  • Partner with engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
  • Implement and improve security controls for third-party software, package repositories, and application dependencies.
  • Analyze CVEs and work with development teams to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities.
  • Mentor junior security analysts and contribute to the continuous improvement of SOC processes and security operations.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
  • 7+ years of experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, or Application Security.
  • Experience working in a 24x7 SOC environment with off-hours support responsibilities.
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, CSSLP, GIAC, or similar are highly preferred.
Technical Skills
  • SIEM and EDR platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, or CrowdStrike.
  • Strong knowledge of application security, secure coding principles, and OWASP Top 10.
  • Experience with SAST, DAST, and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools.
  • Knowledge of software supply chain security, dependency management, and package ecosystems (npm, Maven, PyPI, NuGet, etc.).
  • Experience with artifact repositories and vulnerability management.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Cloud security experience within AWS, Azure, or GCP, including container security.
  • Strong understanding of threat detection, vulnerability management, and incident response methodologies.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience investigating software supply chain attacks and dependency compromise.
  • Familiarity with vulnerability reachability analysis and exploit prioritization.
  • Experience developing security detections, threat models, and automation.
  • Ability to mentor teammates and collaborate effectively across Security, Infrastructure, and Engineering organizations.
