Approximately 80% of this role focuses on SAST/SCA/Secrets/DAST and API security scanning technology.
Overview PepsiCo’s Global Application Security Program partners with development teams to identify and reduce security risk across enterprise applications and APIs. Approximately 80% of this role focuses on SAST/SCA/Secrets/DAST and API security scanning technology. The engineer will support the operation and tuning of tools, manually triage security findings, perform targeted reviews using established procedures, assist developers with remediation, and manage findings through centralized vulnerability-management workflows. The engineer will also help develop and maintain backend automation that initiates scans, monitors scan status, processes results, handles common failures, and integrates security tools into CI/CD and developer workflows. The remaining capacity will support mobile application-security tooling and integrations as needed. Working knowledge of mobile security reviews is preferred but not required. This may include assisting with specific mobile-application security tooling scanning automation and CI/CD integrations under the guidance of senior engineers. Responsibilities Operate and support SAST/SCA/Secret/DAST and API security scanning tools. Review, validate, and manually triage security findings, identify false positives, reproduce common issues, assess potential impact, and escalate complex findings when appropriate. Perform targeted web application and API security reviews using established tools, standards, procedures, and test cases. Assist with configuring and tuning SAST/SCA and Secret rules, policies, exclusions, severity mappings, and quality gates. Assist with configuring DAST and API scan profiles, authentication workflows, crawl settings, scan scopes, schedules, and policies. Support the integration of security tools into source-control, pull-request, build, CI/CD, ticketing, and developer workflows. Contribute to backend scanning automation that initiates scans, monitors scan state, handles retries, retrieves results, and routes findings to downstream systems. Process findings through centralized application-security or vulnerability-management platforms, including normalization, deduplication, ownership assignment, remediation tracking, suppression, and exception workflows. Provide developers with clear remediation guidance and support validation and tracking of vulnerabilities through closure. Monitor scan execution and integration health, troubleshoot common authentication, connectivity, configuration, timeout, and result-processing issues, and escalate platform problems as needed. As needed, support mobile security finding triage and tooling, including assisting with backend automation and CI/CD integrations for mobile security scans. Document findings, remediation guidance, scan configurations, integration procedures, troubleshooting steps, metrics, and operational activities while participating in Agile ceremonies and team support processes. Support team incident rotation through on-call hours, including weekends and holidays as needed.
