Role Description

As a Security Engineer – Python (AppSec Tooling & Integrations) you will turn security research and real-world testing needs into reliable, reusable Python automation . You’ll build scripts / services / CLIs that automate checks, parse results, and publish normalized findings; wrap third-party scanners and APIs behind clean adapters; and package everything into Dockerized jobs that run predictably in CI / CD and our backend pipelines. You will collaborate closely with team to convert techniques into low-false-positive tooling, add logging / metrics, and document usage so others can operate your work without hand-holding. The role is hands-on and delivery-focused : small PRs, clear acceptance criteria, scope discipline, and readable code with tests and docstrings. You’ll participate in design / code reviews, improve reliability / performance, and help evolve our starter kits and internal libraries. This is an onsite, Kota position with a strong learning culture—expect fast feedback, weekly demos, and growth toward owning modules and mentoring juniors.

What you’ll do

• Build Python scripts, services, and CLI tools to automate security checks, data collection, and reporting.
• Integrate external tools (scanners / APIs / CLIs) into Dockerized workflows; write Python adapters / wrappers for consistent I / O.
• Develop parsers / matchers to turn raw outputs (HTTP / JSON / HTML / logs) into normalized findings and lightweight reports.
• Orchestrate jobs (scheduling, retries, parallel runs); add logging / metrics and basic error handling.
• Contribute to secure, maintainable code : small PRs, unit tests, docstrings / READMEs, and simple design notes.
• Collaborate with security researchers / engineers to translate techniques into repeatable, low-false-positive automation.
• Support CI / CD by adding linters / tests and packaging your code for reliable, reproducible runs.
• Participate in code reviews; suggest improvements in performance, reliability, and security hygiene.
