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.

MUST HAVES

• 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;

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.

Perks and Benefits

• Professional growth : Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation : USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects : Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
