We are looking for a highly skilled and proactive Web Developer Security Engineer to join our team supporting the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) under the SENTRY Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). As a Web Developer Security Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in protecting mission-critical web applications, APIs, and sensitive data. You will embed robust security principles throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to build security as a proactive, foundational pillar. You will identify, analyze, and neutralize critical vulnerabilities, logic flaws, insecure dependencies, and misconfigurations, and drive the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Web Application Security: Identify, analyze, and neutralize critical vulnerabilities, logic flaws, insecure dependencies, and misconfigurations.
• Vulnerability Lifecycle: Drive the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle--integrating proactive threat modeling and advanced security assessments, ensuring remediation integrity through rigorous technical validation.
• Secure Design: Support integration of security controls into application architectures, APIs, and supporting services; advise on secure design patterns, data protection mechanisms, and secure communication protocols.
• Monitoring & Incident Response: Obtain, review, and analyze web server and application logs to detect anomalies and indicators of compromise; support the end-to-end response to web application security events.
• Automation: Implement automation scripts for threat intelligence integration to optimize alert accuracy; leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, OpenAI API/Codex) and scripting languages (Python, JavaScript/Node.js) to automate security monitoring and compliance audits.
• Compliance: Ensure all web applications and cloud infrastructures comply with Federal cybersecurity frameworks, including NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP (as applicable); participate in audits, risk assessments, and security authorization processes.

Required Qualifications:

• Certifications: Must hold at least one certification from each of the following three categories:
• Specialized AppSec: CSSLP, GWEB, or CASE
• Offensive Security: OSWE or OSCP
• Foundational Security: Security+ or GSEC

• Clearance: Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust Tier 2 clearance (background check conducted through U.S. Capitol Police).
• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of experience in Web Application Security, Application Security Engineering (AppSec), or secure software development life cycle (SSDLC).
• Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated hands-on experience with:
• Modern web technologies: .NET (C# MVC, WCF), HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, REST APIs, and SQL
• AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, OpenAI API/Codex)
• Scripting languages (Python, JavaScript/Node.js, Java, React.js, TypeScript)
• Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) solutions
• Security testing tools (Wireshark, SIEM, IDS/IPS, NDR, EDR)
• Security Knowledge: Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, secure coding standards, and proactive mitigation of common web vulnerabilities.

Desired Experience:

• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
• In-depth experience with federal cybersecurity frameworks (NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP) authorization processes.
• Proven background in threat modeling, risk assessment, and designing resilient security architecture.
• Experience implementing secure DevOps/DevSecOps practices, specifically CI/CD pipeline and automating security gates.
• Knowledge of cloud security (AWS) and container security (Docker, Kubernetes).

Clearance Requirement: Must be eligible for a Public Trust Tier 2
