Application Security Engineer
We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to help embed security throughout the software development lifecycle and strengthen the resilience of web, mobile, and cloud-based applications. You will work closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps specialists, and product teams to identify, assess, and reduce security risks from design through deployment. The role combines hands-on technical investigation with practical guidance, enabling development teams to build secure, reliable, and maintainable products.
Your responsibilities will include conducting secure code reviews, threat modelling, security testing, and vulnerability assessments across applications, APIs, and supporting infrastructure. You will help define and maintain application security standards, contribute to secure development frameworks, and support the integration of security controls into CI/CD pipelines. You will investigate vulnerabilities, advise on remediation priorities, validate fixes, and track risks through to resolution. You will also assist with security architecture reviews, improve developer security awareness through training and documentation, and monitor emerging threats, attack techniques, and relevant industry standards.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, product security, software engineering, or a closely related field, together with a strong understanding of common vulnerabilities such as those identified by OWASP. Experience with code analysis tools, dynamic application security testing, software composition analysis, penetration testing, and cloud security is highly desirable. You should be comfortable reading and understanding code in one or more languages, working with modern development and deployment practices, and communicating technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, collaborative approach, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to balance security requirements with delivery objectives are essential. Relevant certifications, such as OSCP, GWAPT, CSSLP, or equivalent practical experience, would be advantageous.
