The Web Developer Security Engineering plays a pivotal role in protecting mission-critical web applications, APIs and sensitive data. The objectives are to embed robust security principles throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to build security as a proactive, foundational pillar.
Responsibilities:
- Identify, analyze, and neutralize critical vulnerabilities, logic flaws, insecure dependencies, and misconfigurations
- Drive the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle - integrating proactive threat modeling and advanced security assessments, ensuring remediation integrity through rigorous technical validation
- Support integration of security controls into application architectures, APIs, and supporting services, advising on secure design patterns; data protection mechanisms; and secure communication protocols to ensure applications are secure by design and resilient to evolving threats.
- Obtain, review, and analyze web server and application logs to detect anomalies and indicators of compromise
- Implement automation scripts for threat intelligence integration to optimize alert accuracy and actively support the end-to-end response to web application security events.
- Maintain documentation of findings, remediation steps, and security controls.
- Ensure all web applications and cloud infrastructures comply with Federal cybersecurity frameworks, including NIST SP 800‑53, FISMA, and FedRAMP (as applicable)
- Participate in audits, risk assessments, and security authorization processes
Required/ Preferred Skills :
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in computer science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field
- Extensive hands‑on experience in secure software development, DevSecOps automation, and vulnerability remediation. Required
- Proficiency in logs analysis, file integrity monitoring (FIM), and managing web application firewalls (WAF) to defend against emerging threats. Required
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in Web Application Security, Application Security Engineering (AppSec) or secure software development life cycle (SSDLC). Required
- Strong understanding of Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10, secure coding standards, and proactive mitigation of common web vulnerabilities. Required
- Experience deploying, tuning, and maintaining Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) solutions tailored to custom‑developed applications and traffic patterns. Required
- Strong track record in configuring and managing File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) solutions for web content directories, to detect and alert on unauthorized change. Required
- Familiar with security testing tools such as Wireshark, SIEM, IDS/IPS, NDR, or EDR. Required
- Evaluates, recommends, and implements security controls for mobile device solutions and mobile‑web interface. Required
- Ability to perform complex risk assessments, analyze cyber threats, and provide remediation guidance for core systems and their dependencies. Required
- Proven ability to implement DevSecOps principles, seamlessly integrating security controls throughout the CI/CD pipeline. Required
- Experience developing security metrics, managing compliance reporting, and auditing systems against established security baselines. Required
- Collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams, and work independently as well as in a team. Required
- Experience providing Tier II support for security operations and recommending continue security enhancements for existing infrastructure. Required
- In‑depth experience at Federal cybersecurity frameworks (NIST SP 800‑53, FISMA, FedRAMP) authorization process. Preferred
- Proven background in threat modeling, risk assessment, and designing resilient security architecture. Preferred
- Advanced experience implementing secure DevOps/DevSecOps practices, specifically focus on CI/CD pipeline and automating security gates. Preferred
- Knowledge of cloud security AWS and container security (Docker, Kubernetes). Preferred
