Our core competencies revolve around “Product & Platform security”, “Cloud Native Risk Management” and “Detection & Response”. What will you be doing? This role combines technical leadership and hands-on execution: you will spend ~60% of your time performing application security testing, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, code reviews, AI/ML security testing, and automation, and ~40% of your time managing the AppSec domain, leading the team, defining strategy, and coordinating with stakeholders. • Lead the Application Security program across products, platforms, and engineering teams, defining strategy, roadmap, and measurable KPIs for AppSec and AI security maturity. • Manage and mentor a team of AppSec engineers, ensuring effective prioritization, workload management, and continuous skill development. • Perform hands-on SAST, DAST, manual code review, penetration testing, and vulnerability validation across web, mobile (Android and iOS), API, and cloud platforms. • Perform security assessments of AI/ML and GenAI systems, including LLM applications, model endpoints, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows. • Partner with Engineering, Product, Cloud, DevOps, and Data Science teams to embed security controls early in the SDLC and ML/AI development lifecycle through automation, guardrails, and secure-by-design principles. • Drive remediation governance: triage, track, and report on vulnerabilities with accountability across stakeholders; ensure closure within defined SLAs. • Conduct security architecture and design reviews for new applications, APIs, integrations, and AI/ML systems to ensure alignment with enterprise security standards. • Define and enforce secure coding guidelines, threat modeling practices (including AI/LLM threat models), and application and model hardening standards. • Collaborate with the GRC and Incident Response teams to ensure audit readiness, compliance evidence and support during incidents. • Research and adopt emerging AppSec and AI security technologies, frameworks, and practices to continuously strengthen defenses and developer experience. • Drive metrics and reporting to senior leadership on AppSec performance, risk posture, and progress against roadmap goals.
