You will be a key driver in establishing security best practices for our containerized environments and maturing our overall security posture.

Key Responsibilities:

Architect, develop, and deploy highly scalable security automation and tooling to significantly reduce Time-to-Remediate (TTR) identified risk.
Lead the integration of advanced AI/ML capabilities into the vulnerability management lifecycle, focusing on automated vulnerability validation, intelligent patch suggestion, and PR generation for dependency remediation.
Serve as a technical expert for complex dependency vulnerability triage and remediation, particularly for critical and zero-day issues identified by SCA tools.
Establish patterns and best practices for the end-to-end remediation process, including analysis, automated PR creation, and validation testing.
Drive the prioritization and remediation strategy across multiple engineering teams and product lines.
Design, implement, and govern the process for building and maintaining hardened container base images for development and production environments, focusing on minimizing attack surface.
Provide technical guidance and engineering solutions for securing Kubernetes (K8s) and containerized workloads, including runtime security, network policies, and admission controllers.
Contribute significantly to the overall Security Engineering roadmap and strategy.
Provide consultation on application security architecture and design to engineering leadership.
Demonstrated success through cross functional collaboration and team work, ability to drive solutions beyond their individual contribution.

Our Ideal Candidate Will Have:

Deep, proven experience with container security, including designing and deploying hardened container images and securing Kubernetes clusters.
Expert-level proficiency in Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and hands-on experience in the practical remediation of third-party and open-source dependency vulnerabilities at scale.
Strong practical experience in building and operating security automation, with development expertise in languages like Go and/or Python
Expertise in using GitHub, and CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) from an architectural and engineering perspective.
Proficient in application security principles, secure code review, and the OWASP Top 10.
Direct experience or strong conceptual understanding of applying AI/ML, Large Language Models (LLMs), or MCP techniques to security challenges (e.g., automated vulnerability fixing, intelligent alert grouping).
Expert familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and their security services, with a focus on container orchestration.

Nice to Have:

Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, especially Terraform, for provisioning security controls.
Published research, talks, or contributions to open-source security projects.
Experience with supply chain security frameworks (e.g., SLSA).
Advanced knowledge of Application security (OWASP Top 10)
