  • Stay up to date with emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends, ensuring AppsFlyer remains ahead of evolving risks.
  • Support and contribute to security incident response activities, including root cause analysis and post-incident improvements
  • Automate security processes and integrate security tools within CI/CD pipelines
  • Develop and deliver secure coding training to engineering teams

What you have:

  • 4+ years of experience in Application Security, Penetration Testing, or Product Security in a SaaS company
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Deep understanding and hands on experience of web application security, including OWASP Top 10, authentication, encryption, and secure coding principles
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Go, etc.) for security automation
  • Experience with cloud security best practices (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Hands-on experience with DevSecOps and integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain security risks and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive management
  • Experience working with large-scale, complex R&D environments
