  • Lead technical direction specifically for Dynamic Analysis, DAST, and API Security features
  • Provide hands-on guidance on security testing architecture and Dynamic Analysis best practices
  • Maintain deep technical awareness through regular code contributions

What you’ll bring

  • Experience with Fuzz Testing methodologies and tools
  • Strong understanding of web application attack vectors and security vulnerabilities
  • Demonstrated experience building or maintaining scalable web crawling systems
  • Professional experience with Go
  • Knowledge of modern web technologies and how to effectively test them for security issues
  • Ability to guide technical decisions around crawler efficiency, coverage, and reliability
  • Experience in application security or security testing
  • Knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and security testing methodologies
