This includes conducting security code reviews and providing effective remediation guidance. Collaborate & Respond: Serve as a point of contact to assist the Infosec SOC team with specific security incidents. Job qualifications Experience: 5+ years of experience as a security specialist or engineer, which must include responsibilities working directly with delivery teams to review code and systems architecture.

Infrastructure & Cloud Security: In-depth understanding of security for applications on cloud infrastructure and knowledge of technical security architecture principles. This includes a solid understanding of OS security, networking, containerization, virtualization, and server environments (e.g., Apache, Unix). Secure Development: Demonstrable experience in secure coding practices and conducting code reviews for languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, and Javascript. Security Engineering: Experience in running threat modeling sessions and expertise in password/secret management tools and techniques. Testing & Tools: Comprehensive understanding of static and dynamic code analysis. Experience with manual and automation penetration testing tools, such as Burp, ZAP, Fortify, AppScan, WebInspect, NMap, Checkmarx, or Veracode. Leadership & Communication: Excellent communication (verbal and written), influencing, and interpersonal skills. Ability to build relationships across the organization and promote security awareness.
