Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of modern software applications throughout their development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to identify, assess and reduce application security risks. You will contribute to a security-focused engineering culture by promoting practical, scalable controls and supporting teams in building secure products by design.
Your responsibilities will include conducting secure code reviews, threat modelling, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing across web, mobile and API-based applications. You will help integrate security testing into CI/CD pipelines, define and maintain application security standards, and support the use of tools such as SAST, DAST, software composition analysis and secrets detection. You will investigate reported vulnerabilities, prioritise remediation based on risk, track findings through to resolution and provide clear technical guidance to development teams. You may also contribute to incident investigations, security architecture reviews, developer training and the creation of secure coding guidance and documentation.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, software engineering, security testing or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, including those outlined in the OWASP Top 10. Experience with cloud environments, containerised workloads, threat modelling methodologies and automation using scripting or programming languages such as Python, JavaScript or Java is highly desirable. You should be comfortable reviewing code, explaining complex security issues to varied audiences and working collaboratively in an agile environment. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to learning and improving security practices. Relevant certifications or formal qualifications in cybersecurity are welcome but not essential.
