We are looking for an experienced Application Security Developer to join our dynamic technology team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software development and cybersecurity, with a passion for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in software applications. As an Application Security Developer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the security and integrity of our software products, protecting sensitive data, and maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulations.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with software developers, system architects, and IT operations teams to integrate security best practices into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will be responsible for conducting security assessments, code reviews, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning to proactively identify and remediate security risks. Additionally, you will provide guidance and training to development teams on secure coding practices, security frameworks, and compliance requirements.
The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of common application security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), insecure direct object references, and authentication/authorization flaws. You will also be familiar with security standards and frameworks such as OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, and NIST guidelines.
You will be expected to stay current with emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends, and proactively recommend improvements to our security posture. You will also participate in incident response activities, investigating security incidents, and implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as you will be required to clearly articulate security risks and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You must be detail-oriented, analytical, and capable of working independently as well as collaboratively within a team environment.
This position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, innovative environment where your contributions will directly impact the security and success of our software products. We value continuous learning and professional growth, and we provide opportunities for training, certifications, and career advancement.
If you are passionate about application security, enjoy solving complex security challenges, and want to make a meaningful impact in protecting critical software systems, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position.
