What are DAST jobs?

DAST stands for Dynamic Application Security Testing. Professionals in DAST roles use tools and techniques to test web applications for security vulnerabilities while the application is running, simulating real-world attacks to find issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other flaws. DAST specialists typically analyze application behavior, report vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations for mitigation. These roles are crucial in helping organizations maintain secure software by identifying and addressing security risks before attackers can exploit them.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Dast, and why are they important?

I'm sorry, but 'Dast' does not appear to be a recognized real-world professional occupation. Please provide a valid job title for an accurate response.

What is the difference between Dast vs Penetration Tester?

AspectDastPenetration Tester
CertificationsCertified Web Application Defender, OSCP (optional)OSCP, CEH, CPT
Work EnvironmentAutomated testing tools, CI/CD pipelinesManual testing, on-site or remote assessments
Industry UsageWeb app security, DevSecOpsBroader security testing, including networks

While Dast (Dynamic Application Security Testing) uses automated tools to identify vulnerabilities in web applications during runtime, Penetration Testers perform manual and automated testing to find security flaws across systems. Dast is often integrated into development pipelines, whereas Penetration Testing is more comprehensive and manual, typically conducted periodically for in-depth security assessment.

What are some common challenges faced by DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) professionals in their day-to-day work?

DAST professionals often encounter challenges such as handling dynamic and complex web applications that may have frequent code changes, which can impact test accuracy and coverage. They also need to manage false positives and ensure that security scans do not disrupt development workflows or impact application performance. Collaboration with development and DevOps teams is crucial for prioritizing and remediating vulnerabilities effectively. Staying current with evolving security threats and adjusting testing methodologies is also an ongoing part of the role.

Job description


AgileEngine is an Inc. 5000 company that creates award-winning software for Fortune 500 brands and trailblazing startups across 17+ industries. We rank among the leaders in areas like application development and AI/ML, and our people-first culture has earned us multiple Best Place to Work awards.
WHY JOIN US
If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you!
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to architect and build automated security layers within the SDLC, engineering AI-enabled secure code scanning, hardened baseline automation, and CI/CD security tooling integration within a large-scale financial services program. You will work primarily in Python to build automated security runbooks, deploy and tune scanning tools, and provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams - operating with full autonomy and no daily supervision. AppSec and DevSecOps experience is strongly preferred; SAST/DAST/SCA and Java expertise are a plus.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and "Golden Images" to drive secure-from-the-start adoption;
- Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows;
- Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, tuning them to eliminate noise;
- Act as a senior technical SME, reading and reviewing complex application code (Java/Python) to provide software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance.
MUST HAVES
- You must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD), as we are unable to sponsor or take over employment visa sponsorship at this time;
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on Application Security and DevSecOps;
- Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python for security automation and scripting;
- Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks;
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools, including SAST, DAST, and SCA, and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems;
- Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation;
- Advanced application threat modeling experience;
- Ability to confidently read, review, and secure enterprise source Java code.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
