* Partner with engineering teams during sprint planning and feature design to proactively address risks.
* Conduct security reviews, code assessments, and vulnerability triage with development teams.
Cloud & DevOps Collaboration
* Work with DevOps to ensure secure AWS infrastructure deployments and configurations.
* Contribute to hardening efforts across ECS, IAM, networking, and supporting cloud services.
* Assist in designing and maintaining secure CI/CD workflows.
Incident & Vulnerability Management

* Monitor, prioritize, and track findings from SAST/DAST/ASM tools.
* Collaborate with engineering to ensure timely and effective remediation.
What We’re Looking For
Required Skills & Experience
* 3–7+ years of experience in Application Security, Product Security, or related engineering roles.
* Strong understanding of secure coding practices, common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), and modern SDLC.
* Experience working with cloud‑native applications, ideally in AWS.
* Understanding of SSL certificates & cryptographic key management
