This isn't just a maintenance role – it is a blank canvas to build, scale, and architect a state-of-the-art AppSec program from the ground up. We are currently operating at a fraction of our ultimate potential, which means you have an immense, blank-canvas opportunity to fundamentally shape our security culture, processes, and tooling across the entire global engineering organization. You will drive the entire AppSec lifecycle: from offensive red teaming and threat modeling to risk-based vulnerability management and pioneering a true shift-left culture.

What Makes This Role Challenging and Engaging:

High-Impact Technical Environment: You won't just follow blueprints; you will holistically influence a shift-left architecture across both application and platform layers. Modern Technology Stack: Dive into securing a massive TypeScript monolith alongside Go supporting services, giving you hands-on experience in modern language security and advanced GitHub CI/CD pipeline hardening. Web and API: secure the application of the vivenu platform which provides customers with an out-of-the-box ticketing software as well as the underlying API structure Complex Multi-Cloud Architecture: Challenge your skills against a sophisticated multi-tenant, multi-region environment spanning k8s, GCP (our primary compute) and and separate database services Cutting-Edge Deployment: Secure a next-gen Kubernetes "satellite architecture" utilizing hardened private compute nodes, VPC peering, and Argo CD for GitOps—a true, modern cloud-native security mandate.
