Product Security Lead (Secure SDLC & VAPT)

About the job

Location: Chennai (HQ) - Onsite

Function: Product Security

Experience: 7+ (incl. 2+ years in a lead/ownership role)

About the role

Were looking for an Product Security Lead to embed security into our SDLC and own end-to-end VAPT remediation across our lending product suite (LOS/LMS, rules engine, analytics). You'll partner with engineering and platform teams to design, build, and operate secure-by-default products used by leading financial institutions.

What you'll do

  • Own the Secure SDLC for microservices (Java/Spring Boot), Node/TypeScript backends, Angular UIs, and Android/Flutter apps—policy, standards, and release gates.
  • Build and run CI/CD security controls: SAST, SCA/SBOM, secrets & IaC checks, container/image scanning; automate DAST/IAST in pipelines; enforce block-on-fail where needed.
  • Drive VAPT end-to-end: scope with internal/third-party testers, triage findings, set SLAs, track remediation to closure; verify fixes and prevent regressions.
  • Threat model & review designs/code for authN/Z, crypto, session management, API security, data protection/PII, and high-risk modules (payments, onboarding, documents).
  • Cloud & platform security (AWS): baselines for EC2/ALB, RDS/KMS, S3 policies, network segmentation, mTLS/JWT service auth, Vault-backed secrets, and key rotation.
  • Observability & governance: wire security logs to SIEM, define AppSec KPIs (MTTR, SLA adherence, gate coverage), and report risk posture to engineering leadership.
  • Upskill teams: run secure coding workshops, build a "security champions" program, create playbooks/runbooks for common vulns and abuse cases.

What you'll bring

  • 7–12 years in Application/Product Security, including leading Secure SDLC and VAPT remediation in a product engineering environment.
  • Hands-on with SAST/SCA/DAST/IAST, code reviews, and threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE); ability to read code in Java/Spring, Node/TypeScript, and Angular.
  • Prior experience in integrating security checks and gating criteria with CI platform like SonarQube
  • Strong grasp of OWASP Top 10, API Security Top 10, ASVS, CWE, secrets management, and CI/CD hardening.
  • AWS security experience: IAM, KMS, RDS encryption, SG/WAF, CloudTrail/Guard Duty; familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation).
  • Experience running vendor/3rd-party VAPT cycles and landing fixes to SLA with engineering teams.
  • Awareness of compliance contexts (ISO 27001/SOC 2, RBI guidance, DPDP Act) and secure handling of PII/financial data.
  • Nice to have: mobile app security (OWASP MASVS), OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, Web Authn/modern auth patterns; Kafka, Redis, NGINX, Consul, Vault.
  • Certifications (optional, a plus): OSWE/OSCP, GWAPT/GWEB, CSSLP.

What success looks like (first 6 months)

  • 95% of Critical/High findings closed within SLA across services.
  • All repos behind security gates with SBOMs published; zero hard-coded secrets; baseline threat models for top services.
  • Repeatable VAPT remediation verification loop with dashboards visible to leadership.

Why join us

  • Build security for mission-critical fintech products at scale.
  • High ownership, direct impact, and the chance to set the bar for product security across our stack.
  • Collaborative culture with strong engineering, rapid delivery, and growth opportunities.
