You’ll Spend Your Time:
- Writing security rules to detect known and unknown vulnerabilities using a proprietary language and built-for-purpose tooling.
- Working closely with our Program Analysis and Machine Learning teams to shape our engine capabilities.
- Learning the mechanics of a programming language or a framework, including looking at best practices and common vulnerable patterns.
- Working with customers, understanding their pain points and challenges, and helping secure the world’s largest companies.
- Helping shape our product roadmap and driving innovation and guidance to the business with regards to up-and-coming security risks.
- Taking part in research endeavors (where applicable), contributing back to the security community and publishing written papers.
What You’ll Need:
- Demonstrated experience and knowledge of Application Security Vulnerabilities.
- Proficiency with Python and/or Javascript, as well as some familiarity with OOP languages such as Java or C#.
- Interest in learning about the mechanics and inner workings of a language or a framework, and the ability to self-study highly technical concepts.

We’d be Lucky if You:
- Are experienced working with, developing, or using AppSec tools.
