About The Position

We are seeking an Associate Senior Security to join our Application Security team and help developers build secure software across the enterprise. This is a developer-enablement role and an entry point into a specialized application security career. The successful candidate has a demonstrated technical foundation, typically developed through a technical degree, internships, or hands-on project work, and is prepared to build deeper security expertise while supporting our teams. You will work across the full range of our AppSec functions, such as static and composition analysis (SAST, SCA), cloud and container scanning, security tool pipeline integration, OSINT, and DevSecOps automation. With guidance from senior analysts and stack owners, you will learn each area well enough to help developers, document processes, and build the training and automation that scale the team's impact.
