Senior Application Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of applications and services across the software development lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, platform and product teams to embed secure-by-design principles, identify vulnerabilities early and support the delivery of resilient, high-quality software. This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical judgement, effective communication and the ability to influence teams in a collaborative environment.
Your responsibilities will include designing and maintaining application security standards, threat modelling new and existing systems, and conducting security reviews of architecture, code and application interfaces. You will assess findings from penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and other security tools, prioritising remediation according to risk and business impact. You will also help develop secure coding guidance, improve security testing within CI/CD pipelines, and support the management of security defects through to resolution. The role will involve contributing to incident investigations, providing practical advice to development teams and keeping abreast of emerging threats, attack techniques and industry standards.
You will bring substantial experience in application or product security, with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure software development practices and threat modelling methodologies. Practical knowledge of tools for static and dynamic analysis, software composition analysis, penetration testing or cloud security is expected, along with experience working with modern development and deployment technologies. Familiarity with standards such as OWASP, ISO 27001 or NIST would be beneficial. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex security matters clearly and work constructively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are welcome.
