Advance Security Engineer- 12 month contract

Were looking for a Security Response Engineer with strong expertise in Web Application security to join our Advanced Security Response Team (ASRT).
The Advanced Security Response Team is dedicated to the first response for security incidents, focusing primarily on the operational aspects of web application security. This includes analyzing threats, suggesting immediate remediation and mitigation methods, and actively working to block attacks in real time.
The scope of activities spans network layers 3, 4, and 7, covering a broad spectrum of threats. This includes defending against DoS & DDoS attacks, brute-force attempts, scraping, filtering unwanted traffic, as well as initial analysis and mitigation of application attack vectors such as XSS, SQL injection (SQLi), and remote code execution.
Another important responsibility of the ASRT is managing false positives. The team will investigate root causes of these misfires, propose optimal solutions to prevent recurrence, and apply necessary changes.
The ASRT works closely with the first-tier support team, serving as the focal point for security-related events and incidents. Additionally, the team maintains a two-way communication channel with the Threat Research team to share findings, exchange consultation, and stay updated on current security policies.
As a member of the ASR team, the specialist is expected to have a strong working knowledge of web application security and the current threat landscape, combined with in-depth familiarity with security policies and processes. Proficiency with relevant tools and methodologies is required, and continuous learning in security-related topics is encouraged.
This is a full-time position that requires weekend availability and participation in a rotating weekend shift due to the real-time nature of security response.
Key Responsibility:
Investigate and respond to active web and network-based security incidents in real time.
Apply and validate mitigations for attacks such as SQLi, XSS, and DDoS.
Troubleshoot false positives and fine-tune security policies.
Collaborate with internal teams to share findings and continuously improve detection and response.
Clearly explain security events and impacts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Stay up to date on emerging web attack techniques and response methods.
Participate in a rotating weekend/on-call schedule to ensure 24/7 protection for our customers.
