Ci&T · Remoto, BR

With 30 years of experience in technological transformation, we accelerate innovation with expertise in Agentic SDLC, Application modernization, Data \& AI, Martech and Business strategy. We are 8,000 CI\&Ters across more than 25 countries, collaborating to build solutions with real impact. AI is already part of how we work, evolve, and innovate every day. We are looking for a **PHP Developer** to join the vulnerability remediation program of one of our clients. Their security scanning tooling is surfacing more findings than the internal team can close — your job is to close that gap. This is not advisory work and it is not a pure security analyst role: you will spend your days in the PHP codebase and in AWS, implementing fixes, validating closures, and driving remediation throughput at scale.The ideal candidate has worked extensively with PHP *and* has hands\-on experience remediating security vulnerabilities, not just identifying them. **What You Will Do** * Take prioritized findings from the security backlog and drive each one to deployed, validated completion — researching root cause, implementing the correct fix, deploying it, and producing closure evidence for the client's risk program. * Remediate PHP vulnerabilities hands\-on: fix injection, authentication, deserialization, and credential exposure defects; refactor vulnerable patterns; and remove hardcoded secrets. * Perform dependency and package upgrades using Composer, resolving breaking changes and transitive conflicts. * Execute AWS\-side remediation: configuration hardening, IAM adjustments, and secret rotation — migrating credentials to a managed secrets store in coordination with the Remediation Lead. * Validate every fix through automated tests and confirm the finding no longer reproduces. * Identify recurring patterns that warrant a systemic fix rather than repeated one\-off remediation, and contribute them to the team playbook. * Work embedded with the client's engineering team, following their branching, code review, CI/CD, and definition of done. * Support client engineers in adopting secure coding practices. **What We Require** * Professional PHP development experience — including work on legacy or inherited codebases. Recent, active PHP work is required; * Hands\-on security remediation experience — you must have personally fixed OWASP Top 10 class vulnerabilities at code level. Understanding them conceptually is not enough. * Excellent English communication skills — daily written and spoken collaboration with a US\-based engineering team. * Senior or above seniority level * Experience writing automated tests with PHPUnit or equivalent. * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. **Nice to Have** * Proficiency with Git, code review discipline, and CI/CD pipelines. * Experience working with security scanners at volume: Snyk, Veracode, Dependabot, or Checkmarx. * Prior experience burning down a security or technical debt backlog against throughput targets. * Modern PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony) alongside legacy pre\-framework PHP. * AWS experience specifically with PHP applications: EC2, ECS, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, or Parameter Store. * Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or CloudFormation. * Containerization with Docker and ECS or EKS. * Experience integrating with legacy systems \#LI\-JM5 **Our benefits:** * Health and dental insurance * Meal and food allowance * Childcare assistance * Extended paternity leave * Partnership with gyms and health and wellness professionals via Wellhub (Gympass) TotalPass; * Profit Sharing and Results Participation (PLR); * Life insurance * Continuous learning platform (CI\&T University); * Discount club * Free online platform dedicated to physical, mental, and overall well\-being * Pregnancy and responsible parenting course * Partnerships with online learning platforms * Language learning platform And many more!
