Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of modern software applications throughout their development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to identify security risks, improve secure development practices and support the delivery of resilient, high-quality applications. You will contribute to security standards, threat modelling, architecture reviews and the integration of security controls into development and deployment processes.
Your responsibilities will include conducting secure code reviews, analysing application vulnerabilities and supporting penetration testing activities. You will help manage and improve software composition analysis, static and dynamic application security testing, secrets detection and other security tooling within CI/CD pipelines. You will investigate findings, assess risk, recommend practical remediation approaches and track issues through to resolution. You will also assist with developing security guidance, reusable patterns and training materials, while helping engineering teams understand and adopt secure coding principles. The role may include supporting incident investigations, reviewing third-party integrations and contributing to security assessments for cloud-based services and APIs.
The successful candidate will have experience in application security, product security, software engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure software development methodologies and security frameworks such as OWASP. Familiarity with cloud platforms, containerised environments, modern programming languages, source-control systems and automated delivery pipelines is desirable. You should be comfortable communicating technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, balancing security requirements with delivery goals and working collaboratively across multiple teams. A proactive mindset, strong analytical skills and a commitment to continuous learning are essential. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable experience contributing to security tooling, threat modelling or vulnerability management would be advantageous.
