  • Coordinate security communication between Security, Developers, and Product for faster resolution of security tickets.

  • Hands-on security experience through bug bounty programs,  CTFs, or pentesting, and respective tools (eg. Burp Suite).
  • Solid understanding of common application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, SSRF, IDOR, etc.).
  • Familiarity with SAST/DAST tools (e.g. SonarQube, Snyk).
  • Experience collaborating with developers and product teams.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills with a “find and fix” mindset.

Bonus Points

  • Experience creating or merging PRs for security fixes in production code.
  • Knowledge of secure coding practices in web and API development.
  • Familiarity with CI (Jenkins, GilabCI…) and DevOps tools (Terraform, Helm…).
