Requirements
Candidates should possess an in-depth understanding of application security concepts, particularly in software composition analysis techniques to evaluate the security risks associated with application dependencies and dynamic analysis security testing (DAST) tools. They should have familiarity with containerization technologies and dependency management systems, knowledge of web application security testing techniques and tools, and experience with open source security tooling (such as OWASP ZAP, Trivy, or similar). Experience in DevSecOps practices and implementation, as well as vulnerability management and remediation, is also required.
Responsibilities
The Engineering Manager for Composition Analysis and Dynamic Analysis will manage engineers across both the Composition Analysis and Dynamic Analysis groups, drive key initiatives including auto-remediation of vulnerable software packages, scanning of unmanaged dependencies in C/C++, static reachability analysis with function-level granularity, snippet detection for open source dependencies, and improve the DAST crawler for efficiency, stability, and consistent web application traversal. They will also balance priorities across multiple security-focused engineering teams, author project plans for epics across both groups, run agile project management processes for multiple teams, provide guidance on security product architecture, and coordinate between Composition Analysis and Dynamic Analysis teams to ensure consistent and complementary approaches to application security.
