Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to identify and address security risks across web applications, APIs, cloud services and supporting infrastructure. You will contribute to building secure-by-design practices while helping teams deliver reliable, high-quality products.
Your responsibilities will include conducting application security assessments, threat modelling, vulnerability reviews and penetration testing; supporting secure code reviews; and analysing findings from automated and manual testing. You will help define security requirements, improve development standards and provide practical guidance on remediation. You will also assist with integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines, developing security checks and metrics, tracking vulnerabilities through to resolution, and supporting incident investigations where application security is involved. A key part of the role will be communicating technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and promoting security awareness across engineering teams.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application or product security, software development, penetration testing or a closely related discipline. You should have a strong understanding of common application vulnerabilities, including those outlined by OWASP, as well as secure coding principles, authentication and authorisation, cryptography, API security and cloud security concepts. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C# or Go, along with familiarity with tools for static analysis, dynamic testing, dependency scanning and container security, would be advantageous. We value curiosity, sound judgement and a collaborative approach, as well as the ability to prioritise risks and explain complex issues clearly. Relevant security certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome.
