Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help strengthen the security of modern software applications throughout their development lifecycle. You will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists and product teams to identify security risks early, promote secure engineering practices and support the delivery of resilient, high-quality applications. This role offers the opportunity to influence security strategy while remaining hands-on with technical assessment and remediation.
Your responsibilities will include designing and maintaining application security processes, integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines, and conducting code reviews, threat modelling, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. You will investigate findings from automated and manual testing, assess their potential impact, and work with development teams to implement practical fixes. You will also help establish security standards, provide guidance on secure coding principles, contribute to incident investigations, and track remediation activities through to completion. Clear documentation, reporting and communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders will be an important part of the role.
Applicants should have professional experience in application security, secure software development or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common web and API vulnerabilities, including those described by the OWASP Top 10. Experience with security testing tools, source code analysis, dependency management, cloud environments and DevSecOps practices is highly desirable. Familiarity with one or more programming languages and knowledge of authentication, authorisation, cryptography and security architecture are expected. Relevant certifications such as OSCP, CSSLP, GWEB or similar are beneficial but not essential. We are looking for a collaborative, analytical professional who can explain complex risks clearly, balance security with delivery needs, and continuously improve security practices across the software development lifecycle.
