Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. You will work closely with software engineers, architects, product managers and platform teams to identify risks, improve secure development practices and support the delivery of resilient, high-quality applications. The role combines hands-on technical assessment with security enablement, influencing teams to adopt practical and sustainable controls.
Your responsibilities will include conducting threat modelling, secure design reviews, code reviews and penetration testing across web, mobile, API and cloud-based applications. You will manage and investigate findings from static and dynamic application security testing tools, help prioritise remediation based on risk, and provide clear, actionable guidance to engineering teams. You will also contribute to security standards, patterns and tooling; support vulnerability management; assist with incident investigations where application weaknesses may be involved; and promote secure coding through documentation, training and developer engagement. You may also help define security requirements for new products and assess third-party components and services.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, software engineering, penetration testing or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure coding principles and the OWASP framework. Experience with languages such as Java, C#, Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, as well as familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms, version control and security automation, is desirable. Relevant certifications or demonstrable practical expertise are welcome. You should be analytical, collaborative and comfortable communicating technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A proactive mindset, sound judgement and the ability to balance security with delivery objectives are essential.
