Authority Partners is seeking a Senior Code Reviewer for a specialist security and quality gate role on an AI Native platform engagement. This role exists specifically because of the AI Native delivery model — you do not build features, you gate the security and test quality of what AI agents produce. As the third member of the mandatory 3-person review panel, you own the security anti-pattern dimension on all identity, payment, and video authentication code, run SAST tooling across every PR, and audit AI-generated test suites for structural completeness.
Requirements:
- 6+ years of security engineering or senior backend engineering with a strong security focus
- OWASP Top 10 at code review depth: practical identification of SQL injection via ORM misuse, XSS in React Server Components, CSRF on mutation endpoints, SSRF in HTTP clients, broken object-level authorisation in TypeScript/Node.js and Next.js
- OAuth 2.0 and OIDC security review: algorithm confusion attacks, missing audience/issuer validation, incorrect token lifetime, refresh token theft, PKCE enforcement failures in AI-generated authentication middleware
- Direct experience reviewing AI-generated code in a production context: understanding AI code failure modes, hallucinated API usage, tautological assertions, happy-path-only coverage, security logic in the wrong layer
- Hands-on SAST tool experience (Semgrep, SonarQube, Snyk, or equivalent): writing custom rules, triaging findings, distinguishing true positives from false positives in a TypeScript monorepo
- Experience auditing test suites for structural completeness: identifying missing edge cases, incorrect assertions, and compliance scenario gaps in AI-generated test output
Nice to Have:
- Stryker mutation testing setup for TypeScript: configuration, survivor analysis, CI/CD integration as a blocking gate
- Keycloak security review: overly permissive RBAC policies, incorrect public vs. confidential client configuration, missing PKCE enforcement, session fixation vulnerabilities
- Stripe integration security review: webhook signature verification, PCI-DSS surface minimisation, double-charge prevention, idempotency key discipline
- Property-based testing with fast-check for TypeScript: financial calculation functions and entitlement matrix logic
- Penetration testing coordination: preparing platforms for third-party pen testing and remediating findings
AP Perks:
- Most cutting-edge technologies
- Opportunity to work with people who are at the top of their field
- Great culture and environment
- Competitive remuneration package. We reward excellence
- Referral bonus
- Career growth
- Collaborative learning environment
- Mentorship programs
