Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Application Security Engineer to help build secure, resilient software throughout the development lifecycle. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to identify security risks early, strengthen application controls and promote secure engineering practices. You will contribute to security initiatives across web, mobile, API and cloud-based applications, helping teams deliver reliable products without compromising usability or delivery speed.
Your responsibilities will include conducting secure code reviews, threat modelling, architecture assessments and application security testing. You will design and maintain security tooling integrated into CI/CD pipelines, analyse findings from static and dynamic analysis tools, and support vulnerability triage, remediation and risk acceptance processes. You will investigate application security incidents, assist with root-cause analysis and recommend practical improvements. The role will also involve developing security standards, guidance and reusable patterns, as well as delivering training and technical advice to engineering teams. You will help monitor emerging threats, assess new technologies and contribute to security metrics and reporting.
Applicants should have professional experience in application or product security, software development, penetration testing or a closely related discipline. You will need a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure software development principles, authentication and authorisation, cryptography fundamentals, cloud security and relevant security frameworks such as OWASP. Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C# or Go, together with familiarity with tools for SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection and dependency management, is highly desirable. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will explain complex risks to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant certifications and experience working in Agile or DevSecOps environments are advantageous.
