Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of software applications throughout their development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to embed secure development practices into design, implementation, testing and deployment. You will contribute to a proactive security culture by identifying risks early, providing practical guidance and helping teams deliver resilient, high-quality applications.
Your responsibilities will include conducting application security reviews, threat modelling, code reviews and penetration testing across web, mobile, API and cloud-based services. You will manage and improve security testing tools, including static and dynamic application security testing, software composition analysis and secrets detection. You will analyse findings, assess their business impact, recommend effective remediation and track issues through to resolution. You will also help develop secure coding standards, security requirements, playbooks and training materials, while supporting incident investigations and vulnerability management activities when required.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application or product security, secure software development or a closely related discipline. You should have a strong understanding of common vulnerabilities and attack techniques, including those described by OWASP, as well as practical knowledge of authentication, authorisation, cryptography, APIs, cloud platforms, containers and CI/CD pipelines. Experience with security automation, scripting and tools such as Burp Suite, Semgrep, SonarQube or comparable technologies is desirable. Relevant certifications are welcome but not essential. You will be curious, collaborative and able to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. The role offers the opportunity to influence security strategy, solve complex challenges and make a measurable difference to the safety of modern digital products.
