Senior Application Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer to strengthen security across the software development lifecycle and help build resilient, secure applications at scale. In this role, you will partner with engineering, architecture, infrastructure, and product teams to identify and address security risks from design through deployment. You will define application security standards, provide practical guidance to development teams, and promote secure coding practices through coaching, documentation, and targeted enablement.
Your responsibilities will include conducting threat modelling, architecture and design reviews, secure code reviews, and application security assessments. You will support and improve security testing across CI/CD pipelines, including the effective use of static application security testing, dynamic testing, software composition analysis, secrets detection, and infrastructure-as-code scanning. You will investigate vulnerabilities, assess business impact, prioritise remediation, and work with engineering teams to verify fixes. You will also contribute to vulnerability management, security metrics, incident response, penetration testing coordination, and the continual improvement of application security processes and tooling.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in application or product security, with strong knowledge of secure software development principles, common vulnerability classes, and standards such as OWASP Top 10 and ASVS. Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language, familiarity with modern cloud environments and containerised applications, and hands-on experience integrating security tools into development workflows are expected. You should be comfortable communicating technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, influencing without direct authority, and balancing security requirements with delivery objectives. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable.
