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


Tech & Tools

  • PHP 7.x & 8.x, potential older versions in production
  • 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

  • Solid communication and stakeholder collaboration skills
