The successful candidate will operate across the full application security lifecycle, applying purple teaming practices to continuously improve both preventive and detective controls. You will act as a technical point of contact across offensive and defensive security activities, translate realistic attack paths into remediation actions, validate control effectiveness through targeted testing, and produce defensible technical evidence that supports governance and audit requirements. You will partner closely with the Cybersecurity Lead, who owns overall security strategy.

Application security and vulnerability remediation:
Own application security across web, mobile, and API systems.
Identify and prioritize vulnerabilities using SAST, DAST, and threat modelling.
Assess findings against OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security risks.
Drive remediation with engineering teams and validate fixes.
Secure SDLC and threat modelling
Embed security into the software development lifecycle.
Conduct threat modelling during design and architecture.
Perform security reviews for new features and changes.
DevSecOps
Integrate SAST, DAST, dependency, and container testing into CI CD pipelines.
Define risk based security gates and tune rulesets.
Attack surface and purple teaming.
Assess high risk flows involving authentication, sensitive data, APIs, and third party integrations.
Identify risks in token handling, sessions, and API abuse.
Conduct targeted testing and validate defensive coverage.
Blue team, cloud, and technical assurance
Act as a technical escalation point during application, cloud, and platform security incidents
Support detection tuning, logging quality, and threat hunting using application and cloud telemetry
Validate security controls across applications, pipelines, cloud services, and identity components
Support external scanning and remediation validation
