Lead Application Security Engineer

Reference: 0ku3chzk9p58tpaerxnc

We are seeking a Lead Application Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the secure software development lifecycle. In this role, you will help shape application security strategy, establish practical security standards, and work closely with engineering, architecture, infrastructure, and product teams to embed security into the design, development, testing, and release of software. You will lead initiatives that reduce risk while enabling teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and secure applications.

Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining application security policies, patterns, and guidance; leading threat modelling, architecture reviews, and security assessments; and supporting the identification, prioritisation, and remediation of vulnerabilities. You will oversee the effective use of security testing tools, including static and dynamic analysis, software composition analysis, penetration testing, and code review processes. You will also investigate complex security issues, advise on risk acceptance and mitigation, contribute to incident response, and produce clear reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A key part of the role will be mentoring engineers and security specialists, promoting security awareness, and measuring the effectiveness of application security controls.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in application or product security, with a strong understanding of secure coding principles, modern software architectures, APIs, cloud environments, identity and access management, and common web and mobile vulnerabilities. Experience with DevSecOps practices, CI/CD security automation, threat modelling methodologies, and recognised security frameworks such as OWASP is essential. You should be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, balancing security with delivery objectives, and communicating complex risks clearly. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable. We are looking for a collaborative, pragmatic leader who can operate strategically while remaining hands-on when required.
