  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of tools for secure code reviews and vulnerability remediation
  • Support vulnerability management efforts, including prioritisation and coordination with engineering teams for remediation
  • Assist in security audits and compliance initiatives (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2), including control implementation and evidence gathering
  • Support incident analysis and collaborate with SOC teams during investigations and response activities
  • Manage and respond to operational security requests in line with defined SLAs
Key Requirements

  • Experience securing web and/or mobile applications (iOS/Android) using static and dynamic analysis techniques
  • Hands-on experience with modern application stacks, cloud-native environments, and security tooling
  • Understanding of threat modelling, secure code review practices, and attacker methodologies
