Application Security Engineer ServiceNow platform (Remote) We are looking for an Application Security Engineer for a large, global B2B high-tech company. In this role, you will manage the entire lifecycle of security findings reported by customers and penetration testers. This is a hands-on role that requires a deep understanding of security issues. You will triage real vulnerability reports, configure the ServiceNow instance to reflect the customer's setup, communicate directly with enterprise customers, and dive into the platform-level code to validate and assess security concerns. This is a 7.5-month contract (Extension possible). 40 hours per week, remote role in the US. This is a W2 employee of Stage 4 Solutions. Health benefits and 401K are offered.

Responsibilities

• Triage security findings submitted via customer channels validate exploitability, assess scope, assess risk, and determine remediation path.
• Analyze platform-level vulnerabilities across web, API, and server-side attack surfaces (SSRF, IDOR, blind query injection, SQLi, XSS, GraphQL abuse, privilege escalation, etc).
• Write customer-facing security assessments technically enough to satisfy CISO, clear enough for an account team to deliver.
• Coordinate with engineering on defect filing, backport decisions, and patch validation.
• Reproduce and verify reported vulnerabilities in lab environments (PDI/cloud instances/Local).
• Review code (JavaScript/Java) to trace attack paths and validate fix completeness.

Requirements

• 3+ years in application security, pentesting, bug bounty, or product security engineering.
• Strong working knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and beyond: prototype pollution, server-side injection, SSRF, IDOR, GraphQL attack surface.
• Comfortably navigate a ServiceNow instance and reason about security in the Now Platform context.
• Understand key platform mechanisms: ACLs/roles, scoped apps, business rules, scripted REST APIs, and data access patterns (GlideRecord/Table API).
• Mirror a customer scenario in a lab tenant to reproduce and validate reported issues.
• Trace the relevant server-side/client-side code path and clearly communicate scope and impact (what is and isn t affected).
• Ability to read and trace code across JavaScript and Java codebases
• Experience writing technical security reports for both engineering and executive audiences.
• CVSS scoring fluency not just the number, but the reasoning

Preferred

• Advanced ServiceNow platform experience (e.g., custom app development or deep familiarity with the ACL model and scoping boundaries)
• Background in customer-facing security roles or managed security services
• Familiarity with bug bounty programs (HackerOne, Bugcrowd) from the triage side
• Security certifications (GWEB, GWAPT, OSCP, or equivalent)
