Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to drive vulnerability management and penetration testing across applications and infrastructure.

This role is focused on hands-on identification, validation, and remediation of security issues, with an emphasis on building scalable processes and improving overall security posture.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and operate the vulnerability management lifecycle, including:
• Continuous scanning (applications, infrastructure, dependencies)
• Risk-based prioritization
• Tracking and driving remediation
• Perform penetration testing on web applications, APIs, and cloud environments.
• Validate and triage vulnerabilities to eliminate false positives and ensure actionable findings.
• Partner with engineering teams to fix vulnerabilities and prevent recurrence.
• Implement and manage tools for:
• SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning
• Infrastructure and container scanning
• Develop repeatable testing methodologies and automation.
• Conduct adversarial testing and exploit validation to simulate real-world attack scenarios.
• Track metrics and report on risk posture and remediation progress.
• Contribute to improving secure development practices based on findings.
  
  

• 5–9+ years of experience in security engineering, vulnerability management, or penetration testing.
• Hands-on experience with:
• Web and API security testing
• Common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, misconfigurations, auth flaws)
• Strong understanding of attack techniques and exploitation methods.
• Experience with security scanning tools and frameworks.
• Ability to analyze and validate vulnerabilities in real-world systems.
• Familiarity with cloud environments (Azure preferred).
  
  

• Experience with automating security testing in CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with container and Kubernetes security.
• Experience with bug bounty or red teaming.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., OSCP, CEH, GWAPT).
  
  

• Strong hands-on tester and problem solver.
• Ability to go beyond tools and think like an attacker.
• Focus on impact-driven security, not just findings.
