As a Senior .NET Developer, you will make an impact by strengthening the security posture of enterprise applications through vulnerability analysis, remediation, and secure software development practices. In this role, you will bridge software engineering and enterprise security by analyzing SAST/DAST/SCA scan results, performing root-cause analysis on vulnerabilities, and directly writing and deploying secure .NET code fixes. Leveraging modern DevSecOps practices and AI-assisted engineering tools (such as GitHub Copilot and Claude), you will accelerate vulnerability remediation and enforce secure coding standards across production pipelines.
In this role, you will
- Analyze and remediate application security vulnerabilities identified through SAST, DAST, SCA, and penetration testing assessments.
- Implement secure coding practices across .NET applications in alignment with OWASP standards and industry best practices.
- Review, investigate, and resolve security findings generated by tools such as Checkmarx, Fortify, AppScan, SonarQube, and similar platforms to evaluate risk and validate security patches.
- Perform root cause analysis of security issues and implement sustainable remediation strategies to prevent recurrence.
- Collaborate with development, architecture, DevOps, and security teams to ensure timely resolution of identified vulnerabilities.
- Support Secure SDLC initiatives and ensure compliance with organizational and client application security requirements.
- Conduct code reviews with a strong focus on security, maintainability, and application performance.
- Integrate automated security gates into CI/CD pipelines and utilize AI-driven tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate code reviews, threat analysis, and remediation workflows.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship on secure development practices and vulnerability prevention.
