below is the detailed requirements.

Job Title: Automation Engineer (AI-Driven Code Security & Remediation Framework)

Location: New York

Job Description:

• Bachelor's degree or Maters Degree in Computer science, or a related field, with 12+ Years of relevant experience.

• Programming: Strong Python (scanners, orchestration, API integration); basic Bash for CI/CD glue

• Source & Artifact Systems: GitHub (Actions, Advanced Security, PR workflows) and JFrog Artifactory/Xray; ability to scale across multi-repo, multi-language codebases

• Scanning Tools: Hands-on with Snyk, Xray, CodeQL / Dependabot, Trivy, or Semgrep; understanding of CVE/CVSS scoring and EOL-detection sources (e.g., endoflife.date)

• AI-Driven Remediation: Building agentic workflows (LLM-based) that interpret findings, generate patch PRs, run tests, and summarize fixes; prompt engineering for code-editing agents

• CI/CD & Orchestration: Integrating scan-and-fix pipelines into GitHub Actions/Jenkins; Docker for isolated fix-testing; scheduling via Airflow/cron

• Reporting: Structuring findings (JSON/SQL) into dashboards for tracking coverage and trends

Supporting Skills

• Security fundamentals (injection, auth flaws, supply-chain/SBOM risk)

• Risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS scores

• Semantic versioning awareness for safe auto-upgrades

• Testing discipline — regression validation before auto-merge

Communication Skills

• Translating vulnerability data into concise, risk-framed leadership updates (exposure counts, MTTR, fix-rate trends)

• Writing clear status emails on scan coverage and outstanding critical items

• Building the business case (time saved, risk reduced) for non-technical stakeholders

Continuous Learning

• Tracking emerging agentic/AI remediation tools and evaluating fit before firm-wide adoption
