  • Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree and 9 years of experience, Master’s and 8 years, or PhD and 4 years in information security or related functions.
  • Strong understanding of application security principles including OWASP Top 10, SANS/CWE Top 25, and secure coding practices.
  • Expertise in session management, token handling, and authentication mechanisms such as OAuth, SAML, and OpenID Connect.
  • Knowledge of cryptographic practices, encryption protocols, and PKI management.
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Familiarity with code analysis tools like SonarQube or Veracode and vulnerability scanners like Burp Suite or Nessus.
  • Significant SOX and HIPAA experience dealing with IT general controls through audit, remediation, or system validation.
