Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Application Security Advisor to support the rollout and adoption of a new AI-focused security platform (e.g., Snyk or similar) while providing strategic guidance across broader application and identity security domains. This role will operate in a highly advisory capacity, partnering with engineering, security, and product teams to ensure secure implementation of AI-enabled tools, with a strong emphasis on emerging risks related to AI agents, agent identities, and access patterns. The ideal candidate will bring a balance of high-level consulting expertise and hands-on application security experience, including leading proof of concepts (POCs), configuring security controls, and defining policy frameworks. This individual will play a key role in onboarding teams to the new tool, establishing best practices for secure configuration, and ensuring alignment with enterprise IAM strategies. A strong foundation in application security principles, combined with an understanding of modern AI risk vectors and identity/access management, is critical to successfully guide secure adoption and long-term scalability.
