Job Description

About the Role
 
ICapital is looking for a hands-on Application Security practitioner to join a small, high-impact team building a modern AppSec program. This individual will work directly with the Head of AppSec and senior team members, executing secure design, API security, and developer enablement.
Responsibilities
  • Support threat modeling and design reviews across a broad and growing service portfolio.
  • Support shift-left security initiatives, security in CI/CD, developer guidance, and SAST and SCA remediation workflows.
  • Contribute to API security across the organization, assessing API exposure, validating authentication and authorization patterns.
  • Write Python automation that scales AppSec capacity: triage tooling, finding pipelines, security context enrichment.
  • Work directly with developers to remediate SAST and SCA findings, reduce false positive noise, and build security habits across engineering.
Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience across some secure design and threat modeling, API security, offensive security, or SAST/SCA program work
  • Real understanding of attack patterns and exploitation techniques
  • Familiar with OWASP Top 10 in practice
  • API security experience with REST and GraphQL assessment
  • Able to build and maintain security automation in Python, tooling that scales AppSec capacity
  • Understanding of web application and API security
  • Able to operate with autonomy in an environment still building its processes
  • Relevant certifications, cloud-native environment experience and exposure to AI/LLM security are a plus
  • Experience as a developer or engineer and fluency in Ruby, Python, and Scala are a plus
