Position Overview
Our team of security experts helps Autodesk design, build, deploy, and maintain secure products. We embed security across the full software development lifecycle—from inception and design to development, testing, and cloud operations—while proactively addressing emerging threats.
Our mission is to stay ahead of adversaries and protect our customers’ data and investments by strengthening applications, services, and infrastructure. As an Application Security Developer (DAST & API Security), you will help secure Autodesk’s web applications and APIs by identifying and validating vulnerabilities in real-world execution environments. You will partner with product and engineering teams to perform dynamic testing, triage findings, and support remediation, while helping integrate security testing into CI/CD pipelines.
This is a mid-level, hands-on role focused on execution and collaboration, with opportunities to grow your expertise across modern architectures (microservices, SPAs, and API-driven systems) at scale.
Responsibilities
Perform dynamic application security testing (DAST) against web applications and APIs to identify runtime vulnerabilities, including authentication, authorization, and business logic flaws
Conduct API security assessments (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), validating authentication flows, authorization models, rate limiting, and data exposure risks
Execute and support web application security testing, including manual testing and automated scanning aligned with OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10
