• Support secure CI/CD practices and partner with internal teams
• Help discover, assess, and remediate security risks across undocumented or unknown systems

• Laravel 9 and earlier, plus custom PHP apps
• Security tooling: Snyk, GitGuardian, Tenable (primary focus on Snyk + GitGuardian)
• Exposure to Python would be beneficial but not required

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience tackling vulnerable and legacy environments
• Strong secure coding understanding & OWASP best practices
• Ability to troubleshoot undocumented code and runtime configurations
