Analyze the security (Red - Offense) of applications in tandem with their underlying services, including connected dependencies such as middle-tier systems and databases. This role also includes hands-on coding responsibilities to remediate vulnerabilities directly within development teams. Assess applications for weaknesses and find resolutions before they can be abused. The ideal candidate will have experience developing and maintaining Web APIs using MuleSoft, including hands-on coding in DataWeave for data transformation and integration across cloud environments.
