Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help protect the organisation’s software, systems and customers from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will work closely with development, DevOps, infrastructure and product teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. You will contribute to the design and implementation of secure applications, identify weaknesses before they reach production, and support a strong culture of security awareness across technical teams.
Your responsibilities will include conducting application security assessments, threat modelling, code reviews and penetration testing, as well as analysing findings from automated security tools. You will help manage and improve security testing within CI/CD pipelines, define practical remediation guidance, and track vulnerabilities through to resolution. You will also contribute to secure coding standards, security architecture reviews, incident investigations and the development of security documentation, policies and technical guidance. The role may include supporting developer training and advising on authentication, authorisation, encryption, secrets management, APIs and cloud-based services.
We are looking for experience in application security, software development, security engineering or a related discipline, with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, including those outlined by the OWASP Top 10. You should be comfortable with application security tooling, vulnerability management and at least one programming or scripting language. Familiarity with cloud environments, containerisation, infrastructure as code and modern development methodologies would be advantageous. Relevant security certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. You will need excellent communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to explain complex security risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, collaborative approach and a genuine interest in improving security practices are essential.
