  • Create data processing pipelines to ingest structured and unstructured security artifacts like policies and scan outputs.
  • Design reporting and triage interfaces to surface security findings and compliance risks to internal stakeholders.
  • Develop automation scripts in Python, Go, or TypeScript to streamline data collection and platform operations.
  • Translate complex security program requirements from GRC and AppSec teams into technical features and data models.
  • Manage the technical direction of a small team by conducting code reviews and leading sprint ceremonies.
  • Monitor and report on platform health, adoption metrics, and delivery KPIs to engineering leadership.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree or 5+ years of relevant work experience is required.
  • Experience with a Bachelor’s degree or with an Advanced Degree (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or TypeScript/JavaScript across a polyglot stack (preferred).
  • Experience building web applications using frameworks like Next.js/React and backend services like FastAPI or Node.js (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with Generative AI tooling, including LLM integration, RAG pipelines, or agent orchestration (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of application security or GRC domains such as OWASP, NIST, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS (preferred).
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, Docker, and workflow tools like JIRA or ServiceNow (preferred).
  • Industry certifications such as Security+, SSCP, or CISSP are a plus.
