Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help embed secure development practices across the software lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, product managers and infrastructure teams to identify, assess and address application security risks. You will contribute to security-by-design initiatives, support threat modelling activities and help ensure that security controls are practical, proportionate and aligned with business and technical objectives.
Your responsibilities will include conducting security reviews of applications, APIs and cloud-based services; identifying vulnerabilities through code review, automated tooling and manual testing; and supporting the prioritisation, remediation and verification of security findings. You will help develop and maintain secure coding standards, engineering guidance and security testing strategies. You will also contribute to the improvement of software composition analysis, static and dynamic application security testing, secrets detection and security monitoring within CI/CD pipelines. Where appropriate, you will investigate application security incidents, provide clear recommendations to technical stakeholders and help deliver training and awareness sessions for development teams.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, product security, software engineering or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure software development principles and relevant frameworks such as OWASP Top 10 and ASVS. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, or Go, and familiarity with cloud environments, containers, version control and DevSecOps practices, would be valuable. You should be analytical, collaborative and comfortable communicating complex security issues to both technical and non-technical audiences. Industry certifications such as OSCP, CSSLP, GWAPT or equivalent are welcome but not essential.
