Application Security Engineer- WAF

We are seeking a highly skilled Security Engineer to design, implement, and operate application and network protection controls across Web Application Firewalls (WAF), Content Delivery Networks (CDN), bot mitigation, and DDoS protection platforms. This role plays a critical part in protecting high‑traffic, internet‑facing applications from OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, automated abuse, fraud, and volumetric and application‑layer attacks—while maintaining performance, availability, and business velocity.

Success in this role requires close collaboration with Application, Network, DevOps/SRE, and SOC teams to deliver secure‑by‑default, measurable, and resilient protections. The pay for this opportunity is $65-70/hr depending on experience.
