  • Conduct thorough threat modeling and architectural security reviews for complex applications, APIs, and microservices prior to deployment.
  • Perform deep-dive manual and automated secure code reviews across various codebases to identify logic flaws and subtle implementation vulnerabilities.
  • Build and maintain 'secure-by-default' internal libraries, frameworks, and developer tools to systematically eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities.
  • Take ownership of the application vulnerability lifecycle, including triaging, validating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities originating from internal testing, penetration tests, and external bug bounty programs.
  • Act as a strategic partner to product and engineering teams, providing pragmatic mitigation guidance that balances product velocity with security assurance.
  • Design and deliver modern, hands-on secure coding training and security awareness initiatives for engineering teams (e.g., addressing OWASP Top 10, LLM/AI security risks).
  • Support incident response and detection teams during application-level security incidents or potential data breaches, leading post-mortem analysis for software flaws.
  • Ensure application security controls remain fully compliant with relevant financial data protection regulations, fintech standards, and internal tech policies.
