About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to modernize vulnerability management at scale within a highly regulated financial services environment. You will govern and analyze large vulnerability datasets from tools including Wiz, Checkmarx, and Snyk, build automated triage and remediation workflows using Python and AI-assisted agents, and embed security intelligence directly into CI/CD pipelines. The role requires deep AppSec tooling expertise, risk-based prioritization using CVSS and EPSS, and the ability to provide code-level remediation guidance to Java development teams.

What You Will Do

• Structure, analyze, and govern the massive output of vulnerability data from across the enterprise portfolio, ensuring it is highly contextualized and ready for consumption by developers and automated systems.
• Triage and prioritize vulnerabilities utilizing data-driven scoring models (CVSS, EPSS) combined with contextual business and infrastructure risk.
• Continuously tune security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and data pipelines to eliminate noise and false positives, delivering only high-confidence alerts.
• Develop AI-assisted runbooks, custom scripts, and intelligent agent workflows to automate the triage and remediation of high-frequency vulnerabilities.
• Partner with platform teams to transform manual security review processes into automated, frictionless governance gates embedded directly within the CI/CD pipeline.
• Work directly with software engineers in their native tech stack (Java, Python) to provide specific, code-level remediation guidance, focusing on minimizing developer friction.
• Conduct application threat modeling and architecture reviews for new features within critical applications.
• Act as a DevSecOps evangelist, actively bridging the gap between stringent security mandates and Agile delivery velocity.

MUST HAVES

• 5+ years of experience in application security, software engineering, or DevSecOps, with at least 2+ years operating within highly regulated enterprise environments (Finance, Healthcare, Defense).
• Proven ability to manage, analyze, and automate large datasets of security vulnerabilities to build intelligent governance and reporting metrics.
• Deep, hands-on expertise deploying, tuning, and consuming APIs from modern application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Checkmarx, SonarQube, Snyk).
• Strong proficiency in Python (or Go) to build custom scripts, automate vulnerability data triage, and manipulate API data from security tooling.
• High proficiency in reading and reviewing enterprise application code, specifically Java.
• Advanced knowledge of vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS, EPSS) and industry-standard security frameworks (OWASP Top 10, CWE).
• Practical experience integrating automated security gates into modern CI/CD orchestration tools.

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience utilizing LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging, data classification, or remediation code generation.
• Prior experience managing vulnerabilities subject to strict financial compliance standards (PCI-DSS, SOC2, NYDFS).
• Industry-recognized application security certifications (e.g., CSSLP, GWAPT, GWEB, CISSP, or CEH).
• Strong familiarity operating within Agile/Scrum delivery models and utilizing Jira for automated backlog management.
