Product Security Lead

Product Security Lead (Secure SDLC & VAPT)

Location:

• Own the Secure SDLC

  for microservices (Java/Spring Boot), Node/TypeScript backends, Angular UIs, and Android/Flutter apps—policy, standards, and release gates.

• Build and run CI/CD security controls:

  SAST, SCA/SBOM, secrets & IaC checks, container/image scanning; automate DAST/IAST in pipelines; enforce block-on-fail where needed.

• Drive VAPT end-to-end:

  scope with internal/third-party testers, triage findings, set SLAs, track remediation to closure; verify fixes and prevent regressions.

• Threat model & review designs/code

  for authN/Z, crypto, session management, API security, data protection/PII, and high-risk modules (payments, onboarding, documents).

• Cloud & platform security (AWS):

  baselines for EC2/ALB, RDS/KMS, S3 policies, network segmentation, mTLS/JWT service auth, Vault-backed secrets, and key rotation.

• Observability & governance:

  wire security logs to SIEM, define AppSec KPIs (MTTR, SLA adherence, gate coverage), and report risk posture to engineering leadership.

• Upskill teams:

  run secure coding workshops, build a “security champions” program, create playbooks/runbooks for common vulns and abuse cases.

What you’ll bring

• 7–12 years in

  Application/Product Security

  , including leading Secure SDLC and VAPT remediation in a product engineering environment.
• Hands-on with

  SAST/SCA/DAST/IAST

  , code reviews, and threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE); ability to read code in

  Java/Spring

  ,

  Node/TypeScript

  , and

  Angular

  .
• Prior experience in integrating security checks and gating criteria with CI platform like SonarQube
• Strong grasp of

  OWASP Top 10, API Security Top 10, ASVS, CWE

  , secrets management, and CI/CD hardening.

• AWS security

  experience: IAM, KMS, RDS encryption, SG/WAF, CloudTrail/Guard Duty; familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes and

  IaC

  (Terraform/CloudFormation).
• Experience running vendor/3rd-party

  VAPT

  cycles and landing fixes to SLA with engineering teams.
• Awareness of compliance contexts (ISO 27001/SOC 2, RBI guidance,

  DPDP Act

  ) and secure handling of PII/financial data.
• Nice to have: mobile app security (OWASP MASVS), OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, Web Authn/modern auth patterns; Kafka, Redis, NGINX, Consul, Vault.

  OSWE/OSCP

  ,

  GWAPT/GWEB

  ,

  CSSLP

  .

What success looks like (first 6 months)
