ServiceNow is seeking an Expert, Application Security & VIPR to lead the application security program across Armis products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for architecting, automating, and continuously improving the application security posture while ensuring vulnerabilities are fully integrated into the VIPR (Vulnerability Intelligence & Prioritization & Remediation) framework.
You will bridge engineering, product security, and vulnerability management, defining how application risks are identified, prioritized, contextualized, and remediated across SaaS and on-premises platforms. The role ensures AppSec findings are not siloed but correlated with asset intelligence, exploitability, exposure, and business impact.
Key responsibilities include:
**Application Security Leadership**: Lead the AppSec program across all Armis products, embedding security throughout the SDLC. Perform secure design and architecture reviews with engineering teams. Conduct and lead threat modeling sessions using STRIDE, DREAD, or PASTA methodologies.
**VMDR Integration & Vulnerability Lifecycle**: Own application-layer vulnerability management from detection through remediation and validation. Integrate AppSec findings (SAST, DAST, SCA, API testing) into centralized vulnerability workflows and risk scoring. Correlate application vulnerabilities with asset context, exploit intelligence, and business criticality to drive risk-based remediation. Track and report VMDR metrics including MTTD, MTTR, exposure windows, and remediation effectiveness.
**Automation & Tooling**: Build and maintain automated AppSec pipelines for SAST, DAST, SCA, and API security testing. Collaborate with DevOps to integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Buildkite). Partner with Cloud and Infrastructure Security to secure APIs, microservices, and containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes).
**Engineering Partnership & Enablement**: Develop and maintain secure coding standards and security baselines for React, Node.js, Python, Java, and Go. Mentor engineers and security champions; deliver secure coding training and threat modeling workshops. Act as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership, translating vulnerabilities into clear risk and remediation guidance.
**Compliance & Assurance**: Support compliance and audit readiness including SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and HIPAA, ensuring application risks are documented and managed within AppSec processes.
**Requirements**
Required Qualifications:
- 7–10+ years of experience in Application Security, Product Security, or Secure Software Engineering
- Proven expertise in SAST, DAST, SCA, and dependency management tools (e.g., Veracode, Checkmarx, Fortify, Snyk, SonarQube, OWASP Dependency-Check)
Preferred Skills:
- Experience in a SaaS, cloud-native, or cybersecurity product company
- Hands-on experience integrating AppSec into broader VIPR or exposure management programs
- Familiarity with cloud and container security platforms (Prisma Cloud, Wiz, Orca)
- Experience with IaC security (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Exposure to API Gateway security, OAuth2, token-based auth, and zero-trust architectures
- Relevant certifications such as OSWE, CSSLP, GWAPT, GWEB, CEH
- Hands-on coding proficiency in at least two modern languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go)
- Strong experience managing vulnerabilities end-to-end, including triage, prioritization, remediation tracking, and validation
- Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10, CWE, CVE, and exploitability concepts
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and secure build automation
- Experience with threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, and microservices/API security
- Ability to clearly communicate technical risk to both engineering teams and business stakeholders
