Security Design Engineer (Application Security)

Reference: 5f070bxn84rbezubr73s

We are seeking a Security Design Engineer (Application Security) to help embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, product teams and delivery stakeholders to design secure, resilient applications and services. You will translate security principles into practical engineering guidance, identify risks early, and support teams in delivering solutions that meet business and regulatory requirements.

Your responsibilities will include conducting threat modelling, security architecture reviews and design assessments for new and existing applications. You will define security requirements, review technical specifications, assess application and API controls, and recommend appropriate mitigations for identified risks. You will contribute to secure coding standards, patterns and reusable guidance, while supporting vulnerability management, penetration testing and remediation activities. The role will also involve helping to improve application security tooling and processes, including security testing within CI/CD pipelines, software composition analysis, static and dynamic testing, and secrets management. You will communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences and help teams understand the business impact of security decisions.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in application security, secure software development or security architecture, with a strong understanding of common vulnerabilities and attack techniques, including those identified by OWASP. You should be comfortable reviewing code and designs, analysing threats, and working with modern development methodologies, cloud platforms, APIs, containers and identity technologies. Experience with DevSecOps practices, security automation and risk management is highly desirable. Strong communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to influence delivery teams and balance security, usability and delivery objectives. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience would be advantageous.
