.

- Mandatory certification: CASE, CDP, CSSLP, or CEH.

Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience with software development in languages like Java, Python, Java Script/Node.js, or Go.

- Experience implementing automated code patching routines or managing runtime application self-protection (RASP) layers.
