Description

• Experience with Application Security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, ASOC, Container/Cloud) — required
• Experience with Coverity, BlackDuck, SRM, or Fortify — a plus
• HTTP request/response headers for web and RESTful API calls
• Ability to explain in detail any of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (Cross-Site Scripting, Injection attacks, SSRF, CSRF, XML entity, etc.)
• API security, JWT, OAuth/OIDC/PKCE
• Web and API replay attacks
• High-level understanding of containers
• Cloud development experience (Azure, AWS, GCP)
