Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of software applications throughout their development lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, platform and product teams to identify security risks early, promote secure development practices and support the delivery of resilient, high-quality applications.
Your responsibilities will include conducting application security assessments, reviewing source code and architectural designs, supporting threat modelling activities, and helping teams remediate vulnerabilities effectively. You will contribute to the development and maintenance of security standards, guidance and patterns, while ensuring that security controls are practical, proportionate and aligned with business needs.
You will help integrate security testing into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows, including the use of static and dynamic analysis, software composition analysis and other appropriate tooling. The role will also involve investigating security findings, prioritising risks, tracking remediation activity and producing clear reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have experience in application security, secure software development or a closely related discipline. You should have a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, secure coding principles, authentication and authorisation, encryption, secrets management and relevant industry frameworks such as OWASP. Experience with cloud environments, containerised applications, infrastructure as code and modern development methodologies would be advantageous.
You will be a confident communicator who can build effective relationships with technical teams and influence positive security outcomes without unnecessarily slowing delivery. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and explain complex issues clearly. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications are welcome, but practical experience, curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning are equally valued.
This role offers the opportunity to shape application security practices, contribute to meaningful technical improvements and work within a collaborative environment that values secure, reliable and innovative solutions.
