What this posting asks for

Level: Senior — The title says "Sr".

Main responsibilities

• Development of tools, processes, and guidance that make security easier to adopt without slowing delivery.
• Conduct software code reviews to identify insecure patterns and help teams remediate issues.
• Perform web application security testing using established frameworks and tools.
• Triage and validate Bugcrowd reports, coordinate with researchers, and work directly with internal teams on remediation and disclosure.
• Perform Purple Team exercises to test controls, improve detection, and close identified gaps.
• Contribute to Red Team operations or simulations, including scoping, execution support, and post-exercise analysis.
• Build and operate emerging vulnerability communication processes so teams receive timely, actionable alerts on new threats.
• Conduct continuous threat assessment by folding threat intelligence, emerging vulnerabilities, and attack trends into scanning coverage, notifications, and p…
• Partner with other security sub-teams (detection/response, compliance, application security, infrastructure) to keep efforts consistent and reduce duplication.
• Escalate critical or time-sensitive issues promptly while offering practical mitigation options.
