Senior Application Security Consultant
We are seeking a Senior Application Security Consultant to help strengthen the security of modern software applications and development processes. In this role, you will work closely with engineering, architecture, infrastructure, and product teams to identify and address security risks throughout the software development lifecycle. You will provide practical, risk-based guidance that enables teams to build and maintain secure, resilient applications without compromising delivery objectives.
Your responsibilities will include conducting application security assessments, threat modelling, secure code reviews, penetration testing, and vulnerability analysis across web, mobile, API, cloud, and distributed systems. You will advise on remediation strategies, validate corrective actions, and support the implementation of secure design principles and development standards. You will also help improve security tooling and processes, including software composition analysis, static and dynamic application security testing, secrets management, and security testing integration within CI/CD pipelines. The role will involve producing clear technical reports, presenting findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and helping teams understand and manage application security risks.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in application security, secure software development, and security consulting, with strong knowledge of common vulnerabilities and frameworks such as OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, and relevant cloud security principles. Experience with programming or scripting languages, APIs, containers, and automated security tools is expected. You should be confident working collaboratively with developers and technical leaders, able to prioritise risks effectively, and comfortable communicating complex issues in a clear and constructive manner. Relevant professional certifications, such as OSCP, GWAPT, CSSLP, or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. A proactive mindset, strong analytical skills, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
