You will help develop strategy, implement new technology, maintain technical controls, assess vulnerabilities, and collaborate with developers to ensure that the proper guardrails are in place to enable the continuous and secure delivery of applications.

This role requires expertise in CICD, Secure software development, and application security best practices to improve developer experience and delivery of our security services to our end users

Key Responsibilities

  • Utilize application development, deployment, and security experience to help guide Application Security strategy and secure the software development lifecycle (SDLC)

  • Develop strategies to secure current and emerging technologies (containers, serverless, API, AI/ML).
  • Provide hands-on engineering support for security incidents, threat events, vulnerability management, and control improvements to strengthen Enterprise application security posture.
  • Gather and report metrics from Application Security solutions and processes to provide meaningful insights into security coverage, risk reduction, and program maturity.
  • Create and maintain technical standards, operational procedures, and supporting documentation for Application Security services by leveraging guidance from organizations such as NIST, OWASP, and SANS.
  • Provide technical mentorship and training to development and cloud engineering teams on secure development practices for API, Container security, and vulnerability remediation.
  • Implement, optimize, and operationalize Application Security solutions to improve risk visibility, security coverage, and developer adoption.
  • Drive automation and security capabilities that improve developer experience, streamline security processes, and align Application Security solutions with enterprise security and technology goals.
  • Stay informed on emerging Application Security trends, technologies, attack techniques, and industry best practices to continuously enhance Vanguard's security posture.

Qualifications

  • Undergraduate degree in a related field or equivalent combination of training and experience.
  • Strong experience deploying and operating DAST tools to include managing team onboarding, authentication setup, and CI/CD integration.
  • Experience with other well-known application security tools (SAST, SCA, IAST, RASP, etc.)
  • Strong knowledge of application development, build, and deployment processes (development, IDEs, repositories, branching, pipelines, cloud, containers, serverless, etc.).
  • Familiarity with industry standards such as NIST, OWASP, and MITRE.
  • Relevant certifications in application development, security, application security, DevSecOps, or cloud are a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
