Application Security Engineering Manager

Reference: pck88o29rb8u569pvmg1

We are seeking an Application Security Engineering Manager to lead a talented team responsible for embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle. You will set the technical direction for application security engineering, establish pragmatic security standards, and work closely with software engineering, platform, architecture and product teams to ensure secure design and delivery. This role will combine strategic leadership with hands-on technical involvement, helping to identify risks early and enabling teams to build resilient, high-quality applications.

Your responsibilities will include managing, mentoring and developing application security engineers; defining and improving secure development processes; overseeing threat modelling, secure code reviews, vulnerability management and security testing; and supporting the adoption of automated security controls within CI/CD pipelines. You will establish meaningful metrics and reporting, prioritise remediation activity, and provide clear guidance on risk, regulatory expectations and industry best practice. You will also contribute to incident response, security architecture reviews and the development of policies, standards and training that improve security awareness across the engineering organisation.

You will bring substantial experience in application security, software engineering or a closely related discipline, together with proven experience leading or managing technical teams. Strong knowledge of secure software development, threat modelling, common application vulnerabilities, security testing tools and cloud-native technologies is essential. Experience with DevSecOps, modern development practices and programming or scripting will be highly valued. You should be an effective communicator who can explain complex risks to both technical and non-technical audiences, influence stakeholders at all levels and balance security with delivery objectives. A collaborative, practical and improvement-focused approach is important, as is the ability to work confidently in a fast-paced environment. Relevant professional certifications or a degree in computer science, cyber security or a related subject would be advantageous.
