Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help design, implement, and continuously improve security across the software development lifecycle. You will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists, and product teams to identify risks early and promote secure-by-design principles across applications and services. The role involves supporting a collaborative security culture while balancing robust protection with practical delivery requirements.
Key responsibilities include conducting application security assessments, threat modelling, secure code reviews, and vulnerability analysis. You will configure and maintain security tooling within CI/CD pipelines, interpret scan results, and support development teams in prioritising and remediating findings. You will also contribute to penetration testing activities, security testing strategies, dependency and secrets management, and the development of reusable security standards, guidelines, and technical controls. Where incidents or significant vulnerabilities arise, you will help investigate root causes, coordinate response activities, and recommend improvements to prevent recurrence.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, software development, security engineering, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, such as those identified by the OWASP Top 10. Experience with secure SDLC practices, threat modelling frameworks, code analysis tools, cloud environments, and modern CI/CD technologies is highly desirable. Familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or similar will be advantageous. You should be able to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, influence stakeholders constructively, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment. Relevant certifications or demonstrable practical experience are welcomed, but a problem-solving mindset, curiosity, and commitment to continuous learning are essential.
