EXPERIENCE: 5–10 Years
Core Responsibilities:
• Security Microservices: Architect and build centralized security services (e.g., Authentication/Authorization, Secrets Management, PKI) using high-performance languages.
• Secure Libraries: Develop standard SDKs/Libraries that abstract complex security logic (Encryption, Input Validation) for other engineering teams.
• Automated Remediation: Build bots or "Self-Healing" code that automatically detects and fixes infrastructure misconfigurations or code vulnerabilities.
• AI Security (AISec): Build guardrails and "Firewalls" for internal LLM applications to prevent data leakage and prompt injection.
Must-Have Skills:
• Backend Engineering: Expert in Golang or Python. Ability to write production-grade, testable, and concurrent code.
• System Design: Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and API design.
• Application Security: Deep knowledge of OWASP standards, Cryptography fundamentals, and Auth protocols (OAuth2/SAML/OIDC).
• DevSecOps: Experience integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines (Linters, SAST/DAST wrappers).
Preferred / Nice to Have:
• Experience with Policy-as-Code frameworks (e.g., OPA).
• Knowledge of Service Mesh security patterns.
• Experience contributing to open-source security projects.
