Job Details
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking an Application Security Specialist in Grapevine, TX.
Overview:
We are looking for a Junior to Mid-Level Application Security Specialist to join our security team and work closely with development teams. In this role, you will bridge the gap between security and development by advocating for the security program within the development organization, communicating risks, and helping them incorporate security practices into their development processes. While prior security experience is a plus, we are more focused on your mindset and willingness to learn, especially if you have a background in development and want to transition into application security. The role will also focus on cloud security, particularly Azure, so a solid understanding of cloud-based application development will be beneficial.
REQUIREMENTS:
* Experience in development (e.g., software engineering, application development) with a desire to pivot into application security
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex security concepts to developers in a way that's understandable and actionable
* Ability to advocate for security needs while understanding the pressures and objectives of development teams
* Knowledge of cloud-based application security, ideally in Azure
* Familiarity with secure coding practices and the ability to assist developers in following these practices
* Experience interacting with developers in a collaborative and effective manner
* Willingness to learn and grow in the field of application security, with a passion for improving security in software development
Nice to Have:
* Previous experience in application security, including performing security assessments or vulnerability management, is a plus
* Familiarity with other security-related tools or practices such as static/dynamic analysis or penetration testing (but not required)
* Experience with any cloud platforms outside of Azure is beneficial but not necessary
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
