Job Description

Build it. Break it. Secure it. Lead it.

CNA National is hiring a Lead Java Application Security Engineer who can write production code and eliminate real-world vulnerabilities —not just talk about them.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll split your time between:

• Securing applications (SAST/DAST, OWASP, API security)
• Building modern apps (Java, Spring Boot, Angular)

Why This Role

• You won’t be siloed—you’ll own both security and engineering outcomes
• You’ll fix vulnerabilities in code , not just report them
• You’ll influence architecture, standards, and engineering culture
• You’ll work on modern stacks with real business impact

What You’ll Do

• Run and act on Veracode (or similar) SAST/DAST/SCA scans
• Remediate vulnerabilities directly in Java + Angular codebases
• Secure APIs using OAuth2, JWT, authn/authz best practices
• Lead design and delivery of scalable applications
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar on secure coding
• Evaluate AI-generated code (Copilot) for security risks

What You Bring

✔ 5+ years in Application Security (hands-on)
✔ 7+ years in Java + Angular development
✔ Proven technical leadership experience
✔ Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10 & API security
✔ Experience with tools like Veracode, Checkmarx, or Fortify

Bonus

• AI-assisted dev/security tools
• AWS or GCP
• Security certifications
