Full description
Senior application engineer, 8+ years, deep in at least one of Java, C#/.NET, C++ or Python, and comfortable reading the others.
- Security vulnerability remediation at volume: dependency and transitive-dependency upgrades driven by SCA findings, managing the breaking changes that result, and OWASP-class code-level fixes.
- Hands-on operation of agentic coding workflows to produce merge-ready pull requests at volume, including triaging and correcting agent output.
- Working fluently with an unfamiliar codebase at speed — this role joins a product team it did not build.
- GitHub Actions and disciplined pull-request practice.
- Client-facing: embedded with an product team, running a daily standup with their named subject-matter expert, and teaching while delivering. This seat is the team's technical lead and is accountable for the team's output.
Nice To Have
Security certification (CSSLP, GWEB, or equivalent).
- Software composition analysis tooling: Checkmarx, Black Duck, Snyk, Mend.
- Financial services or other regulated-industry delivery.
- Prior enablement, consulting or developer-advocacy work — this role has to leave capability behind, not just closed tickets.
