Responsibilities

  • Contribute production-quality code and security hardening directly to the Node.js/React application and Python/Terraform infrastructure.
  • Build and maintain security and CI/CD automation tooling and integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning into the Secure SDLC.
  • Define secure-by-design patterns for authentication, authorization, and API security, and review RFCs and design documents.
  • Lead threat modeling and translate findings into shipped security controls.
  • Secure AI-integrated product features against prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive tool, token, and data access.
  • Perform penetration testing and OWASP-based code reviews, remediate application vulnerabilities, and operate the HackerOne bug bounty program end to end.
  • Automate recurring security work and contribute to SOC 2 control design and audit readiness.

Requirements

  • Experience hardening LLM-integrated or AI-powered production features, operating a bug bounty program, or contributing to SOC 2 readiness is preferred.
