RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client is seeking an Application Security Remediation Technical Lead to provide technical leadership across three teams supporting a large-scale application security initiative.
Responsibilities:
* Lead technical direction across two application security remediation teams and serve as the escalation point for complex vulnerabilities, architecture issues, dependencies, and release constraints
* Partner with security, engineering, application, and product to prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk, exposure, business impact, dependencies, and release readiness
* Establish remediation standards for secure coding, code reviews, testing, CI/CD controls, releases, and vulnerability closure
* Analyze findings within the broader application architecture to identify dependencies and determine appropriate remediation strategies
* Use AI-assisted engineering tools to analyze code, understand legacy dependencies, recommend fixes, generate tests, and prepare changes for human review
* Guide unit, functional, regression, and security testing to ensure fixes address vulnerabilities without impacting expected functionality
* Ensure findings are not closed until code review, validation, testing, release confirmation, and supporting evidence are complete
* Develop reusable secure coding patterns, remediation approaches, and AI-enabled resources to improve consistency and efficiency
* Identify cross-team risks, dependencies, blockers, and capacity constraints while communicating progress and recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders
* Mentor technical leads and establish repeatable processes that enable teams to operate independently
REQUIREMENTS:
* 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years leading application security remediation, secure modernization, or multiple engineering workstreams
* Deep Microsoft-stack experience, including .NET Framework/modern .NET, C#, ASP.NET MVC/ASPX/Razor, REST APIs, SQL Server, T-SQL/stored procedures, Git, and Azure DevOps
* Hands-on application security remediation experience, including OWASP Top 10 and CWE/CVE-based findings
* Experience with SAST, DAST, software composition analysis (SCA), secure SDLC, DevSecOps, and CI/CD security controls
* Ability to analyze application architecture and dependencies to determine upstream/downstream impacts of vulnerabilities and proposed fixes
* Practical experience applying AI to software engineering, including context/prompt design, output validation, governed tool usage, and human review of AI-generated recommendations or code
* Understanding of security/privacy considerations when using AI tools with sensitive data, including PHI, PII, credentials, and secrets
* Ability to make sound technical decisions when scanner findings, AI recommendations, application context, and operational requirements conflict
* Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical risk, remediation decisions, progress, trade-offs, and capacity needs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with legacy Microsoft technologies such as Classic ASP, VBScript, VB6/VB.NET, older .NET frameworks, large .NET monoliths, and SQL-heavy applications
* Exposure to legacy modernization, cloud-ready/12-factor architecture, Angular or modern front-end development, and distributed onshore/nearshore/offshore teams
* Healthcare or regulated-industry experience, including HIPAA, and familiarity with SAFe/Agile environments are preferred
