We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Application Developer to build software solutions that provide compliance evidencing and effectiveness measurements for cloud security controls. This role requires hands-on experience with AWS/Azure and modern SDLC practices. You will partner with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and maintain robust security solutions that protect cloud infrastructure from emerging threats while meeting functional, non-functional, and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Implementation: Design, develop, and integrate solutions to gather security control evidence across multiple cloud platforms (e.g., AWS or Azure) to ensure the security and compliance of cloud infrastructure and workloads.

• Controls Evidencing and Enforcement: Identify security controls applicable to CI/CD pipelines and runtime environments to prevent misconfigurations and enforce security best practices and standards.

• Software Engineering Delivery: Develop and deliver software solutions that meet functional, non-functional, and regulatory compliance requirements; write, test, debug, and maintain code primarily using Java and/or Python and related technologies.

• Vulnerability management: hands-on experience with SCA, SAST, DAST vulnerability identification and remediation.

• CI/CD & DevSecOps: Engage in continuous integration and deployment activities including automating build, test, and release pipelines; integrate security best practices into CI/CD processes and operational workflows.

• Quality & Reliability: Troubleshoot defects, perform root-cause analysis, ensure software quality through unit, integration, and regression testing; contribute to code reviews.

• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to refine requirements and deliver secure, maintainable capabilities.

• Containers: Experience with Docker and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes.

• Databases: Solid knowledge of relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL; ability to write complex SQL queries and perform thorough data validations.

• APIs & Systems Integration: Experience building and integrating with REST APIs and system interfaces, with emphasis on maintainability, availability, reliability, performance, and security.

Preferred Technical Skills

• Cybersecurity: Significant experience in cybersecurity across multiple domains, with a strong focus on cloud security and integrating controls as code. Experienced in secure coding practices, authentication protocols, cryptography basics, identity and access management, and familiarity with security testing and vulnerability assessment.

• AI/ML: hands-on experience with agent-first development.

Soft Skills

• Self-Starter: Takes initiative without needing constant direction; independently drives tasks and projects forward.
• Proactive: Anticipates challenges and opportunities, addresses issues before they escalate, and actively seeks improvements.
