Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the boundary of 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) and 15-1252 (Software Developers): the JD explicitly requires building and shipping AppSec tooling and AI-enhanced pipelines, not just assessing security. The primary framing is AppSec, so 15-1212 is chosen, with 15-1252 as a close runner-up.
The role requires in-person attendance twice a week at the NYC office; it is not fully remote. Employees outside hub cities may work remotely, but this specific role is hybrid/NYC-anchored.
Python is listed alongside Scala, C++, and JavaScript as acceptable scripting/development languages under minimum qualifications — emitted as one skill with the others as alternatives.
SAST and DAST appear together in the preferred section as part of AI-enhanced pipeline work; emitted as one preferred skill with DAST as an alternative.
The salary range ($140,000–$200,000) applies specifically to New York, California, and Washington; compensation in other states may differ.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security tooling & automation.
