ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Python Engineer to contribute hands-on to a follow-the-sun DevSecOps pod, writing Python scripts to integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA security gates into CI/CD pipelines and tuning scanning tools to reduce false positives. You will deploy automated hardened baselines and provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams, operating with minimal supervision on complex scripting and integration tasks. The role requires 3–5 years of software engineering experience with strong Python proficiency and CI/CD familiarity.
WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Continuously tune and configure existing security scanning tools to eliminate false positives and deliver high-confidence alerts;
- Assist in coding and deploying automated hardened baselines and secure coding patterns;
- Work directly with product development teams to provide actionable, code-level remediation guidance in Java and Python.
MUST HAVES
- You must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD), as we are unable to sponsor or take over employment visa sponsorship at this time;
- 3–5 years of commercial experience in software engineering;
- Solid coding proficiency in Python for automation and scripting;
- Working knowledge of modern CI/CD orchestration tools and practical experience interacting with vulnerability scoring frameworks;
- Ability to operate with minimal supervision on day-to-day execution and reliably complete complex scripting and integration tasks;
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience in DevSecOps or Application Security;
- Ability to comfortably read and navigate Java source code;
- Hands-on experience with CNAPP or ASPM platforms such as Wiz;
- Basic understanding of application threat modeling.
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.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
