Application Security Engineer

MX Technologies • Full-time

Mar 2019 - Nov 2020 • 1 yr 8 mos

Acted as a security-focused builder embedded within engineering, responsible for designing and operationalizing application security capabilities across the software development lifecycle. Led initiatives that strengthened secure development culture, including creating and delivering a secure coding training program for Engineering, Product, and QA teams to improve security awareness and reduce risk early in development. Designed and implemented systems to detect, triage, and respond to security signals across the environment, aggregating data from firewall telemetry, vulnerability management tooling, and security communications to enable more effective incident response and prioritization. Established scalable security workflows by building an OWASP ASVS-aligned issue tracking model integrated with GitHub and GitLab, helping teams consistently manage and remediate findings within their existing development processes. Improved identity and access governance by designing Okta integrations that centralized permission management for GitLab, and enabled more effective application security testing by creating containerized deployment patterns that supported dynamic analysis. Partnered closely with Engineering and Product teams to coordinate vulnerability remediation across penetration tests, scans, and disclosure programs, while providing hands-on guidance through threat modeling and risk assessments to ensure security was built into product design from the outset.
