Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Axley is a Senior Staff Application Security Engineer with 20+ years of experience building pragmatic, developer-first security programs across large enterprises including Webflow, AWS, Expedia, and JPMorgan Chase. He specializes in shifting security left—automating SAST at scale, embedding cloud configuration checks and remediation, and driving measurable outcomes rather than checkbox compliance. Jason combines deep hands-on technical skills (from UNIX and embedded systems roots to modern serverless, containers, and AI-agent access control research) with a strategic mindset for risk-prioritized initiatives. He’s known for turning proofs-of-concept into production services that empower thousands of developers and reduce attack surface across complex distributed systems. Outside of work he channels the same curiosity into electronics tinkering and outdoor adventures in the Pacific Northwest, reflecting a practical, experiment-driven approach to problem solving.
